From all reports Townsville looks like an absolute cracker - and for once we seem to have an interesting new circuit.

No runoff worth the name, and concrete walls as far as the eye can see in some sections. To my eyes, that final sector looks awfully narrow since it's been lined with concrete walls.
The view from the grassy mounds on the back section of the circuit should be pretty good! |

This circuit is a cracka, we will see some great racing here. The final section is definitely not for the faint hearted but passing opportunities exist. Weather will be fine and dandy, bring your shorts to the sunny north. Of interest in that the local Rotary club is raffling of the HSV course car being used for this round, the first in town. $100.00 buys a ticket 2000 sold only and the proceeds to The V8 supercar charity of Camp Quality. Car will have a certificate of authenticity attached. I believe this donated by Tony Ireland Holden. Bring your cash and take home a piece of Townsville history. Visit www.2000to1.com.au.

From what I can see of the track, the pit entry road would be one of the longest going around. I doubt you are going to see quick pit stops?

Dumbrell
Not looking good for Dumbrell, appendix maybe? Off to the hospital today.
Is there a co driver in town? |

Made it!
Had a couple of days lounging on the reef. Spent today by the pool at Dunk Island. Off to Townsville tomorrow. Bring it on! |

lucky **** AP.
not good for Dumbrell, lets hope it's not as bad as MS at Sandown a few years back and they don't have to call Tony Longhurst in. |

If Dumbrell is a no show, WP enduro driver Shane Price is in Townsville. I think in fairness to Longhurst, he was asked 2 days before the race and wouldn't have had any time mentally or physically to prepare.
