DETAILS:
Did you know there were another five motor racing circuits in the Sydney area? Did I hear no? Then join Ken and Maggie as they take you down memory lane to visit three of them (or what's left of them) between Parramatta and the Blue Mountains. This will be a long but great day.

RSVP: None required just turn up

LENGTH OF RUN: Approximately 130klms

Right. So far not planning on being hungover or interstate or anything. Plus it's relatively close to home. I'll say tentatively yes

OOHHHH. this might be my first run with forumites... not working that sunday.. yesssss

Out of interest, what are the five 'other' NSW racetracks?

I've got:

• Amaroo Park

• Catalina Raceway

• Paramatta Raceway

And then there was (I think)

• Mt Druit ?

and

• ????

plus Schofields Airstrip, Silverdale Hillclimb, and the very early circuit that lies under the childrens detention centre near Penrith...

I'm in for sure guys, car is all fixed now and would love to come!

You all have forgotten Warwick Farm.

Hope there is a big roll up for this one. Ken has gone to a lot of trouble setting this out. Unfortunately I’ll be at Eastern Creek for the third round of the State Supersprints and my first time at the Creek.

Who could forget the 1969 Formula One race with Jochen Rindt in the Lotus 49B and his masterly display in the wet at the Farm, being chase by Hill, Amon and Bell?

out of curiousity, how many people/mx5's rock up on cruises like these?

We usually always get 18-20 vehicles on a run but have also had up to 40 cars. Come along it will be a great day. You won't be disappointed Ken has spent a lot of time and effort on this run and will give everyone a map and history on each track we visit.

Although it may not be a track with corners, there is also the old Castlereagh Drag Strip.

oh no... the rspca have their huge dog walk the same day...... what to do, what to do....

the dog should be fine, let him go on his own and come driving

He can always run after the 5!

No longer have a dog, so I should be able to make it to this one.

See you guys there

yeah, just hand him the leash and let him walk himself! haha he'd probably make 1/4 of the length of the run because he's a husky
