- Australian police are once again cracking down on drinking by racing fans -- sort of.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald , for the third straight year spectators at the Bathurst 1000 -- a three-day auto race -- will be told to stick to just one case of beer, 24 cans, while at the racetrack. If fans choose to drink light beer, they will be allowed 36 cans per day.
Restrictions also apply to one case of pre-mixed drinks a day or one cask of wine up to four liters.
Police hope the limits will prevent the famous New South Wales race from being marred by alcohol-related violence.
"This is one of the greatest motorsport events in Australia and for some it is a pilgrimage that they make every year," Assistant Police Commissioner Alan Clarke said in a statement. "Police respect people's rights to enjoy the race weekend, but will promptly act when the law is broken."
Australia has seen its share of alcohol-related problems in recent years. Alcohol was blamed as a factor in sparking race-related riots in Sydney in 2005.

A Highway Patrol trooper stopped South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's car for speeding, but let his protective detail driver go without a ticket, an official said Wednesday.
State Department of Public Safety Director Mark Keel said he had reviewed a recording of the stop and that the State Law Enforcement Division agent will now be cited. Keel did not say how fast Sanford's car was going Tuesday on Interstate 385, a heavily traveled route between Columbia and Greenville, but the recording shows the speed at 85 mph. The limit through that area is 65 mph, a public safety spokesman said.
Keel said Lance Cpl. R.S. Salter clocked a speeding dark-colored sedan and pulled it over two miles from I-26. Keel said the driver identified himself as SLED agent. When "asked why he was speeding, the agent said he was transporting the governor," Keel said. He did not cite the driver, he said.
Sanford has been dealing with a criminal ethics investigation of his travel practices since he revealed an affair with an Argentine woman in June. State lawmakers have indicated they might try to impeach the Republican governor who has about 15 months left in his term.
In 2006, Sanford's office was highly critical of the lieutenant governor when the Highway Patrol twice stopped him for speeding but did not issue tickets.
South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Chief Reggie Lloyd, whose agent was driving Sanford, said the ticket is appropriate.
"He did something that I thought was totally inappropriate, from the standpoint of the trooper, as well as the governor," said Lloyd, adding that his agency would investigate to see if the agent would be punished. "I think we as an agency owe Trooper Salter, as well as the governor, an apology."
Lloyd would not name the agent but said he is still on duty and is regularly assigned as part of the governor's detail.
Sanford spokesman Ben Fox referred questions about the stop to Keel's agency.
yes i remember when he work for ESPN. i think from what i gather his father is bad sick. i know his mother died about 4 months ago. i was still living in the USA then. i tried watching him on the Internet but was an hour of his comments. but i must say i would rather watch him then oreilly. i think oreilly think he is more important than he really is.
as the war between these to goes on. as a watcher of msnbc. i see that msnbc is so bias towards Obama. but what gets me is a fox news viewer will say that fox news is fair and balance.watch everyone knows is not the truth. so if msnbc is bias. towards the left. fox news is bias towards the right.
know matter what Obama does the republicans will complain. but think about like this. that's all they can do is whine. they lost all there power.and they wanted Sarah palin to be in the white house. that should pretty much tell alot about there party.
i often wonder why i never heard one Republican say anything when bush was president. he started two wars. he gave tax breaks to the rich. wasting millions in tax dollars along the way. its funny now how you here republicans crying because of Obama. but then again. since republicans lost the house and the senate. and being the president. all they can do is come up with stuff like birthers. say know to American poor having some health care. make up stuff on acorn. but if you really look at it. it pretty much come out to be whining. but is real entertaining to here.
i watch a show early off the Internet about hells angels in montreal. does canada not have a law where a person cant be tried again after being found innocent like the USA.
but its close to winter time. to many clothes this time of year. but have found out. if you really want to piss off a Ukraine person when you speak mix Russian and Ukraine together. it really pisses them off.
as lots of people know. the election come in cycles. Obama will win again 2012. i hope so. nothing sounds better then republican whining. its real entertainment to here them cry.
