Ah Richard my mate, i thought you might venture here, it is street racing, circuit, does that make sense, i am not very noise tolerant Karen, i don't think i could handle it, it is pretty noisy here and i am quite a way from it, but hearing it ,does make it exciting, my son is coming down on sunday for the big final race,he got a ticket at the last minute, he was bummed out though as his sister firm got given corporate box tickets, he nearly got some but missed out, he is getting a free ride down in the bureau van, but they are off to the corporate box whereas he has just a General Admission and pit pass,never mind maybe next year, i will be in my corporate box here at home watching it on the telly with all my comforts.

Melissa was in town yesterday and she got a wee look over the barriers, said it was pretty kewl, she liked seeing the flames under the cars lol.

Well we have secured it for the next seven years here and are hoping to get more if we can, so it is all good,hopefully the city will benefit from it.

Seems like V8 Supercar is the NASCAR of Australia and New Zeland.

Here's a *link* to the Hamilton Race on Sunday >>>

Thanks for posting the link, to say it was a huge success is an under statement, it is going to be better and bigger next year, i am a holden fan, and was thrilled holden won the overall event, i am not sure though, i think it may have been an aussie guy who won, ah well can't win them all, yes we don't like to be beaten by the aussie's, a healthy rivalry goes on between the two countries, some of it in good fun, some of it not, but i like my aussie friends, and treat it as a bit of fun myself.

My son ended up in the corporate box for a short time, not sure how he winged that one, but will get all the details when he rings me tonight, he text me and told me he had a great time.

So yes looking forward to the event next year,lots of fun.
