It's about 7 hrs from Brissy. There is a full program with most classes, you'd have to have a look on the TBC facebook page for more info..

On the Troy Bayliss Classic Facebook page. They are expecting it to sell out.

I herd from a mate that the track is not good for spectating and worse if theres a huge crowd and I say there will be.

I have never been to the old bar track so I am only going off what he told me


So you may have to get there early to get the best seats,
I think johnny o was there a week or so ago he may be able to give a second opinion.

Hopefully they will get portable grandstands ( these can be normally found at the football fields Via the local council )

I was at the practice at Kempsey last week, never been to Taree track but have heard it holds less spectators than most tracks.

Sorry Johnny o wrong track I throught you went to,
phill lovett takes one of his large trucks to the kurri speed way and parks it on one of the hills for him and others to use as a grand stand ( they all stand in the tray of it ) but seeing he is riding in this event he may not be taking his truck

[JohnnyO]

It was an official TBC practice last week but they used Kempsey because Taree was being prepped. So many of the guys are going hard it's anyone's race..

[Grasy 6]

Track event ever. Even better it is an OIL track no damn surface inconsisity. See you there

Bayliss and Kirkness were right on the pace too, Hollis adapted quickly.
