The CEO of the Royal National Capital Agricultural Society, Geoff Cannock,

"The Government remains committed to a dragway and has shown that commitment
by allocating $8 million in capital funding for the project.

"The construction of a dragway is a significant undertaking. The Dragway
Advisory Committee will help work through issues including the
appropriateness of a site in the Majura Valley, and help ensure that all
factors, including noise and other environmental considerations, are
properly considered.

participate in this important process."
