Trevor should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the track (from when I last heard) was quite profitable, why would they put that at risk by running a barely break-even Supercars event? The cost to promoters is huge and the return marginal

The only track where the track owner is the promoter is Winton, all other events are promoted by Supercars and it most cases propped up by (local, State or Federal) Government money

In case you missed it, Supercars makes it money from advertising, TV and sponsorship, they do NOT rely on money from the gate as probably Bathurst would be the only event where the gate is worthwhile
