Interesting there is no support for this day, the 1st time in years top fuel has been In Melbourne. Everyone who I have told about this day's racing have said they will definately be there, they have missed there top level drag racing

Perhaps Rod should bring his beast out for a run? Has George Haddad finished his magic on it?

George Haddad is never in a hurry when engine building, once he sees the green light then he is in a hurry.

I would lay money on a few 1/4 or 1/2 track passes with a couple of tractionless early shutoffs. Bands? Stunt shows? Sounds more like a circus than racing. |

The street machine nats used be on easter weekend, before they moved it and called it the summer nats. Bob also had a street car nationals there quite a few years ago, with drags, grass driving events and driving around the thunderdome.

I dont think so, entry fee has to pay for some of the costs (or most of)
Seen the ads for it flat out the last few nights |

When Calder was at it's peak about 15 years or so ago I remember they had an event with the drags, thunderdome, and jet boats and 4wd's in the infield, along with the motorkhana etc, was a good weekend

Bike boys will be there in force. 17 entries when i spoke to calder last. Romeo capitanio was going to be running a 3rd fuel car, but unfortunatley the sponsor for the day pulled out last week and they wont be there. However, there are also 3 doorslammers running. Peter Kapiris, Deno Brijeski and Paul Greghini. The first 2 have been 6.0's and Greghini in the teens. Also, Shane Baxter in his CC/DA will be there, hopefully running into the 6.70's along with quite a few other competition and super stock cars. I raced there on Saturday night and i must say the track is much better since the repairs. Considering the track temp was 12 degrees, i still managed a 9.34 which is 6 hundredths off my PB of 9.28, with a 1.34 60' compared to the best of 1.28. So i would say with some heat in the track, the buzz of the crowd, and hopefully some setup assistance from a car chassis builder, we should be able to get the bikes into the 20's again (bloody hope so, it has been 3 years.)

Anyone got anything to report? From what I have heard it was a smokefest and Eric Goudsward totaled his Altered. CPR the centre of motorsport, what a joke
