strutto Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Calling all SAU Gold Coast residents! Drag Combat is on Saturday 21 February at Willowbank Raceway. I was thinking we should meet up somewhere early in the day and cruise up as a group. How does BP Coomera @ 8.30am for 9am departure sound? Anybody reckon we should leave earlier? The cost to spectate is $30. So start saving now. FREE parking is available or you can pay $8 for "premier" parking. It will be a full day event. I believe the gates open at 8am with racing finishing around 4-5pm. Last years Drag Combat was awesome... Don't miss it this year!

yoparata Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 i'm in it, last year was so packed, just abit dissapointed from the short cut we've taken through the back, cause when i got home and opened the bonnet all i could see is RED sand. i will definitely will pay the $8 prem parking that would be cool to see all our crs parked next to each other, would be the biggest attraction there........Yeee Ha... :headspin: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33719-gold-coast-to-drag-combat-adventure/#findComment-676288 Share on other sites More sharing options...
unwritten law Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 i am in for a team //GC cooze from coomera... I paid for parking at jamboree '02 and had my car broken into (my old car 82 corolla), so dont think that $8 will make it secure....

predator Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Why just gold coast residences ? Are you guys competing or just watching? I'll come down I guess .. may as well come the long way and meet you guys at Coomera Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/33719-gold-coast-to-drag-combat-adventure/#findComment-678001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
strutto Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 Pred: Cause Brisbane residents are weird Just kidding! Your more than welcome to come as well as any other Brissy residents. I just figured most of the Brissy people would come out Ipswich Rd rather than backtracking down the M1. Maybe we should stop at Redbank plaza and meet up with Brissy guys before continuing along to Willowbank?

NismoGirl Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 The $8 premier parking isn't worth it. It's no different to the normal parking except it's on the other side of the fence and the thieves don't have to walk as far. I dont think I'll be taking my car out. We'll take brutis out I think.

strutto Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 I've never had a problem at Willowbank... But that's hardly a guarantee...

51jay Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Yeah heat can be a bit of a bummer......but a bit of prep time makes all the diff, big sunshade, lightweight seat, sunblock and a couple of eskies full of ice and cold drinks in the boot ...... think of the poor competitors in the staging lanes !!! and finally....this IS Queensland. .....
