Let's hope their plans go forward smoothly. We really need more motorsports parks in SA and I have been hoping for years that they would redevelop the Mitsubishi test site for that exact purpose.

I agree.
The guy who has bought it has enough money to set it up & it is full steam ahead.

Nice. The best part is that it's only half an hour's drive from my house! Beats driving two hours (and having to go through the city with a car trailer) to get to Mallala.

Been a bit delayed in the building but it looks like they are opening this up in a couple of months with a cycling event,
planning quite a few other circuit races in the next few months
but the drag strip is still about another year away after they open the place.

Good news we are getting more motorsport venues.

Was out the back of the wanneroo mx track recently and they were putting to the final touches on the circuit track for speedway solo/sidecar bikes.

Speedway solo bikes are finally returning to Perth. Should be running tests around Xmas.

Really looking forward to the first big drag racing event.

I think people will come from all over the country.
