Rachel Richards should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I think a lot of you need to take a deep breath....Icy roads, cant drive B doubles...., there are other forms of racing in this country you know.


From a quiet convo I had back in November, I am led to believe that chasing The V8 Supercars isn't exactly what this place is about.

The business plan claims the circuit used more than 300 days a year, with an economic boost to the region of more than $10 Million per-annum.

With both Eastern Creek, and Wakefield booked out up to 6 months in advance, i'd say it's a good chance of being more than viable, and not just from a catchment of 50 km around: try 250 Km and see where get.

Some of the names associated are quite well established businessmen in the area, and have the means to make it happen.

Let's hope it flies, but either way, don't drop terds on it just yet !
