Truck Racing
This form of racing evolved with a few enthusiasts wanting to race trucks on the Bitumen. They have managed to "Tame them down" by modifications and the racing is very hard, and a great crowd pleaser. You can "Race what you bring" in this class as long as it is a TRUCK or BUGGY. Top speed - maybe 60 kph. We run races for trucks/buggies at the beginning & end of the day.
Race Duration
Normal Race meetings are run with several races in each classes run.Various timed heats raced for 2008 .We are trying some different formats this year.Currently trialling 2 X 5 minute heats & a final of 15-20 minutes for each car class.
