Over fifty years have passed for one of Queensland’s greatest race tracks by the lake and in 2012 the action will not slow down. 2011 had fans from around the world coming to Lakeside Park to help celebrate 50 years of motor racing with a number of special events.

March will kick off Lakeside celebrations with an event not to be missed. Lakeside Tribute Race Meeting, to be held on March 24th and 25th, is going to be for race cars built before 1980 and plans are to pay tribute to the original builders of the track and the racers who competed.

The first race at Lakeside was on March 14th, 1961 and there were 33 entries. In 2012 there will be a fine display of cars on the track and action all weekend.

One feature of the Lakeside Tribute Race Meeting will be the Group N Touring Cars competing in Round 1 of the Queensland Cup. Group N Touring Cars are an Australian motor racing category for touring cars built before December 1972 and they guarantee great racing action.

Other racing categories will include Trans Am where American Muscle cars from the 1963 – 1974 era will fight for supremacy on the track. The category is focused on 2 door/4 seater American Muscle Cars and features marques such as Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, AMC and Pontiac.

Group S cars will also be racing. Based on mildly modified production sports cars, Group S is designed to provide a forum for competitors to race cars from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s in a form similar to period club racing.

Finally there will regularity events. Regularity events are designed to test the driver’s consistency in driving. The events are timed, usually 15-20 minutes. Each competitor nominates a time they believe can be kept. Points are deducted for variance in this time. The driver who has lost the least amount of points at the end of the event is deemed the winner.
