I think that other makes of cars should not be allowed to race in the Bathurst 1000. It has been a Ford/Holden icon for most of it's life. I think there will be many Bathurst fans who would not like to see overseas cars involved, how about you???

Hi April, Much as I agree with the fact that you should not have to put up with hoons and vomit etc, I just can't help it that I would hate to see the Bathurst track used for anything other than the Ford/Holden races, it is such an icon and has worlwide credibility. Like you I took my ex highway patrol car around the track and got caught out badly at the kink---I was doing 100k's when I came over the hump and found the kink just in fron of me, as I was almost airborne at the time it was a bit of a nervewracking experience. This was about 15 years ago and my wife has now got over the shock---I'm not too sure about me though. Anyway I feel for you and the townsfolk but I just love the racing there. SORRY April----Don't be mad at me.
