A few of the qld quarter scalers were invited to run a display on saturday night the 8/12/12 at toowomba on the junior midget track during track prep during the meeting and after the event. With good reponses and a super grippy clay track ( man they were fast) . i can see the club running a few events up there in the future. Well done to all who travelled to the track on saturday night. Our baja parts supplier even towed his van up there to put on display. With all the spare he carries in the van the only part he didn't have was a spare brake drum for his van that broke the wheel studs on the way up there. brisbane to toowoomba took about 5 hours but hey we still made it. Cheers Ron Williams

Hi Ron, we are looking at running on a similar setup here in NZ, on an inner track at speedway...Do you know what the length of the track ended up being and did you have to modify your gearing ratio heaps? Cheers Dwayne
