From AFR.com Breaking News:
(http://afr.com/articles/2004/05/13/1084289799405.html) V8s cement Bathurst future May 13 13:19 AAP The future of V8 Supercar racing's premier event, the Bathurst 1000, has been guaranteed for the next 20 years under a new deal signed on Thursday. Bathurst City Council and V8 Supercar racing's governing body AVESCO have agreed a 10-year contract with a 10-year option for the annual event. The long-term partnership secures the future of the race at Mount Panorama when it was under threat of being moved to its original site at Phillip Island, or offshore. Today's announcement comes on the heels of a $10 million Federal Government contribution in Tuesday's Budget towards the revamp of Mount Panorama's run-down facilities. A new pit lane complex, improved spectator facilities and 400 extra camp sites are among the plans for the facelift of the Mount Panorama track. AVESCO chairman Tony Cochrane said his company would promote the race itself through its AVESCO Events arm. Bathurst Mayor Kath Knowles said work on the first stage of Mount Panorama's redevelopment was ahead of schedule and would be completed in time for this year's race from October 7-10. Stage one includes 36 pit garages, a new control tower, media centre and corporate suites. "Race teams, sponsors and other key stakeholders can see that the serious commitment being made to bring the race facilities up to a standard that more accurately reflects the reputation of this world class event," she said. |

If the last pit lane was only good for 17 years, what makes the new one good for 20?

When has it been rumoured to move to Phillip Island? Especially as AVESCO have rejected it twice within a year. |

To any race fan Bathurst IS motor sport. I’m sure nobody here is interested in our historic buildings, manufacturing industry or vineyards. Therefore on this forum Bathurst and motor racing is one and the same. “Pushing Bathurst” ?……..may be I am, but like I said, I’m only responding to what’s posted. You bag it, I’ll defend it. Look, Bathurst got the grant, learn to live with it and move on. If you want the money spent on a particular part of the circuit, write to BCC and tell them what you would like to see done. They might surprise you and listen. |

Actually colinbond, there are a lot of people here who are totally passionate about the sport, who want to see it do well, to take pride in its successes and share its failures.
A lot of it has to do with people's views about things in the sport not happening how they would like them, and there may be a form of 'non-positivity' about particular issues primarily because they can see ahead, see the ramifications of particular courses of action, and intimate that there is a rocky road ahead. That someone is sarcastic, bordering on negative does not imply that they dont care, in fact its usually the opposite that is true... |

As far as I am concerned, this particular motor racing enthusiast wants a lot more than to sit on my backside watching cars flash by for 24 hours, so I hang around the bottom of the circuit and stick my face into the back of pit bays during stops, so I can hear first-hand the actual goings on between team members, and also keep a close eye on the timing screens to be closely aware of increasing or diminishing gaps between various competitors. Sorry if this disqualifies me from being a "real" enthusiast. |

If you want to talk motor sport, particularly B24 I’ll be happy to exchange (positive) views with you. If you want to discuss funding for hospitals, bad roads or childcare this is not the place. BTW, I’m a great admirer of Colin Bond. His name brings back many fond memories. |

No one is attacking any one. It seams to me you’re the one that’s looking to create dissent by dragging up something that happened days ago. I could go back through this thread a pick plenty of “attacking” instances as you call them. But what’s the point? Every one concerned (myself included) has put it behind them and moved on. However, if you feel that I “attacked” you personally in some way, I apologise. Now, what’s your favourite form on motor sport? What’s your favourite track? What do you think of the B24? |

Lets just make sure we dont get overly critical of people posting here colinbond, otherwise nobody will say anything, i thank you for your moderating work here, but don't make me remind you about Winton Lowndes and Murphy.

Um actually, all I see is a load of vim and vigour, much of it directed at individual posters.
It will not continue. This thread goes back to the dustbin from which I retrieved it, and retrieve it I did against my better judgeemnt, but at the request of a number of posters. Start a new thread if you want to, if there is new news that doesnt say one poster is wrong without substantiation. Otherwise, this one goes the way of the dodo for the 2nd time! |
