My opinion.
I raced 250 Production in the first two years of Paeroa, and it went off. Great do, lots of fun etc.
But I nearly met my maker when taken out just after the kink in the front straight, at full speed (and yes, there was video coverage that proved I was taken out).
Thank AMCC for milk bottle bales (some of which I helped make actually).
But I went back for a visit in 2012 or sometime around then, maybe 2010, and it really felt like faded glory.
Felt very much like it was missing a beat, that many spectators were there because there was F all else to do in Paeroa and were waiting for a crash.
But, it has to be said, I was x years older and more cynical by then.
I for one won't miss it at all.
Just my opinion.
