Gold Coast figures will fall even more next year when they bring in these twilight races. No concerts , no draw card for a large percentage of the people that stay in many of the Motels my wifes employers look after. For the last 3 years she has spoken to the guests about their interests and very few were just the racing. Many were party (Drink) and Concerts.
General concensus was still cheap concert at race entry plus extra for music. I went in 2009, was bored sh.tless due to looking at the cars through a cage and the lack of on track action. I did not want to see the XXXX girls dancing out of time for nearly 20 minutes on the one spot. Its a bl..dy motor racing event. Bring back the racing. one class off and another on just like the old days or any well run club event. As a local it is a pain in the butt with just over 10 weeks every year of disruption to the main road in and out of Surfers. It usually adds an extra 20 minutes traveling time into Surfers and sometimes an hour at 5pm to get out past the track just as far as Australia Fair. |
