It is truly stunning that MA and MVIC continue to shovel money into Broadford, year after year, without apparently having to justify it to anyone.
And it appears this same situation is now happening with Barrabool as well.
Is it just a coincidence that the head office of MA is in the State of Victoria and that also happens to be where two major motorcycle complexes are owned by the regulatory bodies? 
I am sure glad that I do not race or have to pay MA fees any longer. 
Having said all of that, having the MXGP in Australia again is a good thing, but I'd rather have a round of the US AMA MX Championship, so that the Aussies racing overseas would get a chance to race at home. 
Most of the money that has gone into building Broadford has come from 3 sources.
Huge Donations from a small group of Vic clubs (Harley, Preston, Newport Braybrook etc)
Fundraising and donations from licence holders and raffles etc (thats how the road race cct was funded)
Grants from the Vic state govt thanks to tireless lobbying from a small group of MA Vic members
A lot of people have put years of blood sweat and cash in to make Broadford happen, it pisses me off reading of suggestions on this forum all the time of how everyones licence fees are being diverted to prop up Broadford...its a load of shit.
The only coincidence is that Broadford is in the same same state as a group of peolpe (normal club members not MA or MAV officials) who have worked their arse of to build and fund the place
