Bite my head off here but, could you guys be being a tad selfish here. Just a tad. I was watching RPM yesterday and they made a very good point. If a street race gets more people to the races, surely that must be a good thing. I know channel 10 are not going to want to upset AVESCO, but I can't see a negative of more people attending race meetings. Maybe everyone's views here are influenced by the fact that they participate in club racing etc. Just a thought.

Tracks like Canberra are not in the interests of fans, but if it can be done correctly.....

Having said that, I do realise that the permanent tracks and grass roots motorsport definitely do need greater financial support. As a former participant in the ultimate grass roots motorsport (karting), I can completely recognise the need for more money.

Seeing as street races are SO cheap, and they attract SO many more fans (according to AVESCO), thus making more money - perhaps some of the money made from such races could go into the funding of racing at lower levels and permanent circuits? Ha! I'd like to see that Mr Cochrane.
