Improved Production Nationals 29-30sept

[hrd-hr30]

The Improved Production Nationals are on at Morgan Park Warwick next weekend. Included in some of the high quality cars coming up from down south are at least two of the best GTRs running around. One driven by Dave Loftus and the other by John Boston. They're extremely well built cars and definitely worth coming to see. I'll be there on Sunday to see if my mate's track record gets done by the interstate GTRs!

So if you want to see 2 or 3 GTRs out the front of a field again like the good old days of Group A racing and this pic from the last NSW IPRA round get out to Warwick and check it out!

how much is entry and how far from brisbane is it??

[r33_racer]

warwick is about 2hrs roughly from brissy. Funny cause the qr state champs are on also at qr same date. I would love to go and see the gtrs race, hopefully someone will get some video footage.

I dont know how to get there, But im keen as... is that the warick like 130kms past ipswich?

[Reggi34dr]

I have that weekend off so if I remember I might go for a drive and have a look-see.

Harry, which would be the best day to go to watch most of the racing?

that's right. its about a 2hr drive from brisbane. Just keep going on the highway past QR/Willowbank and that will take you straight into Warwick. There are permanent big Green signs on the roadside directing you to Morgan Park Raceway - you go through Warwick and pretty much out the other side of the town towards Stanthorpe before you see the sign directing you to Morgan Park

I can't find any info on gate costs or a race program, but from experience, qualifying will be on Saturday morning and most of the races including the final will be on Sunday. They're running a Top 10 shootout on Saturday afternoon for the Top 10 in both over and under 2L classes, so that might be worth watching too. I'd expect gate cost to be about $30? I'll see if I can find out more.

The QLD IPRA Nationals page doesn't have much info at all...

Only 50 minutes for me. HMMMM. What day you racing Mike??

[GTRgeoff]

I say we go!!!!!!

Hell Yeah!!

Might even catch up with SK, unless he is helping Mike make the pig handle

[Reggi34dr]

will SK be there?!

if he is, I wonder if he'll mind if I put an order in for some swaybars?

[BAMR33]

I'm there!

[GTRgeoff]

Road Trip!!!!!

[hrd-hr30]

Road Trip!!!!!

I'd be up for that. I'll be heading out there on the Sunday if anyone want to meet up for the drive?

I've only got a diesel Patrol at the moment though, so you might have to wait for me to catch up after Cunningham's Gap! :lol actually, I'm not joking - it ain't fast up hills... but I'm negotiating with a guy about a Skyline in Melbourne at the moment though, and there's a slight possibility it might be here in time if all goes well
