The ARB Off Road Racing Series has reached the half way point for its 2015 season, having staged the first two rounds, the ARB Griffith 400 and the MBL Sea Lake Mallee Rally ARB 350 in the first half of the year.

Heading into the business end of the season, the series heads to the Queensland border in early August for the penultimate round, Albins ARB Goondiwindi 400 and to the south east of South Australia for in late September for the deciding round and the end of year series celebrations.

Preparations are well underway for the Albins ARB Goondiwindi 400, scheduled for the 7-9 August, with the Goondiwindi Motor Sports Association undertaking some major venue works in the recent months.

The spectator mound has been extended and the event headquarters, communications hut and commentary platform have all been relocated to allow for clearer spectating of the start finish line.

Work has also been done around the track with the installation of some drainage pipes to alleviate the need for cars to drive though a section of standing water. A new short length of track, which runs parallel to Malapunyah Run, has been added to bring the action closer to the spectators, all be it a brief viewing, it will be a great indication of on track positions as cars head into the final 10km of the course.

Track marking will continue over the new few weeks and, although weather conditions are currently cold and miserable, the forecast for race weekend is favourable.
