Pete, You are correct, the operator of Lakeside is one John Tetley, also the CEO of Queensland Raceway.
Nope, I doubt we will see a return of the V8's to Lakeside. That will be the exclusive money spinner for QR. Lakeside will be more club type events with maybe a couple of annual events like the muted endurance event. Maybe we will see a Queensland 500 sometime in the future which will incorporate the V8's.
As to it being in my backyard, all I have to say is that it worries us Northsiders. Until now the gateway bridge has remained a sorta pseudo immigration barrier to Southsiders crossing the creek. With the duplication of the Gateway and now lakeside being ramped up then more and more swamp dwellers will venture Northwards.
As to the security of the flag waver ...If I were he and knew exactly who had input into the gantry I'd be afraid .... very afraid.
