Worried about a carpet setup ? The good news is, the AusBite carpet is not ultra high grip, so an aphalt setup will be a safe starting point and your car will be easy to drive.

See the map below for details on where to park and how to access the Gym at St Francis Xavier College.

No need to bring tables or chairs, we have you covered. Traction compound and tyre cleaner are available as part of your entry fee. (If you want to use your own cleaner at your pitt table, please use Wurth - which we will have available for purchase).
