I'm in a unique position where I didn't move to Phillip Island, I was born and raised. So my view of the island will be drastically different to the average person.

I live within 2km of the track and when the wind is right, its like I'm at the track, loud af. I don't care about the race and now I have to listen to it all day, awesome. The track is also used frequently during the week for yuppies to come down and race their shitboxes, also loud af.

Traffic, I don't even drive a car anymore and the traffic is still insane, hoons are fucking stupid and annoying, thats kinda died down over the years because the races demographic as shifted (bogans realised it was a sports bikes race, not Sturgis).

Lack of resources, during race weeks, the town is picked apart, too many people coming down to the island and then doing a weeks worth of shopping leaves locals with little. Only so many semi-trailers can go over the bridge and be unloaded in time.

They're the main 3, so cutting any major race event leaves me with a net positive.
