I've been looking at the cost of club racing in Vic. Much cheaper than here. But why???
Hartwell for eg. Less than $300 for 2 days racing at Broadford

MV own Broadford, so track hire is much cheaper. There is also the fact that Victoria has some competition between tracks to keep them from price gouging.

Yeah, but it's still cheaper to hire than the Creek. Not heaps cheaper, but enough to notice (about 30% less, give or take).

The Creek is a licence to print money. Demand far outstrips supply, so ARDC price gouge. It's criminal..... it's a public (NSW State govt) owned facility, which shouldn't hold users to ransom. That's us taxpayers that own it.

But ARDC have consistently shown to be money-hungry, politically-motivated dickheads, that are happy to screw over everyone they can.

Marshy, You have to learn to stop holding back and say what you think.
Are you heading out tomorrow?

Yeah, I'm backward in coming forward for sure.

No mate; I've pulled the pin for tomorrow due to inclement weather. Actually, I will pop out and drop off an Arrow goodie to a certain TT member with some green bike, so I'll be there at some point. You?

Doesn't NSW Gov license it to the ARDC to run? From recollection when the Gov ran it they lost money? Don't know what NSW Gov charge ARDC per year for the pleasure? You are right the few options available to Shitneysiders means ARDC charge more. How did MV get the cash to own Broady? What tracks does MNSW own ...?

99 year peppercorn lease, I think.

MNSW is working on owning a track at Nowra. At least they are doing something. MA had $10m of our money sitting in Scottish bank bonds or something equally unlikely, and you know how that turned out....

Seems the ARDC are as adept at losing money as the Gov ... maybe we are still paying off their cock ups financing V8 events ???
