It is fairly obvious to me, that the theme for next years festival, Bathurst, is aiming at a completely different spectator group and competitor interest, than the present Classic/Historic bias. I am sure that the homework has gone into this, and it will be a roaring success, but our funny old race cars will be pushed further into the also ran class. Well thats ok, cos I think there are other tracks and meetings we could support, and that is why I asked the question a while ago......did the current owner of HD get the NZFMR brand as part of the track deal ??? If he didnt, then it could relocate to somewhere else with a more user friendly attitude to our class of cars. Do I sense some disappointment in Dales carefully worded piece above..........I dont blame him after all the work that has gone into building the meeting up.
