From the script to last night's In Pit Lane news:
Quote:
The Melbourne Racing Club has strenuously denied radio and Internet rumours regarding the future of Sandown as a motor racing venue. Sandown track manager Wade Calderwood told In Pit Lane that rumours on 3AW and various Internet forums had no basis in fact.
The rumours claimed that the Sandown 500 in two weeks time would be the final ever race meeting at the circuit.
Another rumour claimed that Sandown would next year be managed by Calder Park promoter Bob Jane and that the track would run races under the auspices of the AASA.
Mr Calderwood said that the MRC had never even spoken to Bob Jane or AASA and that all future racing at the circuit would continue to run under CAMS accreditation.
The upcoming Sandown 500 will be the last to be run by current promoter Jon Davison before the Horse racing club takes the reigns for the big Sandown Historic Meeting in November.
