Default Members in cairns/townsville area

Am looking to see if there are any members in the cairns townville area.

I am looking to find a place to do a 1/4 mile run.

Howdy nashi, im in townsville, and would be keen to go for a race.
The bohle dragway has test and tune sessions every saturday night (i think).
From memory its about 20 bucks to race all night.

That sounds about right. no where legal to do it in cairns but is a good night if you go to townsville with some mates and cars. Used to do it when I lived up there and cause strip is about half hour on the north side of townsville it doesnt seem to take to long to get there from cairns still about 3 hours but makes for a good night we used to drive back the same night.

It could have very well been me. I have noticed that there aren't too many of the vixen red xr6's round up here. I am usually around the kirwan area as we are just off Kern Bros drive.

I would love to do a night at the bohle. It would be great to see what my baby can do!

Mick's got a Clubby (VTII I think?) with a bit of work done to it.
There are some quick HSVs/LS1s floating around, and most of them are in the local HSV club. Be wary... I haven't seen a BOSS V8 get anywhere near any of them. There's not many stock cars in the club.
And they're not shy of having a run either.

There were two XR6T utes that used to give them a slapping every now and then. (Now there's only one, I traded mine ;))
