PROCAR shut down

[Duncan]

Well, sad news, the evil super taxis have won. One week after apparently very poor crowds at Oran Park, Procar have shut down:

And, in brilliant hypocrisy, CAMS say they are sad to hear of this:

Also, I hope Aaron McGill and Pete Conroy can find somewhere to race now, hopefully they will come to combined touring for the NSW state champs....

That is very disapointing to here

I can only hope that another promoter can take over the reigns and continue the good work were procar left off

[Duncan]

yeah, but unfortunately I think cochrane will pick up the brutes for the v8 supercircus, F3 may go on the konica supports, but that leaves Nations Cup, GTP and the future racers in deep trouble.

At least most of the nations cup cars can race in state sports cars or be sold overseas, but it looks like the end of the line for the mongrel monaros. GTP cars I guess can race in state production cars like combined touring

A very sad demise, it leaves us with only 2 national promoters, v8 supercars (13 rounds) and konicas (6 rounds)

Over powered taxi cabs would be good if they were actually made buy the company they pretend to be made buy.

Cept then we would be quicker in our road cars around the track!

hmmm- how many of us went to a procar round in nsw?

[Majanal]

oh shit... bad question... I had bette go hide in the corner!

[Kel]

i think we are all prolly guilty of that one

[Majanal]

oh good, I don't feel so bad now!

Procar isnt dead. The Sandown round is still on. I think they are restructuring. Still, that may just be delaying the obvious. 24hour will be a loss as well.

[Duncan]

yeah I heard Sandown track would promote the round themselves, presumably some other tracks will also try theis and hope they make money where Procar couldn't....
