Ohh boy I have to agree. As wonderful as it would be to still have the race here, I just know it would be on tenterhooks as to whether its coming back, sustainable, worth the effort, etc.

Our appetite for motorsport was proven in those years and we have the Adelaide 500 at least.

I do remember an interview many years ago with George Harrison (from The Beatles for you young ones) who was a regular at the Adelaide GP as a guest of the McLaren F1 team.

This was in the first year of the GP in Melbourne and a reporter asked George what he thought of the event and was shocked when he responded with "It is not as good as Adelaide".

I have the recording of one of those nights, I forget exactly which one I was there. I’ll check when I’m home from work.

A buddy of mine has a spare GA ticket for tomorrow night. He paid over $300 for it, I’ll pass thanks.

I went night. Orion was an unexpected highlight.

Given how shite the weather's been, it is looking good tomorrow night with no rain and light winds

It's the wind that effs up the sound

Even the only supposedly Aussie horse in today's Malbuncup is called Half Yours, so who owns the other half?

yeah same, i was trying to remember which of the 2 dates it was. i think it was the one without sanitarium, because i remember really wanting to hear that and i think i didnt get it haha

i also remember having a great time, thinking they sounded amazing, then after listening to the recording a few times it sounded sloppy as **** lol.

Adelaide as a track wouldn't work anymore due to the size of modern F1 cars.
I still think it would have still been worth having if that wasn't an issue though. A lot of eyes on it globally. A lot of international visitors that otherwise would never think of coming here.

make them race up old willunga hill

Yep I was there on the Tuesday as well. I'll give this a listen once the kids are asleep for sure.

Saw our man Ivan being interviewed on the news tonight, enjoying the fashions and rubbing shoulders with the great and the good in the Birdcage at Flemington. They didn't talk to his 'bird' though, which may have left her miffed, unless she had an EXCLUSIVE arrangement with a different platform.

I remember that and I also remember the Victorian media wanted to rip him apart for saying it too.

I'm sure WD40 has 'removing googly eyes from public sculptures' on the list too.

Mechanic clearly didn't give it a shake and say "that's not going anywhere" after the last service
