PAS WILL BE AT THE AHG DRIVING CENTRE

Lloyd had a major disagreement with the convention centre, and is not gonna have it there

PAS will use 1 skidpan for the show. will have approx 200 cars on there

Half the area will be undercover, the rest will be open

There will be driving events on the other 2 skidpans

There will be a big generator there for power access

Visitor parking will be out near Horrie Miller Drive

They will have shuttle buses to transport ppl from the carpark to the driving centre

The website is getting updated at the moment, and entry forms should be up by this weekend.

What a load of shit.

Sounds like this event is going down-hill fast I think we'll give it a miss this year, don't feel like standing on a skid pan all weekend

Well after the way the previous PAS was organised and run at the convention centre - anything would be an improvement. Might make it more interesting with some driving events in there as well - instead of being another 'Auto Salon' type event.

PAS has previously had driving events, but not since the drama's at Belmont have they held it at the same venue as the show. They normally run the driving events a week or two prior to the show.

I'd prefer it just to be a show n shine event. WA has a fair few driving events. PAS has survived for a long time on the loyality of Western Australians to it, but I can see it slipping now, perhaps for good. I know a fair few traders have pulled out of the event now.

Who wants their car in a tent for a weekend? Not me.

I can't understand why they don't have it at the Dome in Burswood I am sure they had it there several years ago... but with all the stuff ups that were at the Perth Convention Centre I am not surprised and somewhat pleased that they are not having it there... the Centre management changed the rules and enforced so many changes on the day that I think Lloyd was probably unfairly targeted as to being at fault...

I am sure that there must be more venues in Perth that could cater for 150+ cars and large crowd numbers maybe the answer for the organisers is to go back to the begining and keep it a bit more simpler like make it a 1 day event instead...

That would be because the Burswood Dome is closed down for good.... haven't you read the papers about concert organisers complaining there are no big venues left in Perth?

[thrtytwo]

yeh they cant have concerts theyre anymore cos theyre building a new little apartment village thing right next to it and they think the noise will disturb the poor east perth rich people. Theyre either building a new centre or re-furbishing the old chanel 7 entertainment centre near the train station. Either way it sucks !

lol.... sorry I did not know that they were closing it down... thats bloody typical.... as far as reading newspapers no sorry I don't newspapers are so full of bad news and crap the only thing that I read is the cars for sale adds in the sunday times and autotrader but I guess you can't call that a newspaper.

Surely they don't hold concerts at the Perth convention centre... that place is so badly designed plus you can't have smoke machines without setting of smake alarms...

Nah they are knocking down Belmont RaceCoarse - hence why they closed down Ascot for this year to redo the track so they can race on it all next year while they are rebuilding a hoity toity belmont venue.
