There might be another round in the same state but Ipswich might as well be in another country going on how far apart they are from each.
Hope the event goes from strength to strength regardless of how I feel about the future of the category
Im all for government money being spent on motorsport, they waste enough on arts and other bs that I couldn't care less for. The figures spent on motorsport must pale in relation to all the other crap the government wastes my taxes on so the more the merrier. They could spend more on grass roots motorsports and club level but I digress.

Earlier in this thread I posted the official crowd numbers they were only a few thousand at most down on last year and considering the financial climate of Townsville currently that is quite good. Also as for you DRT with all due respect I don't understand your quarrels with Street Circuit Racing and government expenditure on it
