ok here is some news xchase i heard calders private meet they just had was $200 per car for a fully prepped track and there were 50 cars so works out to be about $10000. so if there was 100 cars racing it would only be around $100 per car for a fully prepped track at calder park. speak to yogi351 he may be able to steer you in the right direction and with a better track you will most likely get the bigger more hi powered cars.

At this point i need to put a few thinks into perspective Calder. Still waiting to hear back from Bob Jane. Its now been 4-5 days. Starting to think i wont hear anything at this point. Downside: Sheer cost to hire track, ambo's, Track prep, security etc as ANK said. New track would be unlikely we can have a powerskid comp. There wouldnt be passangers. Cars will have to abide by the ANDRA spec rules. Too fast and no cage = Home time Chance of rain would be higher Less track time. UPSIDE Yes we could have some of the bigger names but you have to weigh up whats going to be better. As this is the first time run and with short notice. I think the small track will be the way to go. Heathcote Upside: Good chance of powerskid comp. On-site camping Burnout pad. No constraints regarding running to fast etc. Smaller track = Good atmosphere Reason for a road trip. Bendigo Night life is great too especially when your there with large groups. So at this point its looking like Heathcote's the place for this first event Downside we may get a few less big names. But last time we had the Rajab boys car there and IGNITE and they had a good time. I will make sure that the track get's the prep it requires. Its about CT having a fun day they can call there own. Cheers Chafe!

Thanks again guys for a great weekend. On another note im trying to compile who won what event. I cant find the list anywhere. Its probably still sitting in the control tower at Heathcote. If anyone can help out with names or cars etc it would be real handy. Think i can remember a few of them but confirmation would be good. Thanks guys

SXYVLT (spelling) won the show and shine Maatouks exVLGOD/GH0747 won PRO VL with Ben Pearce IGNITE 2nd Johnny SHERIF won Pro Street and you ended up winning the tyres for the powerskid comp after much debate between ur 4th gear skid, the wagon skid and the qsr gemini skid.

There was no debate lol. The sponsor called that competition. Yes the Gemini had the best smoke trail but he said its not a VL. Who won the street fighter?
