i drive past calder to get to work n home everyday.....the joint is derilict........we did some work for them, just before the closure, with signage, and there was big plans, of which we were consulting for, then it hit a brick wall, and all the staff got the ar*e, due the OH&S reasons, and it all stemmed from that Turbo'ed Hemi from Perth hitting the wall in the top end, with no safety crew on site, in the top end. Good Old WorkSafe.........WogSafe and Heathcote i say....... peace out boys,

Give you a EPA/Defect. That will be enough to shatter your dreams. Sorry but these threads really dont go anywhere, IMO. They havent in SA and we have been to a rally and waiting for a protest. No doubt it will just fall by the weigh side

If we give up with out trying then we'll never know maybe get some signs made up and loads of cars in front of Calder Parks Gates along the freeway during peek hour peacefully of course and sensibly......... Or we can all sit and do nothing and point out reasons why it will never happen and see a dying trend to drag racing in Melbourne

im sick off ppl pi55ing and crying bout sh1t when they dont have the balls to stand up for wat they belive in. thats why the government walks all over us cause the majority is too weak to do any thing. big deal if the cops come and move the cars i bet well make the press and tell the ***ers that this will happen every week until we are heard. they cant afford to have so many cops dealing with the same issue week in week out.no hooning and music pumping just there to make a scene and be heard.

No cars on the road means no cars to block the road. It's a rediculous idea

It's a rediculous idea you dont need to roll out all the hot cars man get your mums mitsubishi verada on gas out there . im telling you guys it will get the point across. got to do something man wats the point of all these quick cars out there wen u can do **** with them. for some of us its a job and a hobbie if you can use the cars wats the point???????? i dont know but the goverment seem to be making a lot of money with traffic infringments and hoon laws they dont really give a *** about funding for race\drag strips.it seems to me they'd rather have all these cu*ts on the road. having said that its a small group of ppl (hoons) that wreck it and give us all a bad name.

In a sensible and legal way (of course) i'm in for some sort of public showing for the need of a government funded race track just like WSID in NSW.... Just imagine a drag strip with out Bob Jane pulling the strings.........
