Notes for Entry

Numbers are capped to allow for more classes, however wait lists will be setup so that if possible all entrants will get a ride. If a scratching is able to be filled from the wait list the scratching will be fully refunded. If no ride is allocated the waitlisted entry will be fully refunded. Late entries will not be accepted. Closing date: 9 March 2025
