if you plan on racing it at a track like that, i'd get in touch with CAMS, i would imagine there would be some process you would have to go through to ensure it's roadworthy to be able to race it

this may be of some help...I'm sure the info will be readily available somewhere.
Also, i think it will depend on what class you'll be running in. http://www.motorplex.com.au/competit...regs_rev01.pdf |

If you are only going to drag race it, it doesnt have to be rego`d. All cars at off street meets are usually scrutineered, only basic safety stuff so as long as you do it right no probs.
