They did, for a while ... from the article:
"A dabble in GT racing followed in late 2015, running an Aston Martin for two events out of a downsized shop in Ormeau, Queensland, under the new Ross Stone Racing banner." "It’s a far cry from the 60-strong workforce the Yatala workshop hosted in 2012 before the Erebus takeover. Erebus leased the building from Stone before the team moved to Melbourne at the end of 2015 and, with a short-term tenant recently vacating, the time was right for RSR to move in." |

Well if you go to a race you do indirectly pay for the supports as it's part of the event you're buying a ticket for. That is if you go that is. |

Clearly the point being, speed isn't directly related to entertainment like you constantly belittle people with. |

So the question begs; how does their board configure their financial year?

Wow that's pretty solid.
I just wonder if the action will get anywhere near as spectacular as the V8Utes were. I had the joy of being over in Texas with one of my buddies, and after watching the Supercars at COTA, went looking for more Aussie racing and went crazy for the utes - loved the sound and the taily action of them... But the tradies are driving Mazdas & Mitsubishis now... |

The market for these type of vehicles has changed significantly and hopefully might create some interest. Let's hope so. |

It was a series based on the 1980's American "mini truck" series, from memory they used Glenn Ridge as a celebrity spearhead, I think it only ran for one year, if that, failed to garner much interest, everyone was much more interested in the v8 touring cars and the "wild" Sports Sedans of the era.
