A few years ago going on a Friday was like a race day and so so busy but today was totally dead spectator wise and the Merch area was empty.
Few observation points from the day
Mobil HSV look like the poor sister with regards to Pit Facilities, Fit-out and merch area which was a small 20 ft container Merch store. Was sad to see based on previous years. Hopefully a new car supplier next might help.
Finally first time ive seen the stadium trucks live.............LOVE IT
Why would you make a new series of utes when these thing are available. Maybe its just me but I was blown away with the speed, the suspension, the racing and jumping. I loved it.
My thoughts only.

Not surprising but its similar to Townsville economic wise both heading into recessions which hurts crowds immensely. Although crowd looks up today from watching a few previous years of replays the past few years look smaller in my opinion
