There will be ten prize winners. Each prize consists of one complimentary entry into a race of the winner’s choice ($180 RRP). The total prize pool is valued at $1,800.
The prize must be taken as stated and no compensation will be payable if a winner is unable to use the prize, or any element of it, as stated. The Promoter reserves the right to substitute the prize in whole or in part for something of equal or greater value in the event that any component of the prize is unavailable (subject to any applicable legislation). The Prize is not transferable, deferrable, exchangeable, or redeemable for cash or product. The prize cannot be sold to any other person (including by online auction or private sale).

Before the prize is awarded, entrant selected as the winner (or parent/legal guardian if aged under 18 years) may be required to sign a release and indemnity agreement, the terms of which will be determined by the Promoter in its absolute discretion. Failure to sign the release and indemnity agreement will result in disqualification from eligibility to win the prize.
All entries become the property of the Promoter.
The draw will take place at the Promoter’s premises at the address in clause 7, no later than 19:00 AEST on Thursday 22 June 2023 to select a prize winner from all the Eligible Entrants. Winners will be notified by direct message.

Each entrant indemnifies and will keep indemnified the Promoter in relation to all loss and damage whatsoever which is suffered (including but not limited to indirect or consequential loss) by the Promoter as a direct or indirect result of the entrant acting inconsistently with or breaching any part of these Terms and Conditions.
