There's not a big enough market in Australia to allow promoters to run their own show unfortunately. The governing body needs to take control and pay someone a realistic wage to do the work necessary to organise one series, not let greedy entrepreneurs manipulate things to squeeze out competition and set their own prices to maximise profits for themselves. The promoters in recent years have taken cuts from tyre companies for the control tyre contracts, gouged racers for as much as possible and driven the sport into the ground with their selfish business tactics aimed at lining their own pocket. Let's face reality, they are and only ever have been in this to make money, anyone who thinks either of them has any altruistic motivations is completely delusional.

TON has all but managed to destroy road racing in NSW with his 'free enterprise' and splitting the scene into two factions, just like Superleague did back in the day to Rugby League. With the reduction of tracks and the control he managed to gain over those two tracks (complete monopoly over one of them), he had squeezed out a lot of the competition and prices went through the roof. We pay over $100 more per race meet in NSW than they do in Victoria for a club round. Eg. the Hartwell round at Philip Island in a couple of weeks is $390 for the two days and Broadford is only $290 for a two day event! They still come under MA and have the same insurance costs, the only difference is the cost of the track hire, which in NSW was/is heavily influenced by TON.

We are getting reamed up here and it won't change until a new track opens up and we get some competition or TON is removed from running bikes at Wakefield, end of story. I'm not saying he is completely to blame for the whole mess because ARDC and MA have played their part as well, but he certainly isn't an innocent party and has been a major contributor to the whole down fall of road racing, especially in NSW. Sadly, the sport is better off without Konsky and it would be better off without TON as well; the reason being, they are both selfish people and have the wrong motivation for being there in the first place.
