No idea probably spending a bit more of that reported $8 to $10 million the state government gave them.
Hopefully they fix the dip in the track just before half way you see the quick comp cars bounce out of that dip.

You never know Cam, they might be getting a truckload of rock out from you and they will get you to drive by each pot hole and they will tip 3 pieces of gravel into each, to reduce the depth of the pothole?

My opinion is he will be getting the track all sorted for circut racing. I was there a few weeks ago and noticed the amount of work going on around the pit garages near the finish line grandstand. I reckon he is making a circut race pit area so he can get the v8 sillycars back. Drag racing will never be Bob's main priority.

If that is the case and with HPR up for sale the future of drag racing in VIC doesnt look too good

Supposed to be moving the walls in for a new CAMS licence, also moving the start line forward at some stage.
Rumour has it they ripped all the wiring up when they had the crusty demons there while moving the dirt out and it took the whole month to fix wiring.
