They seem to be keeping it very low profile in the press release and might be trying to go under the radar releasing it at this time of the year.

This is good news. NSW really needs another permenant raceway.

This is where the track is going to be located. Wokolena road is pretty much the boundary, has up to 60metres elevation in some parts:

I know a fair bit about whats going on with the track.

They want 10,000 car parks.
Lindsay Fox is getting behind it.
Council is really keen on it.
Its going to be able to hold everything bar F1 and motogp
Open 363 days a year
Skidpan, circuit, and drag strip, they are pushing for 1/4 mile
Alot of the paper work is sorted out.
They want to do it properly the first time, and make sure that it is set up for expansion in the future

This will be a great thing for Wagga, and also new south wales.

from StreetView it looks like a great place for a track, makes a nice natural amphitheatre.

Move Wagga a few hundred k's north and it would be better, good luck to them anyway.

5hrs drive from Sydney, but closer than Phillip Island and Winton.

Brilliant work if it does happen. Hasn't been the same in NSW since Oran Park went

Will be good for canberra guys and wagga of course, probably wont see much from sydney. Any new track is a good thing though.

I'll be a very happy man if it includes a drag strip, don't care if it's 1/8 or 1/4mile, just as long as it's not a shared circuit arangement like ECR was. If they build a dragstrip they will get plenty of racers. For example the drags at Narrandera was always popular and it was on an airfield, the drags at Wilby is very popular and it's the most bush/backwards track you've ever seen - yet they'll get 80 cars or more to a meeting.

What's the bet that Gary Myers will be talking to the organisers already about running a Gazzanats there?

Considering the cars down here in the Riverina/Upper murray/Border region, this will fuckin' rock!

Even further south.

I reckon this can only be a good thing

I really hope they get this right big time
