1st ANNUAL GRAFTON MEGA VINTAGE SPEEDWAY SPECTACULAR
May 18th, 19th, 20th 2012
Well folks, this is it, it's nearly show time. This weekend it’s on!
At the time of this going to print we have 101 entrants who are bringing 118 cars and bikes from Australia, USA and New Zealand (Sprintcars, Super Modifieds, Speedcars/Midget, Compact Speedcars, GP Midgets and Sedans). Speedway bikes (Eso, Jawa, Weslake, GM bikes etc) and sidecars of nearly every discription - Vincent HRD, Kawasaki's Suzuki's etc.
What a fantastic event this promises to be, with both on and off track demonstrations on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Stars of the past will be there in numbers and the weather promises to be good. It's going to be HUGE!
Getting there:
The speedway is part of the Grafton Showground complex. The entry gate is in Prince Street, near the corner of Dobie Street, in Grafton. For those of you with a GPS, put in the address of 210 Prince Street Grafton NSW and let it do the rest (there is no 210, it is the entrance gate to the speedway). For those of you staying at the Crown Hotel, it is also in Prince Street Grafton although at the other end of the street.
Accommodation: Is still available at the Crown Hotel in Grafton. The Crown is the hub of our activities off the track and there are still rooms available. Call Pam or Sandy now on 02 6642 4000.
Track Times:
The times for on-track demonstrations are as follows:
Friday May 18th 2012 – 3:00pm to approximately 6:45pm. Drivers meeting at 2:30PM
Saturday May 19th 2012 – 10.00am to approximately 6:45pm Drivers meeting at 9:45AM
Sunday May 20th 2012 – 10.00am to approximately 1:30pm. Drivers meeting at 9:45AM
Presentations:
Presentations will be held on Saturday evening at the Crown Hotel commencing at 7:30pm. It will not be a formal affair, but will be attended by some local government officials including Councilor Richie Williamson (Mayor) and Councilor Craig Howe (Deputy Mayor), and representatives from our sponsors Ballina Powdercoating, Super Cheap Auto, and Donaldson Filtration Solutions.
The Big Breakfast:
On Sunday morning commencing at 8:00am is the big breakfast to be held at the track. Put on by the Lions Club, $5 will get a bacon & egg roll and a coffee. No need to nominate for this, just make sure you are there and get the right start to our closing day.
