We ask why our outings to such events in Australia are fraught with price hikes, and forget about professional indemnity insurance costs that generally protect us from this kind of thing...(assuming)..... :Shocked:

Yes I remember we went to the (I think) 2005 Dog in a Ute rally at Corrigan,on the pre parade festivities there was a MT doing demo's where we were all mustering,doing small jumps over the corner of a dam,doing pop wheelies and the crowd was just all standing around where he was doing all these stunts,stupid thing was a lot of us were commenting if he had lost control he could've run a fair few people over before he stopped,the even dumber thing was none of us moved back :scared:

Post by: Zoom on October 15, 2013, 07:54:06: I think that with all motor sports there is a certain following. e.g. Drags = Ferrals, Super Cars = bogans, F1 = super bogans. LOL i just made a new word! :Shocked:...can of worms opened....

Seriously though I find all motor sports an amazing feat of engineering and technical genius. I especially love the craziness of the Isle Of Man TT, there is a Hi Def movie out about this race, mind blowing... :)
