Organisers are boasting about a surge in crowds for this month’s Sandown 500 despite a sticky start to the event’s final day.
Sandown Raceway manager Wade Calderwood said crowds were up — 57,000 over September 14-16 compared to 49,000 last year.
He said crowds had filled the track’s car parks on the last day. Before last Sunday week’s event, someone had glued locks at two perimeter gates. “It was a very minor incident — no impediment to the event at all,” Mr Calderwood said.
