Got a guy that wants to bring a minibus of spectators in from the west, will there be a gate entry fee for them, if so, how much??

Unless the meeting is permitted as a Inter-Club Commercial there can't be a spectator charge. You should know that John after Conondale.

Vaughn it is a two day meeting you have to be there Saturday to help the clubs set up and water the track.

Where are the road works. Can we just head towards Warwick from Gatton and come in on the Warwick road.

I was up there last night Kev and there are 3 lots of road works, the worst being the range, single lane up and down, more just this side of Helidon and again at Minden, so pot luck with the Traffic, you can go through Walloon to Laidley then to Gatton and up the back way to Clifton Dryton area, I'm going up Cunninghams Gap and through Goomburra State Forrest, its about 30 klms longer but no Traffic at all.

Luck of the draw Stewy I think,  Saturday  arvo or Sunday morning I don't think you will have an issue, but hey I could be wrong, I'd be leaving a little early if I was going on Sunday morning that's all.

I'll be coming from QMP so I will just go over to Aratula then head towards Warwick and come in from the Warwick Toowoomba road. I'll try it out this weekend.

That's the best way from QMP Kevin, I'm going up this weekend as well for the MX nationals so I will see you up there Kev....  Be interesting to see what changes they have made to the track...

The matterhorn is still there Mic. You should get the Horwoods to come up and have a ride in a couple of weeks....I think Army and Deacon are riding....Get those big KTM's fired up again. 8)

The run down that hill, from skyline will be there. The Mattahorn may not all the dirt is gone and it is down to rock, but they may put it back for this week. We had a ThunderX meeting there one year. The track was run backwards, I remember passing three bikes going up towards the Mattahorn (backwards). I pulled across and filled each one in as I went by, (Maico 490 power).

As for roadworks if you are coming from Northside of Brisbane just go through Esk/Crows Nest. That's the way I will be going home to Redcliffe.

John as much as I love to be racing at that great track it is on the same weekend as Crawthford river classic which is 30 min from my house not 7hrs.
The CRC is a cool track as well so it's all good. Not sure what the boys are up to regarding Toowoomba they haven't yet made a decision that I know off. Pete and Brad could go to either race. Will be there for Nats thou with bells on. My tricked up 84 KTM 495 will be sorted and race ready.

If you're coming from Brisbane, you could turn at Blacksoil towards Fernvale and Esk and turn onto the Esk-Hampton Road and then head to Toowoomba from Hampton, it's about 50km longer than going up the range, but with all the road works it may be quicker. 

If you're as far north as Burpengary or Caboolture, the quickest way is Woodford, Kilcoy, Toogoolawah, Crows Nest to Toowoomba

Another way to avoid the range itself is to take the Spring Bluff/Murphys Creek turnoff just after you get off the Gatton bypass.  Its nearly 20km longer, but depends how long it takes to get up the range.
