The full event schedule can be found online at the Willowbank Raceway website - www.willowbank-raceway.com.au
This will be the first time in the Event's long history that it has moved from its usual Friday/Saturday format to be held entirely on the weekend, with the move set to make the event more accessible to fans as well as track volunteers, officials and drivers, while ensuring an early Sunday night schedule finish at approx 4.00pm to assist families on what is traditionally a ‘school night’.
Willowbank Raceway Managing Director Steve Bettes said he was looking forward to seeing how the new schedule worked for fans and racers alike.
“The decision by Willowbank Raceway to alter the Castrol EDGE Tin Top Titles format came about from listening to feedback from the fans, the officials and also the racers, and so I am looking forward to seeing how the change works in practice," said Bettes.
“We hope that making the move will make the Event more accessible to fans who will no longer have to battle Friday afternoon traffic and will now have a whole weekend of racing action to enjoy.
“With the racing moving in entirety to the weekend it will also make it easier for our volunteer officials, who will have the impact on their day-to-day occupations lessened, as will those who travel with the race teams.
“With a move to Sunday, we have also assured that no one will have to make the choice between staying out late on a ‘school’ or ‘work night’ and seeing the end of the racing action, with racing set to conclude in the early evening with the finals scheduled to start at 3.45pm.”
The Castrol EDGE Tin Top Titles will take place on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of April, and will feature all the sedan action from Top Doorslammer and Pro Stock as well as the two-wheeled show of the Pro Stock Motorcycle category.
