August 26/27, Morgan Park Raceway Warwick
The Queensland Motor Racing Championships are coming to Morgan Park on the last weekend in August, with red-hot racing guaranteed.
Entries are now open, with competitors from as far and wide as Western Australia and New Zealand expected to make the trip to Warwick for the event.
Ten classes will take to the track over two days, taking part in a total of over 40 races and qualifying on Saturday morning.
There will be something for everyone, with classes including the big banging Sports Sedans, the variety of Improved Production, Sports Cars and Historic Tourers, the biff and barge of Geminis, HQs and Saloon Cars, and the open wheel excitement of Racing Cars, Formula Vees and Superkarts.
Chris Donnelly, president of the promoting club, the Queensland Racing Drivers Association, is looking forward to another big entry of competitors.
“Queensland's motorsport competitors love coming out to Warwick, and
the wonderful Morgan Park facility, it really is a credit to the local
area and the hard working Warwick District Sporting Car Club,” said Mr
Donnelly.
“The facilities are always improving, and I'm certain we will have a big field of cars putting on a great show for the crowd.”
Mr Donnelly also highlighted the significance of the event to the local economy.
“Already it is becoming hard to get accommodation in the region on the
last weekend in August, and the town always comes alive on Saturday
night with a couple thousand out of town rev heads filling the clubs
and pubs.”
Entry forms are available on QRDA website, www.qrda.asn.au, with discount incentives of up to $35 available for early entry and for QRDA members.
