As at December 2009, it is more likely that ASBK will compete at WSBK in February.

When we looked at going to Tassie for the Aussie titles a few years back it was going to cost $5500 minium for rider passenger & a crew of 4 for 3 dayz

[Glen]

Tasmanians have two of everything anyway ie Heads, Little fingers, Big Toes so why not rounds of the Aussie supers.....

[Six Addict]

Surely this has something to do with Terry oneil teaming up with the ardc to sanction his new fx series? Either way it's fucked to not hold an event in the country's biggest city I think...

[MadKaw]

Depends on who you listen too..
Terry Oneal suggests it has nothing to do with him and is a decision by the ARDC. It is has been stated Kronski (ASBK promoter) has burned some bridges, one being the ARDC the other being the owners of Mallala...
We'll probly never know the real story..

[rooster]

Where's the road captain I bet he has some inside goss

[greenmeanie]

3 rounds in Qld ......excellent! ........too bad we don't have a decent track!

[simidau]

We have a track, with corners and excitement.. it's called Morgan Park Mind you the supers only need 3rd gear. hahaha

If your Govt hadn't spent $30m on the V8 street circuit maybe you'd have more tracks to use..................same goes for your track days!
