At the recent race meeting at RPM Raceways at Hervey Bay , I overheard several people voicing their concerns on the viability of Redline raceway to host major race meetings. I will attempt to address the concerns that I heard.
1 The raceway is too far from an airport.
The raceway is approximately 45 minutes by road from Newcastle airport. Whilst this is a little further than other tracks I dont feel the distance is excessive.
2 There is no Accommodation close to the raceway.
There is a small motel attached to the Vacy Hotel which has accommodation available it is around 3 minutes from the track.
There are two hotels in Paterson which have accommodation around 10 minutes from the track.
There are two large motel complexes on the highway at East Maitland each have a large amount of rooms . These are situated around 25 minutes from the track. There is also the possibility for people with vans etc to park onsite.
3. There are no close places to buy food.
The Vacy General Store is around 3 minutes from the track. It sells a large variety of takeaway food , hamburgers , fish and chips , sandwiches and breadrolls as well as pizza , they also have a courtyard area where they serve sitdown meals.
The Vacy Hotel also located around 3 minutes from the track has a dining room with a large variety of sitdown meals.
There is also a Thai restaurant next door to the hotel which has take away and dine in options.
I hope these answers help alleviate any concerns that people have , but feel free to raise any potential issues that you have and I will do my best to address them.
