Lakeside Classic Speed Fest. Australian Trans-Am Championship, Round 4

Lakeside Park – Lakeside Road, Kurwongbah. (Lakeside Park is also only 10 minutes walk from Dakabin railway station)

Many Queensland motor-racing fans will remember round four of the Australian Touring Car Championship at Lakeside in April 1991, when Richards planted the Skyline on poll and went on to blitz the field. Richards and team mate Mark Skaife crossed the line for a one/two finish, with Richards lapping the entire field up to fifth position!


The two mighty “Godzillas” will also be driven by their current owners in the Group A & C touring car race category at the Lakeside Classic Speed Fest, giving fans a chance to see the infamous machines in all their glory once again.
Other touring car classes to take you back in time include Group N and the ever-popular Australian Trans Am Championship. Group N will see titanic tussles between Aussie legends such as Falcon GTs, XU1 Torana's, Ford Escorts and Holden Monaro's, while the Trans Am series unleashes the fattest group of American muscle this side of Detroit.

Entry is $20 Saturday, $20 Sunday, $30 weekend pass, children 12 and under free, students 13-16 and pensioners $10 each day, payable at the gate

The Lakeside Classic Speed Fest also features trade stalls, the Shannons Super Rig and the Queensland Motorsport Museum.

Fighting for the rights of all Motorcyclists, Road Transport Operators, Farmers, Small Businessmen, and in general those who believe that it is past time that the common man finally had a true representative in Canberra.

We need, Genuine Australian wide one set of road laws with one interpretation. We live in one country, not six sovereign states.

A real enquiry into the safety of Wire Rope Barriers, I challenge any State Government to show their research on the interaction of WRB's and Motorcyclists. Genuine representation for Motorcyclists. Almost 25% of Licensed Queensland motorists have motorcycle licence, yet they tell us repeatedly we are only 3% of road users.

Government must accept and implement the will of the people. An inquiry into a Bill of Rights called for its introduction yet Labor said no bill of rights though they are required via their membership of the Socialist International to work to enshrining this in law

Transport operators need to be recognised for the outstanding and often difficult job they do, with a fair return on investment.

Farmers need to be guaranteed the right to farm won’t be affected without just compensation, no being overrun by the miners ripping the heart out of quality farming land.

Prison Reform all the majors want to increase punishment, because that’s what they think we want. What we need is Rehabilitation that works. We have one of the highest reoffending rates in the world this needs to be reduced. Stop reoffending should be the number 1 priority of all law and order campaigners.

Small Businesses as a group are the largest single employer group; they need to be looked after by Government not ignored.

Russell Wattie is a biker and is fighting for our rights and the rights of all motorcyclists, road transport operators, farmers, small business owners and those that have had enough and want a real bloke in Canberra.
