ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

For several years there has been endless talk about the future of Gold Coast motorsport venues.

Selfish self-interest has led to on-going rhetoric and buck passing and in the meantime venues for motorsport activity on the Gold Coast have been decimated.

Something has to be done.

The idea of Place To Race is to provide a collective voice for all Gold Coast motorsport clubs, competitors, sponsors, industry members and fans.

The first step is to bring all stakeholders together through this one website and provide one line of public communication – we need you to REGISTER NOW!

The second is for individuals to fire their thoughts, complaints and suggestions to their divisional councillor – often and loud – certainly louder than any of them think a go-kart or dirt bike might be!

The next step will be a meeting of all the major stakeholders and then a public rally the likes of which have not been seen on the Gold Coast before.
