One hundred entries have lined up in the 25-event programme for what will be the last race meeting to be held on the old track surface.

Next month, the track will close to enable a complete resurface and curb update as part of the ongoing venue refurbishment undertaken by the Baskerville Foundation during the past three years.

Other projects include a complete renovation and upgrade of the control tower.

While some classes have already been decided, there are still a number that will go down to the wire, and close-fought racing is anticipated.

In HQ Holdens Andrew Toth has a 51-point lead over Duane Preece, but with Preece not entered for the meeting, the only driver Toth has to worry about is Phil Ashlin who is 82 points behind.

With 150 points up for grabs it’s going to be tall order for Ashlin to get up.

In Formula Vee, with second-placed Dion Wylie not competing, newly-crowned National champion Wade McLean can’t be beaten for the state title as third-placed Lindsay Murfet is 159 points behind.

The Historic Touring Car title will go down to the wire.

John Talbot leads in his Mustang by just six points over the Torana XU1 of Scott Cordwell, but after his dominant performance at the recent Historic meeting Talbot, with V8 power, will be hard to beat.

Paul McKercher, in his V8-powered Valiant Charger, leads Improved Production by 69 points from the Mazda RX7 of Jason Willmott, and it should be another David and Goliath battle, especially if it rains.

Tony Warren has already wrapped up the Sports GT A title in his record-breaking Mitsubishi Evo 7 but second place is still to be decided and will come down to Robert Van de Niet in his early Evo 2 RS and Peter O’Keefe in his Mazda RX7, with 40 points between them.

In Sports GT B, Matthew Grace in his turbocharged Datsun 1200 has a 17-point lead over the Nissan Skyline of Steve Noble, with David Paine in the 6.0 litre, V8 Holden ute only 13 points further back, so this will be a tight one to the finish.

Veteran David Wrigley has already wrapped up Sports GT C in his Mustang, but no doubt will be aiming to finish off the year with a win.

The Hyundai Excel class has produced some great racing, but the title is almost a sure thing with third-generation driver James Burdon holding a 124-point lead over Peter Kemp.

A big field of 24 cars has entered the Regularity events, and the title will be fought out between Brett Mansfield in his Commodore and Neil Johnson in his Porsche with only two points between them.
