Hundreds of revheads last night trashed a Bob Jane T-marts store and brought the Princes Highway in Oakleigh to a standstill for several hours in protest against the cancellation of the EasterNats race meet at Melbourne’s Calder Park Raceway.

The commotion started after the EasterNats race meet at Calder Park Raceway was cancelled earlier this week, and the crowds on Friday night decided to vent their anger on the sponsor’s store, on the corner of Princes Highway and Warrigal Road.

As the angry fans trashed the store, breaking windows and stealing car parts from inside, witnesses and bystanders were forced to take shelter in their cars and nearby restaurants.
