Do you think we have enough intellectual, financial, and organisational support to still do the cruise???
Ill help form a commitee to do so. I think its a cause that desperately needs a voice.
The situation as it is perpetuates itself. Like you say (Dr_Love) if there were more outlets for the consumers of this industry then the ppl with a legitimate passion for driving and holding a license at the same time would use them. Even the hoons who dont care about a license would use em because ultimately its a competetive thing, and they would want to see themselves as better than the ppl they perceive as the "wanky goodies" of car modding.
And when there is a few less racers on the street, there is less cars about for the dickheads left to race against, and they die out too. Or at least push away from the suburbs where they dont get noticed. Then you have less mums crying to the politicians. Less kids growing up seeing VL's going sideways around corners shooting at cops, and thinking "i caint wait till me grows up and gets to pop me first piggy in a getaway car"
At the moment the way it is, we have ever increasing commercialisation of the industry; The marketing $'s being spent to get us all putting 20" chromies on, and monster tachos in your Barina is just OBSCENE. Fark the clever manufacturers are even approaching film makers to produce 120min adds for em these days. No names mentioned here... 
Combine this commercial push for the consumers to empty their pockets with a social environment that disowns you as soon as you walk out the door of your local autobarn. There are hundreds and thousands of ppl driving around desperately trying to control urges that they have been forced to supress for soooo long. Yet they cant go a day without seeing a SS ute doing doughnuts in a paddock on TV. Kinda like telling a 14 YO male that masturbation is bad, but you have to read sports illustrated everynite for an hour... Fark sooner or later what do ya think is gonna happen? And as for all the hoons... i think that for half of em its not their fault to some degree. At present how would the younger generation even know that race track exists which they could have access to? They dont! And all of their little brothers and sisters are growing up beleiving the same shit, but being quite clearly given the msg that there is still a "need for speed"...
I truly beleive there is a NEED for a voice to get ppl to understand how race / rally / speedway tracks will reduce road carnage. And furthermore how continued ignorance of this fact will actually lead to things getting worse no matter how strict you make the rules to try and control the consumer.
