I was in Bob Janes office just over two years ago when he said he had heard that Jon Davison would be getting the flick from Sandown. At that point he said lets ring the MRC and see if it’s true. He did and the MRC man said they still had a way to go with Jon Davison contract and that they would be intending to honour and renew the contract for another term.
It sounds like Bob know what is happening at the MRC before they do. Usually not always, were there is smoke there is fire, does Mr Calderwood know Steve Chalker? |

If the Sandown 500 is to be the final race then the MRC are in a big hole with the GT Championship boys. They have an enduro scheduled for the first weekend in December!

MRC aren't really going to be doing much, other than making sure that the track and facilities are ready for whatever event is on. Next years 500 will be promoted by IMG/VESA Events, just like they do with Tassie, PI, Bathurst and which ever other events they run.
As for Historic, that's being looked after by VHRR and the GT500 is being look after by the Aus GT group. Exact words from the horses mouth as I have been told, the MRC are leaving the organization of officials, emergency services and so on to the client who rents the circuit. |

Which, strategically further distances them from certain obligations under the OH&S Act. |

I once heard a comment that if they plugged up the leaks, the Thunderdome could be flooded, and made into a ski park ! What about a fish farm ? |

Looking at the pic of the return road at turn 1, one hopes that it is now a fact that it will NEVER be used whilst cars are on track, for now the officials have nowhere to go when a vehicle uses the return...... Or would that come under an OH&S forum? |

Well there is much talk in horse racing about Sandown and the ending of motor racing at the track.

OMG!
Horse Flu found at Sandown. The whole place has been locked down tight. No cars, vans, trucks allowed to leave the property. All spectators, drivers, officals and fans had to wash their shoes before they could leave. The knuckle draggers had to wash their hands too. I hope we can get the cars and transporters out before Bathurst. Brighty was allowed to take his car home. Horse Flu cant be caught by a dog. |
