Geelong Speed Trials November 15 & 16 2003

Has anyone ever been to this event?

Is it just a glorified drag run for vintage cars or is it something else?

I have never been, but friends have gone to it and particioated.

I gather that its a glorified drag run with a kink in it. Glorious old cars (depends on your definition of old) and drivers have a thrash in usually brilliant weather.

Family/Life partner friendly as well rather than just have them turn up to a cold bleak track and have them become "racing widows" or "racing orphans".

Must get around to going one year.

RIP Bib Stilwell and Lou Molina.

Any S2k/ITR drivers interested in going this year?
