Avalon Motorsport Complex

[DJ Davey G]

Hi All,

Who wants an international standard race track and motorsports facility at Avalon?

The debate is hotting up and the more public support this gets, the more likely the Government and private business is to fund it.

Some potential plans for the track and complex have been drawn up and they look awesome - check them out at this Facebook page and be sure to 'Like it' to show your support.

Cheers

Dave

Where is the debate exactly?

I only ask as the FB page has only "7" likes... Not much of a debate.

Umm, I didn't say anything about the debate being on the Facebook page - I just said this was where the information on the track was. The general 'public debate' is what I was referring to.

Go easy on me - I'm just trying to create a bit of public support and a space for people to share ideas - the page has only been live for two hours, so 7 likes isn't bad so far!

Yeah, fair enough.

To be clear, SAU has no links with this page and nor does any other organization - it's just an attempt to draw together the information that is out there and create some awareness about the proposals for the circuit. Nothing more than that.

Have a look and if you like it, 'Like' it, if you don't then don't.

Cheers

(Apologies that the SAU logo image was left over from developing the page: it has been removed now. The SAU track images were an idea that the club could sell/give as decals to people who participated in track days and were not related to that page)

i reckon something on the motorkhana scale would be a good thing to try and get off the ground. Small enough that it would be feasible, and then once that is shown to be a sucess, you leverage that to push for a more comprehensive facility closer to urban centres.

thats a big step from a dirt motokana to the 200 mill they estimating for the complex.....

Sounds like another Motorvate..... i.e. fail

But, it would be good to have another Quality motorsport complex in Vic... other than Philip Island which is eleventy billion miles away...but worth the trip

I dunno though, with the backing of CAMS this one may have a bit more behind it, but I'd imagine the $200m might be a problem given that the state Government are broke. It just needs someone in there who can visualise the potential and realise that there is a gap in the list of world class sporting venues in Melbourne.

We live in hope!
