Carnell Raceway will roar back to life this weekend as members of the Qld Early Motorcycle Club and their bikes take to the circuit on Saturday and Sunday.

Motor racing enthusiasts will be able to move through the pits, get up close and personal with some extraordinary bikes from the 1930’s to 1990 and chat to the owners and riders.

Racing classes include Advanced, Intermediate Formula One Sidecar and Novice.

Carnell Raceway is located on Rifle Range Road, Stanthorpe and provides excellent spectator and viewing facilities for members of the public to catch all the on course action.

The Test and Tune event this weekend is the first of three events the club will hold at Carnell raceway in 2023.

Members will return in April (15/16) for the Carnell Classic. The club will be back for their much anticipated Big Chill weekend on the 8-9 July.

Entry to Carnell Raceway this weekend for the Test and Tune event is Free to the public.

Gates will be open early for competitors and the racing action gets underway from 10am on both days.
