Hi

I think plan was that the strip was much closer than that pad, near the 4WD area. Its actually a mine subsidence area around, could get scary. I doubt if another track will be built at Badgerys Creek, being so close to Eastern Creek.

Hi Gentlemen,Just bought Motorsport news mag...Here is 2 paragraphs of our Sydney tracks under Scruitineer.....AVESCO shouldnt assume that Oran Pks fans will go to homebush,or any street race.If they dont go to Estern Creek,then why would they fork out more cash and travel even further to see even less on track action? With Eastern Creek continuing to FAIL,and Oran Pk living on its last legs due to housing developments,Sydney needs a new track,butthe success of it will depend on where its is positioned....Written by Grant Rowley motor mouth....What do you think of these comments?..its all coming down to urban sprawl.JVLRacingnn[ Edited on 19/8/2005 by jvl054 ]

My mate is seriously spewing about that. It's the only round he can get to. You have to ask what they were thinking, I mean Eastern Ck is the circuit closest to a city, and that city is the largest in Oz. I don't have much time for supercars, I think they are highly overated, but even still this decision makes no sense what so ever. They've taken the V8s out prime bogun country and sent them where? Barrain, yeah that's a good idea. NOT! Still I spose that's the one place where oil is cheap enough to justify owining a V8. :duh
