They dont like anyone having fun.I hope it goes ahead. Wont be so far for us "southerners" to travel. AIR is a pain for us.(and yes, I used to frequent it a lot years ago) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford_boy4l please stop playing with my testicles Donating Members 357 Member For: 13y 3m 27d Gender: Male Posted 17/06/13 09:57 PM Share Posted 17/06/13 09:57 PM Being a southner myself, it's still two hours to get to either one... =( just makes the whole experience of getting there that much more harder, especially if I break something and have to tow it home! Don't think my RAA membership covers that one somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not enough business for two strips ... One is destined to fail or worst caseBoth!Ill stick with rino and air ... He's trying hard and listening to what people want and going by the last meet we should just stick with.The hopes of a track to rival some of the best in the country seems a long long way off.

BenDoCo I'm getten too old for this s**t Bronze Donating Members 4,509 Member For: 11y 8m 20d Gender: Male Location: A big bridge over a river in South Australia Posted 18/06/13 08:09 AM Share Posted 18/06/13 08:09 AM I gotta agree with Fluff's comments above.Had to go into town today to return a couple of test Routers to Internode and bumped into an old mate from Broken Hill and he said basically the same thing as you Fluff. When he reminded me that SA doesn't have the population to support 2 tracks, I had to agree.I don't know who owns or runs the track but I am wondering if it was him/her (more likely that it was one of their workers) that was asking people a heap of Q's about the night when I went down to the snack bar......I like people that do things like that because instead of someone 'thinking' they know it all and deciding to do it their way ---- they ask the spectators that were at AIR on the night "what could be done better"Can't wait for the next meet there.

Bob Jane wont spend any money, as he wont at Calder either. Doesnt matter how good a promoter is, you cant make gold out of sh*t.I agree that we cant sustain 2 tracks, what we want is one top notch track. And at the moment, that aint AIR.

Used to be drags, rallycross, oval racing, circuit racing. Was some good racing back then, and up until around late 1990s, early 2000. Someone will correct me on those dates if I am incorrect.

At least air is 30 mins from the CBD ...If air had a new grand stand and some new facilities would be a winner IMO ...But your all right... Bob Jane is a pole smoking ohmo !

The Doorslammers love the track down there. I am not really into street drags as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
