Vast reduction in meets though, compared to 20-30 years ago.
I remember when they used to have a v8 cup there featuring the likes of the Holden commodore

Some people don't have the brains they were born with - "hey I'll buy this house next to a race track, wait, whats all this noise?!" :wtf:
The best are the mansions built near wastewater treatment plants. Most town councils have little sympathy for their complaints. Tough shyte Mr. Millionaire!
