Given that the whole thing is paid by tax dollars, you'd think more people would take an interest in the event. Actually, after so many years of hosting the event, there are still lots of tourists coming into the city to check things out, so perhaps we've just got to find a way to leverage on all those foreign dollars?

Yes, taxpayers do fund this event, but given that it turns a profit each year (as far as I know) it's not a bad thing.

Run the Clipsal 500 on the full layout, even if its just for one year

I can't help myself... after twelve years, it's become tradition.

I still remember laughing my ass off about that the first time I saw it. I reckon there could be grounds for a championship based around tracks like this, wherein:

- All the cars must be either XF Falcons or VK Commodores, and must contain at least one body panel that is a different colour to the rest of the car.
- The pitstops involve the cars being up on bricks and having their wheels stolen. Instead of refuelling, replacing a half drunk slab of VB with a full one is acceptable.
- Instead of stop-go penalties, they have an RBT, where you're disqualified if your BAC goes UNDER .05.
- The pitlane is to be positioned inside a large Bottle-O.
- Drivers MUST contain readings of THC.
- Seatbelts are optional.
- Time bonuses are given for burnouts, drifts and donuts.
- Any crashes must be sorted out by a punch up.
- Cars must have either mags or steel wheels. Hub caps are allowed, but a car mustn't have more than two.
- Loud sound systems playing "Doof Doof" music are mandatory. Alternatively, Cold Chisel is also acceptable.
- The race is deemed complete once 50% of entrants are either passed out or incarcerated.

Cold Chisel would be for the classic race only.

Ah, true. I figured I'd forgotten a few of the regulations...

You got any more, Mono?
