Rob - We are forced to race on streets as our permanent tracks (Oran Park and Phillip Island excluded) are so ordinary.
The problem with that, as Ray has often stated, is that while all these races on street circuits are sprouting up everywhere, the local racetracks are becoming more and more worn out, there is no incentive to upgrade them, and will, more than likely disappear in the future. This would be a sorry state of affairs for motorsport at a grass roots level.
I enjoy watching street races as much as the next bloke. Adelaide, Gold Coast and Melbourne are fine as they allow (some) room for V8s. Tracks like Canberra aren't suitable. If the organisers continue to favour street races, they must also look after the permanent circuits.
