well said Garth !
Thanks for that Nivola, well handled by one of the interested parties.
Glad to hear Garth mention the commercial importance of the WA market as this where the pressure on VESA will come from. The mention of Queensland Raceway was interesting given VESA changed its position once the taxpayer was involved. I think its time Shane Howard was attacked for the content of his statement, but he is being used as a stalking horse by VESA in the knowledge his replacement can go back and feign ignorance in the next salvo on the WA taxpayer. |

Those interviews don't work. Seems they have been removed?

Turns out I couldn't listen at work.
That second interview with Rick was a waste... I would have liked him to ask this Hitchcock character why they continue to go to QR and Homebush which also have third world facilities. Frustrating to watch V8 extra and hear no mention or discussion regarding this. Rick Kelly brought it up but Crompton and co conveniently ignored him. Of course we know who signs their pay cheques, but I lost respect for Crompton years ago when he stopped telling it like it is, and started towing the company line. I'd have thought it was pretty big news to cover. |

I always liked Crompton myself and thought him to be a good commentator and still do, but he's left his objectivity to the side. I lost respect for him once he started being the fawning apologist for james courtney and his orgy of destruction.

Well that'd be because Courtney also signs his pay cheques, right?
I still think he's an outstanding commentator, integrity aside. |

He is if he tells it as it is, but the self flagellation society that is the current commentary team is very tiresome, well to me anyway. If that is the standard they are pitching it at to get the "casual" race fan then heaven help us. |

Look here fellas, what do they actually do in WA apart from dig stuff up and send it to China?
The other thing is poor old Cocho has to get out of bed two hours later because we all know the sun shines out of his bum, and over in WA they are two hours behind the important part of Ozstralia! Probably have different money or currency as well. Better off taking the whole show over to middle east. Personally if I was a WA motor racing fan I would be on the V8's case, as it a bloody disgrace that something can't be put in place so that a round is held in WA. A lot of corporate support from Cat, Westrac etc in the V8's, you think they would be applying some pressure as well. Barbagallo still a great race track and just needs some dollars spent on the pits and some about another 500 metres of racetrack. |

Hey Cocho ring Prince Leonard of Hutt River, HRH might build you an Abu Dhabi or Bahrain.

Hmmmm with Hutt River's 40th anniversary coming up in April you would have thought cocho would have jumped at the chance of another international event on his calendar!

Just imagine that you owned a Billion dollar company in WA, and for sum reason you decided to become the naming sponser for the V8 SUPERCAR CIRCUS, and in the process you also sponsered a two car team fully. Then at the end of 2009 you and your company had already started to organize who you were going to take to the race meetings in 2010
Come the time for the Perth round you had organized your freinds and workers to a corprate box at Barbagello. In the mean time you have had the launch for your two car team, when you find out that the first two rounds are OS and you can not run your company logo on the car for some reason, then come the end of January you are told there will be NO PERTH race. What would you do with all the money you pumped into TC's back pocket and the 2 car team you are backing. Would you continue or pull the plug for not getting exposure for you $$. Just think about what you would do |

If you want to kick Tony in the pocket without hurting the teams organise a boycott of the Perth Motown concert brought to you by that amazing organisation SEL.
Judging by reports from those that went to the Brisbane one you will be doing anyone you persaude to stay away a favour anyway. |

Westrac a sponsor who have dollars in FPR & have cancelled their corporate stuff with the fly in from the across the mining industry (replaced by an AFL function). Then Kerrys got Channel 7, theres the West Australian, Perths only daily newspaper, National/Coates Hire. Dont worry about Coch0, its his boss that will front Channel 7, Kerry is unlikely to need to go. |

I have no doubt that all that sponsors by & large would not be happy with not going to WA - so they'd reduce their payments to the teams by the value of the race missed most likely. Not a huge problem for the teams in some ways as they don't have to bear the costs of going to the year's most expensive sprint round. I'd still much rather that the race over there was happening of course then none of this would need to be considered. |
