Page faces fierce competition from a man 25 years his junior, Grant Trask.

"Grant is a lot braver than I am and technically has a better boat," Page said.

"Whether his boat is going to be suited to the weather and the course is another question.

"He's a fierce competitor and one of the best up and coming drivers in the sport.

"He's not afraid to get in and be a part of the action."

A relatively quiet build up has suited Page who said he will head into the weekend's event calm and composed.

"It's finally starting to dawn on me that the weekend is here and even though I'm quite excited about it I try to go into these pressure cooker events calm and take it on the chin," he said.

"If you go in with too much expectation you seem to make too many mistakes.

"We've been there before and the crew are very good at what they do, so we will just go out there to have a fun weekend."

Page also spoke highly of his home course and home crowd.

"The event always draws a crowd so if the weather is kind to us we should get a pretty good attendance," he said.

"It's one of the best courses in Australia to sit and watch because a lot of the courses elsewhere has the action going away from you, but here in Port it all unfolds in front of your eyes."

Entry is just $5 per person and under 16s are free. There will be a host of food and beverage facilities, entertainment for the kids and every child gets a free poster.

The action kicks off on Saturday at McInherney Park and is expected to finish at around 5pm on Sunday.
