Ok. I'll take you seriously when you pay attention. The reason for 2 events in the smaller stadium is that it was QLD turn to host 2 events. When NSW hosts 2 events then there is more opportunity to fit more people in. Calm down. Speak about what you know...not what you think you know. |

As for costs of a venue, in any sport, whether it be V8s, Football, Cricket, Tennis, I suggest you research and have a look at some costs. At a bare minimum for club league sports we look at about $10,000 to hire a location for a season (in cricket at least, I play but the organisers don't hold back the cost 'secret') I would accept it if you even asked your local clubs as that is what I consider some research, ask your local raceway how much they pay to operate it, I don't know the exact operation number for my local track as I don't get involved in that, couldn't care less about managing cost myself as it isn't my area, but it needs to be looked at by someone. I would imagine it isn't cheap, after all, most tracks are paying around about $1 million to keep up to CAMs specification according to speedcafe. Its all fine and good to sit there and say this beats this, but when you look into it further, costs, all those things are a contributing factor. My experience in years 9 and 10, 13 and 14, I went to the Football for a trip. In both years, numbers weren't that spectacular at Suncorp stadium, it was a regular game but close to the end of the season, and there was no more, probably less then you'd see at Clipsal or Townsville V8s. |

anyway Pirtek Enduro cup starts this week.
We can discuss SOG in some other thread Betting is in for Sandown. JW is the fav, then SVG & SML I know there are a lot of Stanaway fans here, so he is at $51 (or $9 for a place) (and $19 for top Ford) Last edited by peckstar; 10 Sep 2017 at 09:20. |

If Jamie doesn't balls Bathurst he and Lowndes will be a threat for the cup, Mostert, McLaughlin and Coulthard, however I think that will be for minors.
I don't think that Richie and Cam though will be there, not this year at least, nor will Bright and Jacobson. Hopefully PRA focus on Frosty and Chaz who are in contention for a top 5. Too many strong combinations though, my opinion on strong combinations is: Whincup/Dumbrell SVG/Campbell Winterbottom/Canto McLaughlin/Premat Coulthard/D'Alberto Mostert/Owen Lowndes/Richards Reynolds/Youlden (Dark horse for me) Davison/Webb 9 possible and very likely cars there I'd dare say. Very competitive ENDURO season coming up |

Anyway, given we are headed into the ENDURO season, I thought I would just leave this here for all you Holden and Triple 8 fans, while I have a lot of respect for Jamie, I cant help but find this funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y87Rd9oEb20

Yes indeed, both did their part in screw ups. Looking back now, I can see how Jamie thought the move was on, just a shame he lost it, would have been a good finish

My honest hopes for this years Bathurst podium is Lowndes, Frosty and Chaz. Lowndesy deserves a few more as does Frosty, and Chaz reminds me of Craig around the mountain

Then there was this one. I still remember that, was on my way home that afternoon when I got the message that Chaz was in the fence and hurt, first thing I wondered was what the hell did he do, then saw the replay, very lucky boy and a credit to the cars |

Sounds like maybe other states do give two stuffs Origin has never been to WA Quote:
Tell that to all the media and TV bosses who give mountains more airtime & page space to Origin or a normal weekly round of the AFL or NRL than Bathurst gets for one event a year, and tell them that not as many people as they think are into football. |

Very lucky, the other thing was the marshalls, I saw them get thrown and knew that wasn't goo either. But, as all of us know, that's racing, we push our cars and we will crash, thankfully hasn't happened with the group I am in. I don't know about other racers, but its something that you try not to think about, obviously it is a possibility, but I find if you don't have time to think, about that, you push the car and with all the elements, heat, tyres, dust, rain, whatever it be, your always busy

Going into the final round, the top 7 in the Cup have scored 3 out of the votes (Coulthard with 2, Chaz 1)
Guess most of us are not great tippers |
