Drivers from all over the state will converge on Sunday hoping to claim one of the three Clubman Cups on offer.
More than 60 competitors have entered with cadet 9 drivers as young as seven racing.
The meeting also includes the Phil Goss Memorial for the over 40s drivers.
The feature Clubman Cup classes of KA3 junior, KA3 senior light and KA3 senior medium have attracted the cream of Tasmanian drivers with all three defending champions entered.
In KA3 junior, young Fletcher Bellars, of Hobart, is the form driver at the moment but will face tough opposition from Devonport's Ethan Wyllie and the fast improving Hobart pair of Patrick Short and Evan Chivers.
However, home members will be the ones to watch in Tyson Phegan, William Blair and William O'Grady.
Reigning Australian KA1 champion Lochie Dalton heads this list of 13 drivers entered in KA3 senior light.
Dalton will need to reproduce the form that claimed the national title if he wants to go back to back as former winner Nathan Zuj will be keen to take the win along with Hobart pair Brad Hobden and Gemma Wyllie.
Dalton will need to reproduce the form that claimed the national title.
KA3 senior medium has defending champion Alastair Lee going for a three-peat.
The form driver going into the meeting is Brody Appleby after a commanding win at Smithton a month ago. Also in contention will be Hobart's Mitchel Evans, Spreyton's Jordan Distill and Launceston gun Jackson Callow.
Racing starts at 8.30am with full support classes of cadet 9, cadet 12, KA4 junior, KA4 masters and TaG restricted. Full canteen facilities are available at the track and entry is free.
