Rotorua is not just a tourist town, it is a city of 70,000 people. Great crowd and atmosphere at Arawa Park on the 27th and a high proportion of local once a year punters. Closing down their local track will only achieve a further drop in punter numbers. These people will certainly not drive to Matamata or Taupo to go to the races, it will be out to the lakes or a drive over to the beach. VOR the track is now very good since the club spent $0.5M on a full reconstruction a few years ago.

Boy that was a great arm wrestle throughout the afternoon! I definitely need a drink or too to settle down. Thanks to all participants for the fun competition, especially Mrzim who always threatened to take over but couldn't quite get there. A big thanks to the Chestnut for your brilliant progress reporting as usual. How you do it so quickly is a mystery to me. Wishing everyone concerned an enjoyable time for the remainder of the weekend.
