I've never been to Pukekohe but it comes up great on TV. I've heard that the facility is a bit run down but the layout produces spectacular racing and having a permanent covered grandstand is gold, no matter how tatty it may be.
I think spending money on the facility is good value, regardless of what agendas may be in force, and not just for V8 Supercars but for use for other racing too.
Surely making the place safer and saving it from oblivion is worth it when considering its historical significance. It really is the 'Sandown' of New Zealand and would be a great loss.
