There's that many rumours about possible locations it's crazy. Werribee WAS one of the sites mentioned but it was literally right next door to the famous farm so it was declined.
We will know more very soon. |

Different. There are two proposals up atm for complexes around Avalon/Little River.
The drag strip is on the Melbourne side near Little River. The other complex is a circuit and is around the Lara/Avalon area, which already has the speedway and the dirt racing track.

I think they should build it at the site of the new trotting track in Melton.
It would probably help with the hoon problem there and be more successful than a trotting track.

Rumours have been going around for years, and I have seen emails ANDRA have been trying to lobby the State Government for money so they can build a track at Avalon.
Problem is it don't look good using public money to build a new drag racing track when we already have 2 tracks in Vic. If something does happen it wont start until 2012 but don't hold your breath, the games that Calder Park plays has a lot to do with the politics of this, every time there is word of another track Calder dangles a carrot then pulls it away...

being the case how and why would they want it as a international terminal it would cost a crap load to put either a fly over bridge or run a bus service to the terminal that would be at least 2-3 klm trip each way just a thought jason
