AROCA sprints @ Broadford - 22nd July

Postby Guran » Sat Jun 16, 2012 7:03 pm

Just received an email from Neil with invitation to AROCA's trackday at Broadford on 22nd July. I'd love to drive that track someday but the date clashes with a NSW Supersprint on the Saturday. Any reason why this doesn't seem to be on MX-5 Club of Victoria calendar? The awards lunch is pencilled in for that day.

A few of us would love to run broadford, and were excited when Neil mentioned doing one.
However as luck would have it, its on the same day as our awards...doh!

So tempted but so far away for me. We've been talking about doing a Broadford event for years. I remember Sam mentioned the possibility of one there his captaincy. Actually I thought we' had done one there in about 2003 or 2004 but I can't find it in the history.

Great track. I was there on Monday testing my car against the FT86, BMW 135, Renault Megane RS250 and Hyundai Veloster. I had a fantastic time!!!

If I'm free I might try and pop in and say hi.

I've never been to the Broadford track, even though I used to live only 20mins away!
