A majority of entrants arrived Thusday setting up camp in the recently extended pit area and for those who hung around, were given the opportunity to see the “Back Up Plan” lights set up around the track.  As seen at the State Titles earlier in the year where weather interrupted the first day and a half of the event,  with out the ability to run into the night, the title would not been able to be completed.  The National track inspector was that impressed with the level of lighting that he recommended that Loxton look into running a night event in the 2015 season.   Friday saw the remaining entrants arrive and after scrutineering and sign-in had been completed practice started at 9.30 as many drivers took advantage of some last minute tuning and set up changes.
