if they did the upgrade they were at least some sort of chance...

Bugger upgrading EC. I want PI to keep the race - I'd miss the annual road trip!

But if they did have some funds to spend on a racetrack, build another one within a reasonable distance of Sydney FFS! One track for the whoel of Sydney??? Doesn't make sense - there's too much demand and not enough supply

If they build the track at Avalon and we can't get the Supers, Mike and Me will be devastated

I for one would be pissed with a capital P if they moved WSB or motGP to the Creek. Apart form the island being a much better track I wouldnt be able to ride on some of the best roads in the country sampling culinary delights.
