Top Fuel Australia and Atlantic Oils has issued the below update in regards to the upcoming Top Fuel round in regards to the recent tragedy at Willowbank Raceway.
Statement reads:
“In light of the terrible incident at Willowbank Raceway, Top Fuel Australia and Atlantic Oils have decided to make our Australia Day weekend event an opportunity for the racing community to come together.
We’ve decided to offer competitor entry completely free of charge. All racers who have already paid to enter will receive a full refund and their passes will remain valid to compete at the event. This offer is open to all categories and all racers while places remain for the event. Prize money will still be paid for all categories.
To make the event more accessible for spectators, we’re significantly reducing the price of tickets. Day passes are now $25/day for adults, $15/day for 11-16yo, and $60 for a family. Kids 10 and under are free. Anyone who has already purchased a spectator pass will receive a refund of the difference from OzTix direct.
We’ve taken competitor and spectator tickets offline to get this all set up and we will be back on sale at 5pm Tuesday.
Let’s come together and show that racers are there for each other when they’re needed most and remember Sam Fenech in a way that would make him smile – being at the track, racing with friends.“
