or: I think that unlike HMC, many of our cars are neither fast enough, noisy enough nor dramatic enough to appeal to Joe public, even though race finishes might be close and grids are well supported. Certainly much better than the 10 Suzuki Swifts or 12 V8 Utes I half watched on TV3 Sunday. We don't condone dodgem car tactics either, which is probably what the much of the crowd like to see. At that level, apart from the tyre smoking drama of Muscle cars, the average punter doesn't seem to be all that interested in the cars themselves.
