I liked the track but I reckon the people who owned the whole circuit always held it for the day they could sell it off for development. I reckon the owners spent the absolute minimum there - I think they have had the track since the 60's and have virtually done nothing facilities wise other than upgrading the pits and setting up a corporate area - and they probably were forced to do that to keep the V8's going there!

The toilets and grandstands remained as built from day one with no additions, The food stalls virtually unchanged and behind the grandstands - you guessed it all dirt roads and a real mess when it rained. So I miss the actual track but the people who owned it were just money sucking grubs and did nothing for the patrons who continued to trudge each year to the track.
