V8Supercars have talked alot in the last year or two about night races and how they want them but they can't be done....

...how are the Shannons Nationals able to make two night events work next year?

Looking at HRT/Walkinshaw, they may have three main series cars, but depending on race meeting they also have to take a Dunlop Series car, Cam McConville's V8 Ute, 2 seater ride car, show car etc. Often they will have a medium duty truck haul the Ute plus various other bits and pieces around...

Today's story goes.... that the V8Supercar calendar is changing dates... for the Homebush round of the series...

It appears that the HMRA has double booked the facility, with the Olympic Park Dancesport Fiesta scheduled for some of the halls on the original 29th November-1st December date

So.. it has apparently been moved... the V8's, not the dancing... to 6th-8th December instead...

No noise from anywhere official yet... but lots of people seem to know its happening. It seems someone inside VESA isnt having a good day...

Yeah, a Dance Sport sponsored Fiesta - who'd have thunk it? The grid girls & guys for that car would be pretty active you'd think.

Imagine the pre-race fanfare!

What's the big deal with sharing the dates with a dancing contest? A bit of cross-promotion couldn't hurt either party

My question was... how did the size of the V8Supercar spectacle with thousands upon thousands of spectators and participants end up as second fiddle to a DanceSport competition?

Interesting that the official website hasnt changed its calendar, and out friends at Adcafe havent picked this up yet...

I took a double take at the original calendar when there was only a week between PI and Homebush... Honestly, not a bad move to add an extra week in there.

If I were a team manager, I'd sooner give away a week in the off-season, in exchange for an extra week between two race meetings.

It would SOPA that handles the facility bookings rather than the HMRA if I am not mistaken?

The HMRA exists for the 3 day race meet a year - from memory established solely to get around the issue of SOPA opposing the event.

This may explain why the Dance Sport event got the win on the use of the date.

Is it strange that the support field for the Homebush event are full across this date change, with a seemingly official-looking notification from VESA, while the main gamers, and development series teams are yet to be told

Maybe there will be 2 events in Homebush this year

Now apparently confirmed:http://www.speedcafe.com/2013/02/21/...ercars-finale/

Date clash is not with a dance comp but with the stereosonic music festival.

I'm not sure the 'Stereosonic' crowd and the 'V8 Supercar' crowd are one and the same.

Henley singlets, fluro, fake tan and doof doof go on at Stereosonic.
