All Performance Challenge announced alongside ’Superkruise’

Those familiar with the Heathcote Park All Performance Challenge - which is held in November each year - will be pleased to hear that the weekend has now been extended with a 2.4km ‘Superkruise’ course laid out amongst plenty of car-related activity for crowds to enjoy on the Sunday and live entertainment for the campers on the Saturday night.

The All Performance Challenge is one of the largest events on the Heathcote Park annual calendar and attracts a competitive field of almost 150 cars and bikes. As a DYO or dial-your-own race day, the competition is wide open and literally anyone in attendance can walk away with the top prize. Action will kick off on Friday Nov 11 with a Test n Tune session, running all day Saturday and Sunday.

This year’s event will offer a substantial prize purse of $10,000.00!

This has been a popular request as it offers a transparent arrangement for racers and the opportunity to win a little more than expected. “Increasing the prize purse in recent years has been one of the more popular things we’ve done,” said Russell Clarke, venue owner. “I think people can see that we’re doing the right thing by them and providing them with some fun at a pretty low cost.”

Held on the Bendigo Swap Meet weekend, there’s always a huge range of people, cars and bikes at the venue and this year is expected to produce another bumper crop. In addition to all of the usual Drag Racing activity, the Heathcote Park team will set up a cruise course which runs down the drag strip and back along the return road – looping through the Staging Complex. Enthusiasts will be able to kruise the course, enjoy a skid and immerse themselves in a world of all things automotive.

“There will be all sorts of stands and stalls scattered right throughout the venue, and of course plenty of cars and automobilia on display as well. People will be encouraged to drive the course and simply pull over in designated areas to get out and look at the different displays and attractions,” said Dean Mesh, general manager for Heathcote Park.

“Onsite camping is a real plus for us on these weekends, and in November it’s great weather to be outdoors, particularly in the evenings. This year’s event should be the biggest one yet.”

Trade stalls and sites booked in advance are available FREE OF CHARGE to encourage a real diversity amongst the offerings, everything from mobile phone accessories to car parts will be on display and up for sale. Those wishing to participate need only pay the standard spectator admission price, a limited number of powered sites are available for a small fee.

Tickets and race registrations are available at the gate. A comprehensive Schedule will be released online in the coming days.

Heathcote Park Raceway is Victoria’s leading regional motorsport facility located just 25km south of Bendigo, off the McIvor Highway. Built in 1975 the venue has hosted some of Australia’s largest Drag Racing events and features one of the oldest and longest Quarter Mile Drag Strips in the country, as well as a championship length Quarter Mile Speedway Complex, a 2.3km Off Road Racing Complex, dual lane Mud Racing Course, MotoX Complex and comprehensive Pit, Garaging and Camping facilities.

Heathcote drags have been canceled this weekend according to their website due to track work. I guess my attempt at a 10 will have to wait until next year

Good luck. Probably try Calder park instead of Heathcote as they will be repairing the track and might take a while.

Also, seen your car (video), looks nuts. Good work.

Thanks for that.

Calder will kick me off as I don't have a cage yet if I run the times I'm hoping for.

Heathcote have planed a test and tune for 2nd dec so work must be going to take very long, but you would want to wait a few meets to get some good rubber down on the track
