The 2007 WPS BIMF will also focus on car and motorcycle clubs coming along to display and parade their vehicles over the weekend.

Good to see the Commodore Cup announcement. Excellent to see the organisers have solved the problem of last years event, lack of on track action. Such diversity through the categories aswell old, new, classic, prestige, mass production.

Any mention of the ChampCar returning.

Yeah I guess thats the double edged sword with holding an event over the Easter break. Awesome in that its the long weekend and time off work, but negative in that people look to spend time with the family.

Sunday for me atleast is highly unlikely for that reason, but Saturday looks like its got me.

Also just noted, ChampCar will be running. Only on the Saturday it seems though.

A pity the bikers are only wanted club wise (ie..attendance), and not in the competing capacity.

Looks like a good weekend, hopefully the 12 hour will be a success.
