2016 Qld Casual Motorsport Events - consolidated list

This is a consolidated list of casual motorsport style events that are organised / operated by others in the SEQld / Nothern NSW area.  Note I haven't posted a full list of the various racing series, just events that the causal amateur or 1st timer may wish to attend.  Please post up any events that you know about or are attending in 2016 and I'll add them to the list.
 
The list of these events are not part of, organised by or affiliated with the MR2 Owners Club Qld Branch Inc. (e.g. QR sprint sessions booked by Eric).  A separate thread will be created for any official events organised by the Club.  Now that the "all care and no responsibility taken" clause is out of the way, on to the list of events...
 
(work in progress - calendars for various groups will be re-posted here)

Lakeside has always been on the cards. QR is cheaper and easier to book though which is why I have done it in the past. It is also great for beginner drivers with heaps of runoff room.
