Summerland Drags Media Release

17-07-2010

Summerland Drags promoter David Lander has announced that additional final planning is needed to gain consent to the drag racing Development Application before Richmond Valley Council.

David explained that whilst Richmond Valley Council has performed its dual role commendably as the consent authority and as the owner of the Casino Aerodrome, the increasing popularity of Northern Rivers drag racing has created extra planning requirements.

“We need extra time to get it right. So in the best interests of drag racing fans, competitors and sponsors, as well as the broader community, I have decided to postpone the previously scheduled July 31 event until early Spring,” David said.

“A little bit of pain now to lock in four annual events for the next 10 years or so will be well worth it. Think of it as an anti-flu injection.

“Competitors who have nominated for the July event will of course be automatically listed as competitors for the next event, or if they choose, the late Spring event.

“Drag racing fans, competitors and sponsors can express their support for drag racing in Casino by writing to the General Manager, Richmond Valley Council, Locked Bag 10, Casino 2470. Quote DA number 420/2010, or via email on council@richmondvalley.nsw.gov.au "

David went on to say that new event dates will be announced next month.

“As soon as I know, the community will know,” he added.
