The V8 Supercars Are Coming To HamiltON!!!!!

soon, one of hamilton's biggest events, the v8's will be coming to hamilton.
do you think that the v8's are a good idea for hamilton. im going to write the good and bad points of the v8's in hamilton and room 5 can decide if we think the v8's are good.!!!!!!!!

Good Points:

-people who buy tickets for the v8's,
that money will go towards hamilton,
improving our city and making it a better
place.
- the v8's will focus media
attention on hamilton
-it gives people from hamilton a chance
to engage with people from other cities.
-it will promote hamilton because if people
come here they will see what a great place it
really is.
-more and more people will come back each year
therefore increasing our money we get
(we have the v8's in hamilton for 8 years)
- it's forcing hamilton buisnesses such as hotels, motels resturants, places like that to up their game to deal with the amount of people that are coming into hamilton
- the caterers could enjoy their time doing what they love doing (cooking)
-it shows people that YES hamilton can host big events like this and YES we are prepared for it, that's if we host it well of course.
- it entertains people
- people that compete from New Zealand wouldn't have to pay all the costs for taking their cars over seas for the v8's races.
- it brings people together from all over new zealand for a positive, fun, family event, not s big tragerdy.
- and last of all, it makes speeding and racing in cars controlled.

Bad Points:
- all the cars from everone who is coming to the v8 races would cause looooooooooooooooots of trafic therefore making it unsafe and all the time spent waiting in traffic could be spent in more beneficial ways
- the v8 event attracts boy racers
- hamilton is already running out of water, and with all the extra people coming into hamilton think how much less water we would have because people would be drinking out of taps and having showers and baths.
-all this time and effort and work that is put into setting up for the v8's , and the v8's will only be going for a weekend, so there's all that 2 months wasted.
-people who come to hamilton from other cities might do more tagging and wreck trees or burgal somewhere.
-with all these cars it would cause losts of pollution.
- the amount of rubbish that will be thrown everywhere from beer bottles, chippie packets and food that will be sold at the v8's racing.
- once the v8's are over just like that it will take the workers ages to get everything down .
-the caterers that will be serving food, the could get stressed making the v8's a stressful time for them.
- some people who would absolutely love to go to the v8's couldn't go to them because they couldn't afford it but some people who hate the v8's and think it's pointless might be going because they can afford it.
- the people actually DRIVING the v8 cars could crash and get seriouslly injured or hurt. ( but they are proffesionals)
- and last of all, some people go other places in the holidays like to a camp or visit relatives and might not have known that the v8's were on that holiday so it could intefere with other plans and therefore you would miss out.!!!!!!

so now that you have seen both sides, good and bad what do you think? do you think that the v8's is a good event for hamilton to host?
if you have any other opinions supporting what you think about the v8 racing supercars please add your opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
bye
