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...

The 2013 ALMS race at Laguna Seca has been moved from May 18 to 11. That will allow them to race at Austin

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... |

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 |

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.

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. |
