DRAGS Magazine- Campaign for Canberra drag strip

Welcome to the public campaign to get new drag strips in Canberra and Alice Springs.

As detailed in Issue 2 of Drags Magazine the Liberal Party, currently in opposition, in the A.C.T. has promised $8million dollars for the construction of a brand new quarter mile drag strip.

Issue 2 of Drags Magazine contains an interview with Liberal Shadow Sports Minister, Bill Stefaniak, which puts him on the record with this pledge; and Drags Magazine intends to keep the pressure on, but your help is needed in two ways:

Add your name to the email petition below. We will combine all names into one (hopefully huge) document that Drags Magazine will present prior to the A.C.T. elections in October of this year.
Download the letter below and fax it to the A.C.T. politicians.

Please note that to hold any importance and credibility a petition must be able to be theoretically individually verified as being genuine i.e. not simply drummed up with fictitious names. As such the petition below asks for a telephone number. Please note that you will not be contacted, and Drags Magazine also guarantees:

	Total confidentiality
	Your details will not be passed on to any other organisation
	You will be contacted for any other purpose.

W.S.I.D was built because of public pressure, it does make a difference, and so can you. Please support this campaign.

Here is the statement that will constitute the petition: "We the under-signed call upon you to provide $8million for the construction of a new drag racing complex in the Australian Capital Territory. Drag racing is a legitimate sport and is entitled to receive a fair share of public funding. It is also an important recreational sport and provides enormous economic benefits to the surrounding local economy and national economy."

But wait there's more! The Northern Territory government has allocated around 20 hectares of land for a new drag strip. However this pledge does not provide any funds for the construction. All monies must be raised by the Central Australian Drag Racing Association (CADRA).

Drags Magazine wants to assist CADRA by putting pressure on the Northern Territory government to provide the construction funds (in the same manner as promised by the ACT government) but your help is needed. Add your name to our email petition for the Alice Springs drag strip and download the letter below and fax it to the N.T. politicians.

"We the under-signed call upon you to provide the necessary funding for the construction of a new drag racing complex on the land already allocated near Alice Springs. Drag racing is a legitimate sport and is entitled to receive a fair share of public funding. It is also an important recreational sport and provides enormous economic benefits to the surrounding local economy and national economy."
