| HEATHCOTE PARK
RACEWAY SETTLEMENT IS COMPLETE |
| IHRA -
5/01/2021 |
Hello
everyone,
I just want to confirm that we have now
settled on Heathcote Park Raceway and
it's now officially changed ownership. |
| |
| This has been
an extremely difficult process but one
that I was determined to see through and
make it happen. |
| |
| Now it's time
to get to work, and make this place the
best it can be for all drag racers in
Victoria. |
| |
| Please support
us while we put into place our plans for
the upgrades over the next 12 months. |
| |
| We promise you
that we will provide regular updates via
all our social media platforms as often
as we can. |
| |
Lastly, I wish
Russel Clarke all the best in his
retirement.
Many Thanks
Lance Warren |
