Guys we can dance around and around to try and discover the reason behind this venue being successful, location, layout, surface, racing calendar are all major factors IMO, most of what could be fixed has been fixed but possibly not when it was required. What we need to do is celebrate what we have/had, and make sure we give the Auswide boys a good send off. With no EC racing this weekend, i hope all will make the effort and get out there at some point this wekend, if not to attend the racing on Friday night.
ScottyP was right, Hurstville had similar distance issues for those of us not living in the South, if i had not been working in Parra (with a car space) there would have been no chance i could have ever gotten over there during the week.
