Since the closure of race tracks and motorsport facilities across NSW, there have been a substantial increase deaths related in speeding offenses as a percentage of road toll via the Roads & Maritime Services (RTA) statistics from 2007 - 2010 http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/speedandspeedcameras/index.html Oran Park Raceway's closure in 2009 left Sydney with just one racetrack in that of Eastern Creek. We, the undersigned, would like to call upon the O'Farrell Government to look into a prospective site for a new facility in the South Western Sydney area for a state-of-the-art complex that could also be utilised for race meets of all motorsport categories, and double as a Driver Training & Education for Learner drivers and those that have their licenses suspended. Please Mr. O'Farrell, if this concept could reduce the amount of fatalities upon our roads, then it should NOT be discarded. Kindest Regards

I have been reading your messages about safety and it is clear that many people feel the same loss I do regarding our lost spaces. This has grown well beyond my own small expectations and it is honestly your shared passion that keeps this conversation alive.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people feel as strongly about this as I do. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I never thought this would gain such traction. Seeing this grow is truly humbling.

Sick of having nowhere to go. Keep it off the streets and let us have a track. Eastern creek is always booked out anyway.

WE NEED ANOTHER TRACK ASAP. ORAN PARK WAS A MASSIVE LOSS FOR SYDNEY.

My son is just starting to drive and i worry about him constantly. A proper place to learn car control would be so much safer than these idiots racing on the M5.
