The Chill Perth 360 (formerly known as the Trading Post Perth Challenge) is a V8 Supercar event held annually at Barbagallo Raceway in Western Australia.
The Trading Post Perth Challenge is staged over a three-day weekend (Friday-Sunday). Practice is held on Friday with a 55-minute qualifying session on Saturday, followed by the first of three 120-kilometre (approx. 75-mile) races. The final two races are held on Sunday. The winner of the event is determined by points accumulated over all three races.
In 2009, the round moved from its traditional early season round spot, to the 13th round of the championship.
After a break in 2010, the race returned in 2011 for the weekend of 30 April-2 May.

His house among the local sheds and shanties
Rose like a factor’s at a trading station.”

“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“To motorists bound to or from the Jersey shore, Perth Amboy consists of five traffic lights that sometimes tie up week-end traffic for miles. While cars creep along or come to a prolonged halt, drivers lean out to discuss with each other this red menace to freedom of the road.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Seas of bright juice suffuse heaven.
The earth by the sky staid with, the daily close of their junction,
The heav’d challenge from the east that moment over my head,
The mocking taunt, See then whether you shall be master!”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
