Cruisers,
 
We have been asked to forward this onto everybody and we believe this is important to Motor Sport fans and to our hobby of Cruising to help keep hoons off the street. We would encourage as many of you as possible to attend these events to show our government that South Australia has many Motor Sport enthusiasts who are tired of not having a serious & viable multi-purpose motorsport venue. Please read below!
 
Please forward it on to anyone who may be interested (any type of car enthusiast – 4-cylinders, drifters, circuit racers etc etc)
 
Check on the website www.adelaidemotorplex.com.au to confirm details.
 
Regards
Grant & Stephanie Zippel

There will be a public meeting being held where all people who have an interest in the proposed Pt Adelaide Motorplex will have an opportunity to not only to hear from the consortium themselves, also from politicians, guest speakers etc. www.adelaidemotorplex.com.au

WHERE:
Masonic Centre – Commercial Rd (cnr Dale St), Pt Adelaide
Sunday Aug 23rd, at 2.00pm
Please attend if you can!
 
This will be followed by a;
Protest on Friday 28th August at;
Parliament House, Nth Tce in the city @ 5.00pm (that will bring the city to a standstill).
Police permits will be arranged and we expect total co-operation of the Police.

Everyone is to be on their best behavior as there will be a huge media presence. Bring your cars and your family. The events will be self policed so if you see someone doing something stupid that could harm the image of the modified car/motorsport community don't hesitate to report it.

We are an important part of the community and we (who do the right thing) deserve better treatment from the Media and the Government.

Consider this -

A footballer only has to purchase a Guernsey, shorts, some boots and pay his subs to play (the government and councils generally supply all the ovals and facilities).

Someone involved in modified cars/motorsport probably spends on average around $30,000 to 'play', whilst at the same time much of that money goes into local businesses creating jobs and apprenticeships.

Not only do we not have a place to play, we have a situation where by a private consortium, who wishes to build the track on the land the government offered them (and which the consortium offered to purchase or lease off of the government), with no taxpayer input required, has the offer knocked back because it will 'create more hoons on the public roads'.

If you want this Motorplex to become a reality, and can see all the positives for SA that will go with it, just spend a couple of hours of your life to attend the meeting and then the protest, making it one of the noisiest protests in SA history!

This is our one chance to show that we, the modified car/motorsport/business community are more than a just bunch of hoons who are a drain on society.

Enough is Enough!!!

Stay tuned for more news!
