Wellington Out
Posted: Tue May 17, 2005 9:01 am
Wellington has been given the royal order of the boot!! Newspaper reports in Oz say that Wellington City Council has given the proposed street circuit the thumbs down. This leaves Pukekohe as the only possibility for 2006, with no circuit in the scope for 2007!!
The boss of Avesco, Tony Cochrone, is reported by Motor Racing Jounalist Peter Mckay as saying "N.Z. has dropped off the face of the earth as far as the ch'ship is concerned" !!
Avesco has a strong preference for street circuits, and is apparantly not interested in any of the permanent venues on offer..
Any NZedders who are closer to the action might like to report on what is happening in Aoteroa!
It sounds to me like you might want to start organizing some of that "People Power" you fellas are famous for, ie The Manapouri power project etc., if you want to see Supercars in NZ, after next year. DON'T WAIT, is my advice.
