Hillside4Phil Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Have been searching for information of what time the racing starts and finishes on Saturday and Sunday, I have the dates whis is this weekend but the news stories say that there is an offical opening at 3pm on Saturday that is all. I went to the racing 18 months or so ago and I did enjoy the afternoon but night time racing would be interesting to see. There was an old thread and apologise for starting a new one but the other one was 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rideswings Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was out there today and was told racing starts at 8pm but I am going to double check that. It seems a bit late but they said it was night racing for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjhbigv Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Definitely on and definitely night racing this time. Worth going, especially if they have a few 'girl soap stars' driving again in the 'one make Lady Race'.....talk about bad driving! More like bumper cars, not sure they know where the brake pedal is!

I think you comments are out of place as they paid good money for their licenses, little more respect for the wanna-be-elites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
