MOTO GP: Upcoming Adelaide Street Race causes Concern

Will somebody please put some shrimp on the Barby’…

 

Yeah, as typical, your humble No Fenders scribe was off in LaLa land! Where if truly wishing to acquire more than four loyal Blob’ (blog) readers – I’d have been scribblin’ furiously about the Markham Mudfest’ and ensuing one Helluva street race immediately afterwards…

 

Instead, I found it to be a slow Monday news morning following the race. Hence drifting off to other continents and stumbling into the news concerning another upcoming street race Down Under in Oz, Mates!

 

I’ll admit having zero clue over the picturesque Phillip Island MotoGP race being replaced by Adelaide next year. Which it seems like a conundrum hearing the Mayor of Adelaide saying its not worth the Headache!

Being a transplanted Oregonian Tree Hugger, its easy for me to say I don’t like reading about the need to cut down 50 or is it 60 mature, “Old growth” tees for the sake of a new motor race!

 

Calling up visions of the devastation that occurred Up North Eh! In order for Vancouver, British Columbia’s hosting of the 2010 Winter Olympics. As how many acres of wooed forest were destroyed just for a new Bobsleigh track, Oh Never Mind!

 

Although perhaps this future tree cutting spree in Adelaide has now been mitigated? Yet I find the word mitigate to be a dirty word! Conjuring up images of appeasement or compromise…

 

While a  just “leaked” track map upgrade image was hurriedly released afterwards…
