The Springmount Drag Racing Association has lodged an application with council for the construction of a drag strip on the Atherton Tablelands, they are in the process of fore filling supplementary information requirements, which council has requested. Club Delegates have met with council in the lead up to this happening with the outlook being positive, as you can imagine with a project of this size there has/is a lot of regulatory paperwork which has to be done.

Which is good news, as some local motorsport is a good thing!

Updates are being posted at : http://www.springmountdragracing.com/

There is also a thread over at QSS if you don't mind filtering the crap out... http://www.qldstreetscene.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12884&st=60

They will also be at the swap meet and warbirds, they are chasing members who are willing to sign up and show that the support is out there, so if you are willing (Iknow I am) grab a form and show some support.
Cheers Neil
Ps also want peoples opinion on whether the club should maybe donate some funds or try and organise a fundraiser for them or a working bee or what do people think?

Come along to the next meeting if you like.. Or i'll put you in contact with bruno and you can talk about what is needed.. But there is talk of a meet & greet day, perhaps we can work in with this?

I'm getting there with the website, but like everything else.. its only something for my spare time.. *cough*

I'm looking forward to only having to drive 10 mins down the road for a race track tho.. Smile

Laughing beats him about the head until he falls to the ground, pours avgas on him sets him alight waits till he burns down to nothing then watches as his ashes blow away in the breeze. Shocked Dam your violent, at Least it's up and going again now, you did well, just goes to show you can't trust anyone in the I.T industry Confused

The site is up and running again check it out, new nostalgia photo section in the gallery photos courtesy of one of the new members.

Hello Members of the Springmount Drag Racing Association.



GOOD NEWS



We have had verbal approval from the Council today at their planning meeting.



We should receive the written approval within the next 2-5 working days. I would personally like to thank everyone who has helped in getting this to fruition.



Once we receive the written approval; we will be undertaking the following actions.



Finalisation of the lease agreement.

Letter of Authority supporting the proposal

from the Queensland Police Force.

Funding Proposals.

Organisational development and planning.

Expression of interest for ANDRA Approval.

Detailed project plan, including costings.

We have our approval from Council



We will continue to keep members informed of the progress, however if you have any enquiries or concerns; please EMAIL the Springmount Drag Racing Association via our Contacts Page on the Web Site.



We ask that no one contact the council as all correspondence between the Tablelands Regional Council and Springmount Drag Racing Association is the responsibility of the Executive Committee.


The Club will be holding an open forum to discuss the details in the not to distant future.



Please keep watching for details



Regards

Bruno Fegatilli - ( Club President )
