As long as it has nothing to do with these muppets...

http://www.pimm.org/news.html

And more of the pipedream racetrack that got punted around from proposed venue to proposed venue....

http://www.etracksonline.co.uk/News/...ews_id139.html

Genuinely hope this isnt more of the same.

One of our crew members is a long term Pinjarra resident and quite often has dinner with a council member, who has been over to Adelaide for the V8s and other motoring events over east and realises it will bring money to the area and he’s a old revhead. The council were behind the Murray Auto Xtravaganza which will be an annual event. So I am led to believe they want it to happen and there is land available, so fingers crossed.

If believe it when they start throwing $$$ at the project. Until that happens its just another pipedream.

Funny people complain about the noise and lack of space, yet we are the biggest state in aus.... Just a thought.

Stupid shithead government.

Have heard several murmmers about Pinjarra. Either way we will eventually get something.

My mate attended the Race Day at Barba's with Mark Webber and he said it was terrible, that anyone not interested in motor racing but came for a look will likely never want to see motor racing again!

Whatever gets done must be done well

If it does happen, it's in one of the fastest developing/expanding areas in Australia isn't it?
It's surely only a matter of (not a lot) of time before the facility is surrounded by houses, then watch the noise complaints et al start up. Can't see it happening myself, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

I live across the road (literally) from what was Claremont Speedway. It was a tradgedy when it was closed. I sorely miss it (not that it was noise complaints that killed it).

Noise complaints killed the old dragstrip at Ravenswood if I recall.
