Narrabundah Race Circuit Development 2007
In order to get racing going on a national class track with minimal downtime, many club members and local tradies donated their time, skills and equipment (such as bobcats, rollers and welders) and came up with goods such as drainage pipe, truckloads of dirt for the construction of new jumps and materials for the drivers stand, including a shipping container!
