    says a lot for the safety equipment the supercars have nowadays. If this happened 20 years ago, not sure the result would've been the same.

    The only "other crap" left racing now is the Nissans and the likelihood of one of them winning is probably pretty slim. And if we're really being serious, the Holdens and Falcons are hardly Holdens and Falcons.

    The Torana hatchback in the masters race hit in around the same place but front on, probably a little bit slower but still incredibly fast and the driver survived ok. The Hazelwood crash was huge, but probably looked a lot worse because the car spun around in circles and spat panels off everywhere.

    It won't exist before too long so won't matter what we call it.

    car 75 excluded for stupid rule. They should apply a percentage to final tally of laps, not scheduled no of laps.

    This is the most recent article I can find about Sandown's future, from 1 Year ago, still open ended...

    http://www.supercars.com/news/championship/supercars-set-to-race-at-sandown-until-2019/


    This from July 2016, but this is all only Subjective Speculation nothing more... nothing confirmed as usual!!!...

    http://www.smh.com.au/sport/motorsport/motorsport-motoring-bodies-sure-that-sandown-will-close-20160701-gpwn5f.html


    Seen any other more recent articles on Sandown's future?




    Sandown should be Heritage Listed and protected!!!...... from ever being redeveloped into a Jerry Built, High Density Housing Getto......

    Sandown (not the tarmac racing circuit obviously, completed in 1962) has been around since 1888....... Only 129 years...

    Found this little Sandown history snipet...


    "Racing commenced at Sandown in 1888, but was abandoned in 1891 before recommencing in the early twentieth century (MRC). After World War I, pressure from the State Government and the VRC forced private clubs to

    close or become non-proprietary (HV). Racing at Sandown ceased by 1931. Other metropolitan courses that had closed down by the 1940s were Ascot, Williamstown and Richmond.

    However, Sandown re-opened in 1965

    "The first car motor race in Australia, the Voiturette event, first of 3 races on the day, 12 March 1904 , Sandown Racecourse......"


    "Harley Tarrant tears down Sandown Racecourse back straight in his Argyll to win the 3 mile race ‘for heavy automobiles’ on 12 March 1904…

    Runner-up of the event organised by The Automobile Club of Victoria was Tom Rand’s Decauville, Tarrant’s average speed, 26mph for the 3 miles in a time of 6 minutes 55 seconds."





    "Harley Tarrant left, Argyll 10HP and Tom Rand Decauville 16HP 2nd. Sandown Racecourse, 12 March 1904..."



    "Three motor contests were run at the ‘Commercial Travellers Association’ annual picnic at Sandown Racecourse on 12 March 1904…

    Melbourne weekly ‘The Australasian’ reported the event in its 19 March 1904 issue in the formal and amusing language of the day.

    The Automobile Club of Victoria’ had another good turnout last Saturday in response to an invitation from the Commercial Travellers Association to be present at their annual picnic on the Sandown Park Racecourse.

    Around 1400 people attended in total.

    Upwards of 25 cars left Alexandra Avenue (South Yarra, a distance of about 25Km) and proceeded at a leisurely pace via St Kilda, Caulfield, Oakleigh and Springvale. During the afternoon the number of cars swelled to 85,

    while there were more motor cycles as well. The road was in a terribly dusty state.


    At the course the conditions were more enjoyable. The three motor contests were watched with interest by the picnickers, the ladies especially evincing much enthusiasm.

    The presence of a neat electric car in which were seated 2 ladies, one of whom handled the motor with the skill of an expert, aroused the admiration of the gentlemen and the envy of the ladies. It was indeed a novel sight

    and will go a long way to removing the impression existing that an automobile is difficult to manage.


    It may now be confidently stated that automobilism has caught on, and it will be found that with such persistent and persevering advocates as women-folk can be when they desire anything, their gentlemen friends will

    capitulate and procure cars. (very delicately put, cars and anything else!)


    After the races were over the cars were rushed by all the ladies; all wanted a ride around the course and the drivers had a busy time for an hour or more’"





    "Nine out of 16 entries faced the starter in the Voiturette race. There was some delay owing to a false start but an interesting race resulted. Receiving a 500 yards start, Crooke was first in 3 min 55.5 seconds from Kellow from the 50 yard mark in 4 mins 2.5 seconds’.

    The Australasian does not report the order in which the contests were held, but ‘The Age’ does, see below...

    It was James Robert Crooke who won the first four wheel motor contest/race in Victoria and Australia at Sandown…"










    All text above I have quoted, I found on the Sandown Racecourse history above...

    Sandown 100% deserves Heritage Listing and protection.... for it's Undeniable Historical Significance......
