Yea quite possibly......... but its an ill wind which blows no-one no good at all.DJR are beneficiaries of the backlash and hopefully the better second tier motor racing categories too.

I support the driver. Not what car he is driving.

I was watching the v8 utes Friday night, god its entertaining. First time Ive watched it and after they were done I asked myself why I ever watched the v8's. The sound and the look (theyre not overly done but enough to be fast) and the slides were awesome.

Each car will only be as good as the group effort makes it.

I'd love to see that happening.
To be honest, I'd love to see an equivalent of the US 24 hour lemon race started here. Cheap racing, and entertaining too:

I stopped watching the V8's ages ago.Club level motorsport is good to watch,maybe get involved at the grass roots level as it's pretty cheap and you don't need specially prepped cars.It's more fun having a go than watching.

Nah man its all good, hes built a new car.

We built that 69 many years ago to run in NC so it isnt perfect for a biante car. Think the new car is a falcon.

Yes the full Nc spec cars are no longer competitive.

Train Racing

Chain 3 cars together, steering and accelerator in the front car, steering and brake in the rear car and race them on a figure 8 track

Only in America

Holy crap that's wacky

They even have to give way to each other on the cross roads on the track

Although when I saw your post I was picturing the Indian Pacific racing a freight train or some such...
