thats unusual cause when i was reading my local messenger, they had an article on the nats which stated that its a good ahead despite the drama's they are currently dealing with. could be a publicity stunt simply to keep enthusiast happy and themselves out of hot water.

There is a bit on there saying its posponed until Feb 25 or something, due to a new timing system being installed

[Hotwire]

the following ANDRA sanctioned drag racing events have been deferred until new dates are set.Four, Six and Rotary Nationals - February 25th& 26th Super Charged Outlaws /Pro Stock /Pro Bike - March 18th

It was on Feb 25&26, it is now postponned indefinately, as is the Supercharged outlaws..

At minumum else we can look forward to time boards and a stickier surface

Perhaps even some soap in the toiles so you can wash your hands-but that may be too much to expect.....

Unfortunately I've been looking for these improvements ever since I knew there is a drag strip in SA It doesn't look like there will be any more legal offstreet drag racing for the rest of this year

The police could not be too happy about adelaides only legal drag strip being out of action for too long. You would think they/government might be able to contribute to get the place operational considering alot of young hoons would now be doing it on the roads!!!!! (where else are they going to go). I beleive it would greatly reduce the amount of street racing in the long term.

Perhaps another way the gov can save lives on roads (besides buying another speed camera! -hehehehe) would be too build a couple of drag strips that are open to the public at very little cost. That way people could race in a controlled environment that is relatively safe and would keep them from doing it on the streets - as often. May be a little expensive at first to set up but then again in tradeoff how much is a life(s) worth? Surely it wouldnt cost too much to maintain a strip of road and a couple of safety marshalls -- charge 5 -10 bucks a run recover some of the costs.

Insurance is the killer for many sporting venues far less dangerous than motorsport.

So you'd leave the state just because the drag racing track timing system is being upgraded?!?!?

[9krpm]

Freebaggin, nah it's just the last straw on the descision scale.

Better work prospectus, better weather and drag racing 2x per week all year round. I have not given my definite answer yet but I am tipping QLD for now.

I am going to miss some great friends and people in SA. Hope to see you guys at the Jamboree and Indy.

9krpm, QLD and Gold Coast absolutely rocks. I would highly recommend the re-location. Have spent a few years there myself and loved it.
