i think there might have been a lot of competitors, trade, media and other types of entrys that might have sku'd the numbers a little bit if you were looking at takings on the gate but i don't think high octaine were under any false sence that they were going to make money from the day. Hopefully it went some way to cover expences but i think not near close enough. Next year i doubt if it would be as big unless the international cars want to come over on there own accord as most of the interest was generatred by the overseas cars, as long as it gets more interest then some of the other forms of motorsport although i think you are kidding yourself with generating V8 super car numbers.
