I have so many thoughts from watching Adelaide!
1. Gutted for Grant Anderson to not be rewarded for such a solid showing both nights.
2. Just as happy for Michael Stewart and the BOHUD team. Almost every top combo in the country was there and they came out on top.
3. I don’t care who you are, the whole event was better than you expected.
4. I’m bummed that Sprint Car Hub couldn’t be there to do our thing. The build, event info, track insights, collabs with drivers in other categories… we had a lot planned!
5. Despite my previous point, I’m so happy for sprint car racing. After all, we started Sprint Car Hub to showcase Sprint Car racing.
6. This was a huge outlay for the SAMB. I genuinely hope it made financial sense for them to do it again. Either way, the big winner was speedway and we appreciate that.
7. I wonder if we will soon see more corporate partners dip their toes into the sport.
8. I wish I knew where my closest NAPA store was so I could support them. Kudos to them for supporting our sport like they do.
9. It’s embarrassing to think we still don’t have a national series.
10. I loved listening to Matt Naulty and Gavin White call the racing.
11. Obviously a lot of you liked the concept. I hope a lot of new fans enjoyed the experience.
12. This is SPRINT CAR Hub but I couldn’t help but think how ideal this would be for Midgets.
13. Back to back nights, same cars, same track, same track crew - 2 different features. Goes to show how tough track prep is.
14. You can throw in concerts to make an event like the Adelaide 500 better, but I’m sure they loved having added another quality MOTORSPORT act to their show.
15. I pi**ed off the organisers by questioning the fence. I still wouldn’t oppose it being taller.
16. Wild that this event is almost completely separate from the booming Perth scene.
17. A show with (almost) JUST Sprint Cars?! What a concept.
18. Great to see 3 South Australian cars on the podium last night.
19. When have we ever been injected into an event with thousands of ‘bottom of funnel’ fans?
20. This was proof that 40 good cars is enough.
21. Was there enough interest to see a permanent Adelaide track again?
