It's impressive the crowds are still strong at Bathurst and elsewhere.

The ticket prices certainly do not help:

General admission
From $200*** Available. 4-Day.

$200 !!!!

I found it curious the gates no longer open at 7.30-8am, but rather at 9am. Which has no doubt displeased some family attendees.
You cant please everyone can you? I would rather stab myself in the eye than watch a Robbie Williams concert. The Hilltop Hoods on the other hand are brilliant. It's a swan.....

The random quoted in the ABC article said:
"the event was "getting quite disappointing". "Bring back the utes, the stunt drivers, the Aussie [Racing] Cars, the Harley drivers parade, keep the stadium trucks, change race time back to how it was and open the gates earlier," she wrote.

Superutes are awful.
A Harley parade is, oh I dunno words fail me. Cant you just go and watch the middle aged accountants getting their coffee on Sunday morning?
Stadium trucks are great if you are ten years old.
The only times that matter are broadcast times in the eastern states.
Why would you want to take your family there at 7.30am???
