STREET MEETS
Street Legal Meets are held almost every other Saturday night during the year. If you have ever wanted to put the pedal to the metal just to see what your car and you can do
then these Street Meets provide ample opportunities.
The cost is just $28 to race, paid at the gate on the day and for that you can have as many runs as you like. There is a time card given for each pass you do and you can run to improve your personal best time or beat the one in the other Lane. You can even challenge a mate. Gates open at 7pm racing 7.30pm. Passengers or Spectators pay $10. These are a No Alcohol event
To get you racing you need to have an approved crash helmet and clothing covering limbs as well as enclosed footwear. The driver must provide proof that a driving license has been held. Learners Permit is not sufficient. You are allowed a passenger who must also meet the same requirements. Whenever you have a passenger on board you are only permitted solo runs. That is nobody in the other lane. There must always be a maximum of two persons in any race whether they are in the same car or separate vehicles.
Your vehicle must pass an observation checklist through Scrutineering. This includes tread on the tyres, intact windscreen, radiator overflow bottle, and very important working tail lights so we can see when you turn off the track. Remember you are almost a kilometre from the startline. Tail-shaft loops are highly recommended.
Group Concessions : If you belong to a social or sporting Club then Street Meets may provide a novel outing for your group. A Group Booking for 20 or more racers gives a generous discount. These bookings must be arranged and paid for by the Wednesday before the Event. Give us a call for more information.
