Marcus89 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I wonder how many of those workers did a few final hotlaps... Would be abnormal not to if you ask me. I'm a QLDer so don't really have a close connection to the track but to see any track closed sucks. Are they making another as a replacement?

DRD-00F Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Yes and no... mostly no unless you decide to race illegally around the housing estate that's going up...

Duncan Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 this thread can't die yet! Paul, Pete and Mark would remember this day....and where is Toulia these days? skyline ran out of tyres so I had to grab the "t-car" for the race. my race car debuted at oran park, the day after I got it from the boat. and thus began my long romance with engine rebuilds Kel did her first standing start race there....and dished out chop chop on scott! Marks car at OP (RIP, the car and the track but not the bloke) from absolute years ago......proof my car even without a rear windscreen is quicker than john's z day night race meets....I did 2 of them there, they were the best races I ever did. recently zooming at suttons even the march got to run there before it was too late I only ever hit the scenery there once, took a mirror off the daewoo on the milk sign. I had some decent crashes there back in the woo days but they were all car on car. actually here is one of them - I tried to get thru turn 1 flat 2 wide (fail) lap 1, then on the next lap after the safety car I got thru turn 1 flat but the car in front did not. http://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/woocrash.wmv. Not my best crash there, the best one was when I managed to hit 3 sides of the same car in a single crash at the last turn. I've got a funny vid or 2 to come but need to rip in from dv first....

Swiper the Fox Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 even got some shots of TWO.06L going around in the early days somewhere. That was before Stacey took it drag racing and removed the steering wheel and middle pedal. Dunc's that night shot is a cracker! Used to go there with my dad back in the Group C and Group A days. Oran Park was the first track i ever ran a full bodied car on. Ahh you guys must feel awful looking at those shots...very sad indeed.

Chris-06R Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I think I should post up a few photos of OP - Lest we forget Flip flop, dogleg, call it what you will but it was a thing of beauty... Home to flying GTRs flying Civics.... (I believe his Vtec has just kicked in...yo) upside down Evos... and upside down Imps... It looked great by day, and by night was a place where screaming Rotaries and cows co-existed peacefully and nature framed the track It made you look like a hero when you got it right Nipped you for the slightest error and bit hard when you really stuffed up... Whether it was sideways over the bridge by day, or straight-lining it over the dogleg at night There was nowhere quite like Oran Park. RIP.
