|
|
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 _________________ I'm roadkill on the information superhighway....

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? _________________ "It's not clean until it’s SQUEAKER clean"

Letter of Authority supporting the proposal
from the Queensland Police Force.

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.
