even if the FA18 flypass before the race is a bonus
but

What do I think? I think the island is a great track, it's just too bad its in fuggen Victoria. If they move it to Sydney, I won't have to drive through Melbourne to get to it and there is the off chance that it might actually be sunny.

[Smitty]

huh...???
another bloody bug

the poll has disappeared

[JetPilot]

Well your going to find that most ppl love the Island, from here or Mel, but the Sydney ppl would love to have it here so we dont have to go soooooo far. OYeah & it might be sunny too, with a decent temp to go with it.
1 for Sydney.

PI AND EC sounds good to me.
Why does it have to be OR?

[MadKaw]

I never went when it was at E.C.. It just wasn't a holiday..
Haven't missed a year at P.I.

[robracer]

Went to 2 GP meetings at Eastern Creek & it was a buzz but not as much as the Island... don't care where it is held as long as we got one every year so we can cheer on our hero's... GO STONER! GO WESTY!

Yeah mate... once in 10 years, as opposed to four times a day!

[Wattie]

at the moment, we're outdoing Melbourne at everything! Even the weather!

Melbourne always reminds me of that Crowded House song. "4 seasons in one day..."

[mmamster]

Has to be PI - one of the world's best tracks - the favourite of the riders. I agree - you can have the F1 we are sick of it.

[Neka79]

*in my best little mexican boy voice* "why cant we have both"??

*ksrc chairs neka and carries him around the campsite*

2 a year would be CHOICE... spain gets 2...UK gets 2 (dont they still??)

fallacy
according to the Bureau of Meteorology
Sydneys avg annual rainfall is 1217mm
Melbourne...?
660mm
and
Melbourne has on average 143 days a year when it rains
Sydney..?147

Sydney in the beginning of the season and Philip Island in October. That would be the way to go.
Sadly PI isn't what it used to be. Over the last eight years or so the police have destroyed the atmosphere in Cowes at night. Saying that the track itself is more vistor friendly than the creek, but the creek does not have that visious wind coming off Bass Straight.
If we can't have the GP then at least give us the supers.
If Australia can only have one GP then can Sydney swap the Mardi Gras for it??
That would be fair.

i want it to saty at the island, how else can i go for a two day ride thru some of my favourite roads - and have eggplant moussaka at tintaldra
