While undoubtably everyone will think its "cool video bro"... one has to wonder, no barriers anywhere, kids all over the place, one father can be seen holding his kid and a camera very close to the pad, all mixed with alcohol.....
And no am not a wowser, but seriously, this is just asking for trouble isnt it??

...that's why there's not free skid pans and burnout strips everywhere like some naive people think should just be provided by councils where "the authorities" stay away and there's no "harsh rules" and "people looking over your shoulder" like at a properly run dragstrip...the death and injury toll after the first weekend would be amazing...

Whilst it's cool to see in a controlled environment (Summernats, etc) I also was thinking about the 'what if's' given that there was no fire crew, ambulance, barriers, etc...
Ok - its on private property - so I guess its not illegal. But that doesn't mean its sensible.

going back a few years (like 15) in murray bridge there used to be a bloke that had a race track on his property (reads dirt road though the scrub) heard some amazing storys, XY gt's xb coupes, XD ESP plus holdens etc going HARD, LOTS of people and lots of brews. no one ever got hurt but was urged by the council to stop. so he did. would have been amazing to see.

Looks like too much money and not enough brains.
Can't say some of those cars aren't cool though.

Why are you here ??
Go over to red tube etc... These cars are built to run as burnout cars... It's not like they stole Mum's car ... Brasher went way out of his way with organising things for kids etc.. Jumping castle etc... Sheesh check out some euro rally footage ??? Burnouts are not totally my thing... But these guys know how to enjoy themselves...

Hope he has decent public liability insurance .... i know it aint cheap.
Being in Sydney ... and knowing an area where coucils allow you build this sort of thing .... I'd hazard a good guess its out the Hawkesbury region.

Also the one bundled with Home insurance doesn't cover as much as you think.
Don't fall into that trap.

All those complaining, obviously the governments BS campaign is working. I cant wait till AFF and LS1 members are all driving an electric car with 25fwkw's....
Awesome job and looks like a lot of fun. Just a shame these sort of things will become a distant memory for future generations....
