Brisbane, Queensland – Lakeside Motor Racing Enthusiasts will hold an open meeting in the pits at Lakeside International Raceway on Saturday, 4 September. It will be the first time a motorsport club has been able to use   the heritage listed facility since the Pine Rivers Shire Council took over the facility in 2001.

Vehicles will not be permitted on the circuit during this rare occasion, but supporters are invited to discover the condition of the famous circuit and discuss its future as a motor racing track.

The PRSC has said that it intends to appeal against the world first heritage listing, but this move may indicate a change in Council's attitude toward motorsport.

LMRE president Ian Milton said,

"Until now, motorsport was the only group in the community excluded from using Lakeside, so we're very pleased that Council is taking a more common sense approach to owning a motor racing circuit."

 

"Obviously, this doesn't mean we've achieved our goal of returning club-level motor racing to Lakeside, but we view it as a step in the right direction."

Lakeside International Raceway in located 30 minutes north of Brisbane on Lakeside Rd, via Narangba Rd in Kallangur. Gates will be open from 12 noon to 2pm with LMRE starting its meeting at 1pm on Saturday, 4 September 2004.
