Only problem is even more of them will want to come here. Govt. has had its $35 million worth and Grant Dalton's vision is proved. What a bargain Its reported Dalton salary was 2 mill in 2014 so whats he on today Is it value for public funding?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The teams are required to build a car that needs 20 litres of fuel just to get moving. They all have to circulate the track looking for cannisters of fuel so they can drive at top speed for an undetermined amount of time before they coast and idle to find the next cannister of fuel. And the "race" can arbitrarily be shortened if none of them find enough of the fuel to finish before next week. Really, this is an organisation problem. Racing should take place only if there is sufficient and stable wind conditions. You know, racing for the competitors, not to suit a TV schedule. Just another nail in the AC coffin.

Island Time 786 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I could not disagree more. Yesterday was great, and today was still good, albeit a bit fickle. IMO the best sailed boat won each race. Neil 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
