Should road cars be speed limited?

No doubt, it is expensive to set up and maintain these kind of venues, but these venues also have the ability to generate revenue for the local area in the form of state/national race events, as well as a training facility and track day venue.

It is also expensive to set up and maintain sporting fields, skateboard parks, MX tracks, Olympic Pools, Indoor Sports centres, go kart tracks, etc,etc.
The set up and running costs of these all vary of course but they all have the same public liabilty insurance and running cost issues that a track would. In fact, after the initial set up, a basic tracks running costs could be less than something like a large indoor pool.

The QLD government is currently setting up a 750 Hectare facility in the SE corner of QLD specifically for trail bike use. This type of facility, while welcomed by people in SEQ who ride dirt bikes, will only be used by a minority. Despite building this facility, there will still be guys who ride around unregistered dirt bikes in the outer suburbs of Brissy in paddocks, public land and along railway tracks illegally, so it wont stop that behaviour, yet the government will end up spending similar coin to what you are talking about to buy the land and set the thing up. Its going to consist of Conservative estimates for this facility at this early stage are $5 million, but what could this blow out to ?

Why is this type of investment valid while a bitumen track that could be utilized for multiple uses is seen as not a valid use of taxpayer money, even here on a car enthusiusts forum?
