And the reasons the SA government want more of the same.
Statistically 75% of street races in australia have been succesful and bring great benifits to the community

Peck, without starting a flame war, lets agree to disagree on the fact that Melbourne is a financial drain (due to Bernie Millionare being so demanding).
Indy & Adelaide (effectively) and Melbourne all began life as other races, not stand alone V8 spectaculars.
Canberra was just that, a stand alone V8 spectacular without other international drawcards and its history is quite clear.
Now in it's defence, it was the wrong time of year, (AVE$CO's fault) and quite frankly, the majority of Canberrans simply couldn't handle the excitment of V8's, and so chose to stay at home with a blanket, a good book and a mug of warm Horlicks.
