Casterton Drags Abolished

[rapidxr6]

Sad news for the local district drag racing down south.
The Casterton Street Drags have been cancelled and the word is that it will be abolished due to another major increase on their indemnity insurance. Even though for the past few years attendance has been getting bigger and better and times getting faster this is no where near enough to cover the sky rocketing insurance cost.
Main factor is gum trees on the right hand side, running adjacent to the strip. I'm not sure how many metres the trees are from the Sandford Flat Rd probably 15-20 metres?? I'm only aware of one minor accident involving the trees. A local young mechanic wheeled standed his maxxed 360 charger off the start line, hence lost control off the strip and smashed a back side window and a little panel damage, glanced a gum. Was not hurt, but bloody shaken.
