Calling For Interest Happy Laps at Queensland Raceway

[josh182]

After discussions with some of the guys organising LP Happy Laps & monthly meets, I am seekning feedback regarding interest to have a round of Happy Laps at Queensland Raceway.

QR is located 17km and about 20 minutes west of Ipswich for those who are unaware of the track. Being a different track would give a bit of variety for Happy Laps events. While the track is not as interesting as Lakeside Park - it is relatively flat, which is a bonus for spectators being able to see the whole track from anywhere track-side - there are more “run-off” areas, making it a little safer in terms of not having walls etc as close to the track. At first look, it may appear to be less demanding than Lakeside, but as most people who have driven there soon realise, there are technicalities to the track which can be challenging. The track has recently been resurfaced.

I am able to book a date for Happy Laps on 21st April, but this is too close to the 29th Happy Laps event team V has already arranged at Lakeside Park, so along with feedback regarding your interest (or lack of) for an event at QR, please give suggestions on suitable dates. I have obtained the necessary docos needed & we could potentially look at a date in May, depending of course on the amount of interest generated.

KEEN KEEN KEEN!!!! im there mate, i love the flat track as you can see where everyone else is, in relation to dates. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND AS MANY AS YOU CAN.LOL its good to see we are all amping up our motoring enthusiasm and using our cars the way they should be.

Count me in too. I probably couldn't on the 21st due to moving house the prior weekend. And my experience of QR is exactly what mikk said. You might get another 10km/h down the front straight but more Tyre wear so street tyres will go off after 5 hard laps so have a cool down lap every few.

You are correct about the QR calendar, but I did not make a definite booking for that date - that was just the date they quoted to me as the next available. It's too close to the Lakeside Park event (29th) in any case. I'll sort it out tomorrow and post a date Monday night.

Thanks for checking that out!

Bear in mind the calendar is usually not updated as the last 2 times we weren't even on it for Lakeside.

Wil be keeping an eye out tonight!

Yeah I'm keen for this.

cool. thanks for organising.

personally LS is an enjoyable track but i just don't feel safe enough to push too hard.

but only doing QR is toooooo boring. a mix would be excellent.

Redline, not too sure on making that date but I am definetly interested in other days/venues

Anything on a Saturday would be awesome. Working Sundays sucks.
