That blends nicely into the traditional end of year Christmas Party bookings on the Twinstar Racing Race day on Friday, December 18.
However, due to the ongoing restrictions around COVID-19 this year, the club has announced a more measured approach to its flagship race days.

The three racedays have strictly limited 'ticketed only' access to track side action and hospitality due to pandemic and social distancing restrictions.
The club will only host a maximum of 500 guests at these race meetings which incorporates all members, owners, sponsors, VIPs and general racing patrons.
Tickets will only be available directly through the club.
Goulburn Race Club ceo Robyn Fife said the decision was taken by the club's board to ensure COVID-19 regulations were being met.
"Whilst its disappointing to limit our events to about a sixth of their normal level, we are working within the allowable capacity that our amenities provide given ongoing COVID restrictions," Ms Fife said.
"Goulburn Cup Day, our blue-ribbon day of racing, remains a country showcase meeting with over $460 000 in prize money on offer to industry participants.
"The 500 tickets maximum applies to our feature race days for the final quarter of 2020."
Nominations for Goulburn Cup Day close Tuesday, October 27 at 11am.
