Another reason, not to participate at this circuit and Lakeside,
Just more $$$$, why let cars onto racing circuits, that are not built for racing
There is a few ppl posting on all forms of social media to support racing at this venue.
Problem is, it is not racing, it is money for the owner who hires it out.
If it was racing, there would be required safety:
Roll cages
Fire Bombs
Racing Harness
Scrutineering to ensure it meet all safety guides
Fully maned points for safety
the list is endless,
but hey that cost money
Let any anyone who pays run,

I heard from a couple of mate involved in drag racing, that the Monaro that crashed was told they weren't welcome back at Willowbank unless they fitted the appropriate safety items as per the rules governing drag racing. This was because they were doing sub 10 second quarter miles (and sub 6.49 eights) at over 145MPh (230+kph) at the quarter. They were under the impression that the car did have a roll cage then either.
If the cars are capable of going that fast, surely they should be doing some safety checks and meet a decent standard of safety.
