Thanks for the information, the AMA site shows a race in July as well, I assume that is wrong? I tried the PROPS WEB SITE but keep getting the message the server is not responding.

Can you advise the racing schedule over the two days,
I am particularly interested in the number of rounds for q40. I assume APRA is the local q500 event, where can one find the rules for this?
