Will you go to Hamilton race if Tony cochrane pulls thin pin on V8s in NZ. He has stated that Hamton Downs is not viable due to track length and travel times for the corporates and Pukekohe needs to much upgrading. Tracks currently in use in Oz are shorter and Hampton is closer than Hamilton to Auckland and only 10 min further than pukekohe was. If he has the nuts to pull the pin before the next race is held ,would you still attend. Remember there is no NZ promoter and V8SC are paying this time .Im guessing he will wait untill after the NZ round before he pulls out to avoid a boycoutt of the round . Your thoughts NZ!

Like always, TC is blowing smoke to see who will come up with the best deal for him.
I expect there will be another round announced to follow Hamilton and it will probably be near the end of the season in 2013. HD appears the most likely, but I guess we will see.

Hampton has already got resource consent to extend the circuit to accomodate the V8SC, & the last thing I heard was it is a high possibility that they will in fact end up at Hampton because they can have it done by 2013.

Been to Hamilton every year, next one will be no different, getting tickets tomorrow. Dead line is May next year from what I understand, that's why Hampton Downs is not putting their bid in till early next year, Tony(Hampton) is a very driven man, hell he's got this far with the track.

Hampton Downs is the only place it can go to but the track needs to be lengthened to accommodate all the people as in its current state it only has a consent for 20 thousand. Counties Racing Club at Pukekohe don't want it there. I can't see another street race happening anywhere it just costs to much to set up. I hope HD gets it, such a fantastic track.

tony cockrane is a tosser the sydney supercar race may also pull out due to cost overuns its nicknamed the taxpayers500 over there and v8 supercars is even threatening to can bathurst if the government doesnt put more money in for security/policing. they seem to want taxpayers to subsidise there bussiness and i think we should just tell them to p!# off i love supercars but not at taxpayer expense when the racing is better and cheaper at race tracks
