This event will run a completely new, unique and never seen before format and racing will be held over 3 nights over the Australia Day Long weekend and in an attempt to ensure the event stay affordable for everyone to take part, there will be NO nomination fee and the club will have a special 3-day “heavily discounted” Super Pass that will save everyone a heap of coin.
The Kings Royal will incorporate time trials, multiple heat races and an all important 50 lap A Main and for those lucky 24 drivers that qualify will walk away from the weekend with at least $400.
