Calder park here was for NASCAR, drags, V8 supercar racing ,,moto cross, and yet it lays idle most of the year

[macca]

And if its a pay for view meeting we wont get to see it.

V8SC are making a huge blunder getting in bed with pay TV, there will be a whole lot of fans that cant pay $750 per year to watch their favourite motorsport.

I'm one.

[threedogs]

Also wasnt Eastern Creek supposed to be a multi motor sport venue as well again lying idle.
I wont be paying $750 to watch V8s thats
"Un Australian" lol

Calder pk and Adelaide International Raceway both now idle only due to an old guy who in later years decided to stuff the people who made him a fortune BOB JANE

[macca]

Did wonder about that, great bloke must be living a sad life now

Eastern creek gets a bit of activity with the drive experience mobs, driver training, club racing both bikes and car also the bring your own days.

There is a drag strip and go-kart track that are used a fair bit as well.

Lots of people work there each week, full time not just race weekends.

Not all high profile but it certainly isn't idle.

where did the $750 come from?

where did the $750 come from?
Sports doesn't come in the standard subscription. That's an extra $20 a month.

Be sad if they do but its all about profit these days.

Isn't that the add on TV $50 a month plus, thought it was in the "fine print", their not hidden costs.

Bob Jane I brought his Motor bike years ago 81' Honda 1100r single seater one of 30 in Aust.
Think Bob just fights with his son now over the 'Bob Jones' brand, and his ex wife.

ahhh yeah forgot about that, I don't have normal free to air tv, so I'm on the full on package bundled with phone and internet, so completely forgot about the basic and add ons they do.......... I thought you had maybe meant foxtel main even channel where you pay and extra $15 or whatever it is for every single event.
