UPDATE - PROPOSED NEW DRAG STRIP

Posted: June 4 2010 - From Bob Wilton, Track Coordinator.

The paperwork side of things is coming along well, and we have given our first presentation to the council, which had a very positive outcome with unanimous support for the project.

The next step is funding. We have an appointment with Council on the 2nd of June to do another presentation to see if they are prepared to fund some of our project. We will know their decision in early July. After we know whether we have funding from the Council then we will start approaching other possible funders.

We have had several quotes from different organisations, and so far have come in under our $3 million dollar budget. MMP is also trying to do its own fundraising with the sale of Pit spaces for racers and sponsors. There will also be opportunities for naming sponsors, lane sponsors and some more block sponsorship options.

We look forward to your support in the future and watch this space!!

For more information please contact Bob Wilton on 06 377 3803 or Tracey Cooper on 06 370 1291

THE END OF AN ERA!

Thats right - the last official race meeting for the Hood Aerodrome has come and gone. Not exactly a thrilling prospect, but the final bash was a stunner, thanks to Bob and the team.

Thank you to all of our racers, spectator, supporters, and our loyal sponsors for your ongoing support over the past 12 years. As you may be aware, we are in the process of working on a NEW drag strip - stay tuned for updates!
