What can happen when things don't - The Easternat riot 19.3.2010

Recently in the outer South-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, conveniently enough – or inconveniently, depending on how you look at it – saw a ‘small’ gathering of say 2000 protesters and rev-heads gathered together in objection.

They objected legendary racing driver turned tyre king, Bob Jane’s decision to cancel the Calder Park Raceway Easternats – an Easter holiday time drag racing fest.

Where they decided to congregate, for reasons unbeknownst to me, was – here we go – conveniently, or inconveniently enough more-or-less immediately adjacent to one of my places of employment.
