The second round of the series takes place on Bathurst Day, and the race day will be based around ensuring that everyone will be able to keep track of what is happening at Bathurst on the big television screen set up in the club house. We will be running the oval track to ensure that racing can finish early, and will also take a break to watch the start of the great race. What better way to watch Bathurst than with all of your petrol head mates. At the conclusion of racing the bar will be open and BBQ provided.

The third round will be in the reverse direction.
