I was there
I was a regular Nascar fan at the Thunderdome downunder.
Early on Bob Jane (the promoter, builder/owner of the facility, almost a Penske like figure in Australian motorsport on & off the track) bankrolled cars from the States but this petered out & the local teams provided some good racing. Politics played a part in the demise of the racing but I do not know the detail - lots of rumour, no fact. The final season saw the main race finish under yellows too often, & it was symptomatic of the way racing finished. |
