Good to see AVESCO is going to take over the brutes as this might make a good series even better and they might come to tassie, hopefully.

slikxr6t Master of my domain! Member 438 Member For: 21y 4m Location: Victoria Posted 25/04/04 11:49 PM Share Posted 25/04/04 11:49 PM A sad day in motorsport indeed! Hopefully the categories get picked up and supported by AVESCO and others. I feel sorry for all the teams, most of whom have very tight budgets, who went out and secured sponsorship and spent up large on their teams for the '04 season only to have it blow up in their faces.

240 T Member 335 Member For: 22y 10d Gender: Male Location: Mexico Posted 26/04/04 10:20 AM Author Share Posted 26/04/04 10:20 AM Don't know about the 24H, would be much better under new control, maybe avesco will take over and have it as a non-championship event for the V8's makesence teams would be able to gather heaps of data for the next years 1000 the only trade off would be all the lower class cars in the way but I cannot imagine to many v8 supercar teams wanting to miss out on 24 hours of data gathering?Also in my first post I made some predictions for procars existing catogorys and there future, these are only my predictins and are NOT official although garry rogers did say on sundays RPM that he expected AVESCO to pick up a few as support catogorys. But did still blab on about the 427 "Monaro" :lol: and the need for it to find a catogory for to race in, where in my view he should have used the money that he put into the develoment of these so called "monaros" into konika entered a two car team and gave jamie whincup and another younge gun a chance in a catogory with a very very bright future, in a few years I can see konika being a very well supported motorsport catrogory 2nd most supported in ausralia if it isn't allready there.
