This is Gu's Cache and unfortunatly I have forgotten his password! This is indeed gone, we went to look for it on Saturday and could not find it, we are tossing up weather to replace or archive. Will advise either way
On our way north to the farm and pulled down here. letting the kids nav from the back seat is an interesting exersice. Stopped right on top of some road kill which was just ripe. We let the kids looose and drove off down the road to turn around. As we returned sore a couple of hitch hikers and decided to be nice and picked them up.

Needs new log book and pencil as its full! Lovely sunny day for a highway detour
Dropped in on the way down to Hobart. It was very quiet here today - only the sound of a couple of large logging trucks going past! I could imagine how noisy it would get when an event was running.
Thanks GURipper.
Thanks GURipper.
A nice quick find on my way back home. Signed name on bottom corner of back page. Thanks for the hunt GURipper.
Found this on geoniece's way home from a stay in Hobart. We had a few DNFs so far on the trip, so were pleased to actually find this one.

Grabbed this on the way home to Hobart. Have often seen the sign pointing the way at the turnoff. Now we are home they are flat out advertising the next meeting. Might even wander up. The logbook is full and we didn't have a replacement. TFTC Cheers Quilter
Couldn't resist coming out for a look at the drag strip. Was a bit disapointed you can't see more of it from the road.

Biggles58 beat us to this one. Good hide! Hint very accuarate. Very quick! TFTC
Nearly had it just using the iPhone but once again needed to get the GPS out to hone in on the right spot. TFTH
Something going on over at the track today but we were there and gone as fast as a top fuel drag car (ALMOST!). TFTC.
Easy drive by detour on the way to Launceston. Left Blue Kangaroo TB. TFTC. TNLN.
Found this cache a few weeks back, but neglected to log it.
I can understand why not to retrieve on race days. TFTC

Bugger, took the wrong car today. The cache mobile would have not been quick enough but our other cache mobile just might have. TFTC
Easy find. Cache quite exposed so tried to hide it more carefully. Can see why event days are not recommended! TFTC
Found with Hoterini. Cache out in the open. Put back where we thought it belonged. SL left nothing.
Out in the open. Put back where I think it should be. Pen is a bit touchy so may pay to take your own. Plastic bag getting a little worn
Quick detour on our way to Hobart cache was laying in tussock so replaced in the obvious spot TFTC
Found with MtnLioness on our week-long sightseeing, touring and caching tour of Tasmania.
A quick find (had to go OVER/AROUND the fence), no racing cars, but PLENTY of trucks racing down and up the road! TFTC.

Found in the company of MtbikerOz (Dad) on our week of Touring and caching around Tazzie.
Have only been able to log these once we got back to Melbourne.
Yep, HAD to go through fence to get to this one!

Found with TassieGirl13, a quick drive by for us on our way south.
No action today so an easy find, TFTC.

Found this cache on a cold foggy morning when we could barely see across the road. There was plenty of evidence of recent hoon work on the entrance to the facility that we could not copy since our cache-mobile is totally underpowered. The CEyres will have to come here one evening for a meeting. No swaps, we just signed the log and enjoyed the break in our journey.
I took this short diversion off the highway and soon found the cache. Quite a busy stretch of road! TFTC.
Nearly gave up on this one til Chumpy 1.5 pointed out the clue looking at me! TFTC
Quick find, found at 0849hrs. Never been to the drags here, but have attended meets at Castlereigh in NSW. TFTC and cheers OldSaint.
The only cache we could find in the dark on the way home from Hobart after several other very cold failed attempts.
nice quick find after a short detour off the main highway.... must admit to not really being a fan of drag racing but, hey, each to their own 
cheers 4 da cache and venture out here, enjoyed it GURipper and Dirty Girl Tas!

Heading north to camp with friends and decided to alter course to find this cache.
A bit difficult to do the standing quarter with the van on the back, maybe next time.

Continuing our tour from Launceston to Hobart with maccamob we pulled up near gz and had the whole place to ourselves. It was quite a peaceful area today but we know thta it would be quite different on race days. At gz there were two possible hides maccamob picked the right one
Thanks again guys for the cache
Thanks again guys for the cache
Found by Mary & David in company with Team Crackers, at 0935. Time for the guys to swap 'quarter mile' stories. Our thanks to GURipper and Dirty Girl.
No rev heads present at the time but plenty of frogs were serenading a beautiful sunset. Last cache on the way home. TFTC
There were two raceway caches to find in this area and this one was the first.
Many years ago I lived at Cressy so I knew this road well. No caches in those days but this one was just a short detour from the highway

Looked in wrong spot which was just behind the cache....until I woke up...then all go. Haven't been here for quite a while...last time when the two trucks were there....pretty awesome sight too. TFTC....GURipper and Dirty Girl Tas ....Cheers.
Great spot for a cache! We hadn't driven up that way before... We're heading back to sydney tonight so the travel bug is destined for Oatley, NSW!
Made the short trip off the highway into here, I didn't even know it existed. Nice little hide, quiet road, so retrieved and re-hid easily. Thanks for the cache and the beginning of a little education on motorsports.
I knew we should have braved the weather last week!!! 2nd to find but nonetheless a good hide. Took horse pin and left soldier. TFTC
Decided today was going to be the day for me to find this cache.
Ooops, hard getting out of bed this morning so a late start to the day.
Ooops, drove past the turn off.
Ooops, no coords in the GPS and the cachemobile has become unreliable in starting.
Found after a short search. TNLN Thanks.
