That?s right it?s on, thanks to PMBC & SWMBC, we have joined forces to host this event, so with two clubs taking part in the organisation, logic suggests it should be twice as good. We have gotten permission from DEC to use a brand new new track that should be really fun and flowy to ride with a few technical bits.

Official practice and registration Sat 1st August 11:00am-4:00pm
Compulsory practice and registration Sunday 2nd August 8.00am-10.00am
Registration closes 9:00am Sun 2nd August (Late fees will apply)
Racing starts 10:30am finishes 3pm
Presentations 3:30pm

Cost:
Under 13s = No fees
Juniors (15s ? 17s) = $60
Under 19s = $70
Seniors (All categories) = $80
Includes *transport to top of hill (2 buses & 1 Troopie) on both days.

We realise this is a lot of money, but due to the remoteness of the track our costs to get everything there are increasing. Also, the hire costs of all the equipment is increasing?inflation hurts us all. Here is a breakdown of the basic costs to run a state event: Buses = $2750, 1st Aid = $1500, Toilets = $550, PA = $350?etc, and we want to give out cash prizes.

Providing own transport will not be allowed, nor will practicing outside the official practice times.
Accomodation: STRICTLY NO CAMPING AT THE RACE COURSE SITE.

Getting there:
From Perth head down South Western Highway until you are almost in Bunbury, you need to turn left onto Waterloo Rd (there?s a Gull Servo on the right). Follow Waterloo all the way to the end T-junction with Ferguson Road?turn left away from Dardanup. The bottom of the race track which is located driving on Ferguson Road away from Dardanup. After passing the Waterloo Rd drive about 6-7 kms, and then turn left yp a short hill (PMBC signs will be placed here). You follow that road for about 2kms and there is a clearing on the right side below a logged and reforested area where a few gravel fire roads intersect only 15 metres from the bitumen, and there is a grassy flat section. You should be able to see the race track from the main road because the colourful bunting will already be up along the track.

Hope to see you all there.
