ROUND 1 of the Short Circuit Motor Sport Association series will be at Morgan Park Raceway this weekend.

There will be 70 drivers in action.

The weekend will conclude with State of Origin action between Queensland and New South Wales where five drivers from each state do a fast lap and the times are added together to determine the winner.
