ALBURY WODONGA & DISTRICTS CAR CLUB

New Circuit for Wagga Wagga

Hi Folks,

Just a quick update and looking for some help.

As some of you may have heard, there is a current proposal to build a New Race Track / Driver Training Centre in Wagga Wagga, NSW.

A map of the circuit is attached (best view) and below (a little small) .....a Nice 2.7 Kilometre Circuit running Clockwise with 4 left turns and 4 rights...

Some of you may or may not be also be aware that this Circuit is being built by: current, Period 5 Unlimited and Period 3 500, Historic Motorcycle Racer, Mick Neason and his business partner Phil Andrea.

The land is purchased, and providing it all gets through council OK in the next few months, Mick is planning on having the circuit open and running in about 2 years.

At this point the planning permits are with the Wagga Wagga City Council and they are asking for comments etc,’as the planning permits are out on display for public comments... this is where you folks all come in.

Of course as always when it comes to these things there will always be a few objectors in the area, and it’s the plan of the local car club to submit a national petition to the council later this month..

Below you find a link to the petition that will be submitted to the Wagga Wagga council, please go to the website if you desire and complete the petition, please note the closing date is 10 May 2012, so you’ll need to get onto this at your earliest convenience, off course you can be semi anonymous if you like , but the more information you provide the better it looks to council..

You’ll find the sign up page here:

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/da11-0625-motor-racing-track-driver-training-centre/sign.html

The full detail of the petition can be found here:

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/da11-0625-motor-racing-track-driver-training-centre.html

Those that have already signed the petition here:

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/da11-0625-motor-racing-track-driver-training-centre/signatures.html

As another option, attached is a overview of a letter you could modify fill in your details, print it out and send ....to the Wagga Wagga City Council.

If you think this is a worthy cause, I implore you to get behind this petition, Send it to your friends and get them involved

Please forward this emails to as many of your interested friends as you think, Post it on relevant Web Discussion Boards etc

Also here is an article from the Wagga Daily Advertiser.

Hope this finds you all well.

Regards To All.

20th May 2012 - AWDCC & NECC Motorkhana

For our May motorkhana, we will join the North Eastern Car Club at their Tarrawingee club rooms.

NECC

The event is on 20th May, documentation from 9am.

The event will be held under a CAMS permit, so AASA licenses aren’t accepted.

The NECC run a very efficient and well organised event, while being relaxed and family friendly.

BBQ lunch will be available. Tarrawingee is approximately 80km from Wodonga, on the Great Alpine Rd.

The clubrooms are at the Eastern end of the ‘main road’ through town, just past the golf club.

Supp regs and entry forms are available (or will be soon!) on the NECC website


 
THE ITALIAN CONNECTION RALLY

Dear AWDCC members

Our club is assisting in the organisation and events for the Italian Connection Trophy, being held from Friday 25th May to Sunday 27th May.

The first leg of their event starts on Friday morning from QE Square in Dean St. They are putting on bacon and egg rolls for breakfast,

so please bring your car out to see them off.


 

As part of the event, we have secured the opportunity to showcase our club to the Albury-Wodonga community in a very public way. We are running a motorkhana for the ICT in the Albury Swimming Pool carpark on Sunday afternoon.

Prior to the ICT motorkhana, we will hold our own motorkhana, and join in the ICT’s show’n’shine.

Entry fee for the motorkhana is just $5, and we will get at least two runs at the test. Great value! When we’ve finished competing, I want all cars (even grubby ones like mine) parked on the grass for the public to see.


 

The motorkhana is on bitumen and I have set it up to be quite spectacular for drivers and spectators.

I would like to see as many cars out as possible, we’ll start from about 12pm, the ICT boys have pizzas being cooked in the community oven for lunch.

 

See below for more info from the ICT organisers

 

Thanks, Simon
