    In a few hours the race will begin. My wife, son, daughter-in-law, and my daughter are all there. Me, I am at my home and will watch it on the tube.

    Rats.

    May it be a great race.

    The organisers seem to think theres a fair chance of that money building the track at Avalon.

    There's been enough of our tax payers money spent no sporting grounds.

    I'd like to see some investment in facilities for young kids to take their cars where they can have fun, drags, burnouts etc in a safe environment.

    A skid pan so their first slide isn't in rain on a busy road. Let them learn to correct without lives being on the line if they're slow getting the hang of it.
    Back in the day I had empty wet supermarket parking lots and dirt sub-divisions to hang it out in for years before being old enough to get a license.

    If they really gave a damn about driving safety rather than revenue.

    Did she call me today?

    I had a missed call today earlier on. I didnt hear the phone ringing in my pocket. :D:D

    Dont know who it was, didnt ring back. Perhaps it may have been Mrs Bart? :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    They reckon they had over 110,000 people there today. I dont know HOW the AGP does not make money. :eek::eek:

    Especially with $4.50 bottles of Pepsi and $8.50 hotdogs etc.etc. :eek::eek:

    Oh, and $4.50 Cornetto ice-creams. :(:(

    What we are talking about here is tourism money, they are going to spend it on something that promotes tourism in Victoria, not hospitals and playgrounds, bottom line is if they drop the GP they will try and get something else, maybe a yacht race or the world ping pong championships or spend 50mill on American TV ads (shrimps on barbies and all that) the money IS ALLOCATED TO TOURISM so its a GP or Lara Bingle ads!!

    110,000 people actually isn't a lot of people for an international motor racing event.

    The V8 race in Adelaide gets around 80,000 people on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Melbourne should not only get more because it has more people but also because it is an international event.

    Monaco only gets 37000 ;)



    The lower numbers could be because the race is on @ 5pm. They should just bite the bullet and make it a night race.

    80,000 people EACH day? :eek::eek:

    Townsville broke V8 Supercar records for attendance back in 2009 and it only had 160,000 over the 3 days. ;);)

    You're dreaming! :D:D

    Cheers! :D:D

    Wake up to yourself! :D:D

    Thats right, I wonder how many through the gates over the 4 days? :):)

    I was suprised at how many people were there on practice day Friday. :D:D
