One or two club/state race meetings a year would help to amortise the cost and offer significant benefits to the town, as clubbies buy all their stuiff locally, they don't get it from tenders in Sydney or Melbourne.

Hi David,
By 2006 Mt. Panorama will be able to hold up to five full meetings per year.
If a promoter wants to run a club/state race meeting and can come up with the necessary cash there is nothing to stop him/her from doing so.
I don’t know what sort of money is involved but I doubt a club/state meeting would generate enough income to make it viable.
The only way I can see clubs getting a go at the Mount is if they can persuade the promoter of a bigger event to invite them.
This is only my opinion and I stand to be corrected.
I don’t know, perhaps all the club racers could pool their resources and get behind Ross Palmer to help him promote the B24 provided the got a day’s racing in the lead up to the main event.
