Old Airport At Pelican (newcastle)

Yeah the motorplex planned for just north of the terrace got canned.

The way council, cops, rta, neighbours are to these sorts of sites and urban sprawl nowadays, you would have to consider having a track somewhere between cessnock and singleton or southwest past central mangrove. Newcastle is way too small to accommadate such a facility nowadays. Too many objections from too many negative people im afraid.

Exactly what I thought..............

Council wouldnt approve it, they'd rather see all us 'car hoon' off the road rather than give us a facility to use.

I'm so depressed at the whole car scene at the moment, it feels like your constantly trying to get blood from a stone.

Suit a texi style event?

It would be a good spot Stevo, But all the concrete is uneven and would cause more dramas i think. Unless it has been repaired. ????

I think it has come time that someone need's to say that Newcastle is just a SH&T hole and there will never be any driving parks or facilities to accomodate the racing enthusiast.

Going of past dealing's with necknock council and the motorplex plans, a driving park will never happen in newcastle no matter how many people are behind it.

There probably is only 1 way to do it and that is to buy private land somewhere and build a dedicated " Driveway" with no consideration for the neighbours and noise complaints. HEHE.

Look what happened to the doughnut pad up at the newcastle speedway went bye bye. Obviously the poeple of newcastle and outer region's do not want any thing of this nature to be any where near there city cause they will constantly be complaining of the nuisance that us driving enthusiast will be creating and that's is why all the majour track's are in sydney.

Why am i so negitave??

For the most part it would, problem is it's still classed as a public road and there's nearly always boaties down there launching boats off trailers, i'll have a chat to a mate of mine who works for the RTA and see how we can go about it.

The only pictures i've got are ones i've taken of cars down at the site so bear with me on this one...

(my runaround)

I can go out and take pictures early next week for a better idea of scale.
