Well it will end up like everything else in Australia people stop supporting and they fold, just look back over the years and see what has fallen its history.
Give it a few more year the Drags will be something you watch on TV in the USA, track are closing steady.
No more Fords or Holden's in the next few years gone to due to lack of sale which is lack of support.
Remember the Drive-Inn movies gone, lack of support and TV/videos again easier to stay home.
Australians are becoming lazy and complacent, we can only blame ourselves for this.
Whats next?

the problem with these events is theirs no track "cruising" form what i can find, if you look at other states with Powercruise, Motorvation there always packed and you very rarely hear a bad thing about it, people want to do skids, race each other or attempted to drift around a track not sit in a line to have a few seconds of fun then wait for ever to get back on and do it again

easternats was doomed the day the council started taking noise complaints from people living around a fucking race track.
thats like moving close to a train station then complaining the trains make too much noise, so cancel them all...

Actually there is track cruising supposed to be held at the calder on .
Powercruise has looked at venues down here but has not really had any good talks . As places like calder are dicking him around
( Gup said this to a guy at Summernats this year)

It does suck, I live in Benalla 10 min drive from Winton Motor Raceway.
Was devo that all of a sudden we get Easter Nats and now its taken from us
What The Hell????
And Sandown?????? Well they ran it for yrs, I used to go there when was younger with my family, was a fun day out.
Whats the world got to offer us if we dont have any car events to look forward to anymore???
I guess its unfortunate when it comes to complaints winning the argument, Piss off and live in the bush where there is just paddocks to be seen for miles and miles if u cant stand noise....
Dont ruin the fun for us Car lovers...

Easternats failed because someone doesnt pay prize money and all the big names that bring the crowds dont come.
