Anyone going for a look today?
I want to see some racing, weather looks great for making some good numbers.
$35 spectator entry is bit steep considering WSID charge this for a group one event, expensive day out for a family.

That ute is nice but how could something that is blatantly unregisterable as it sits win TRUE Street?

I was told every car that entered true street had to meet at VPW and then drive to Calder this is a 20 to 25klm drive to the track, once at the track the scrutineering made sure the cars were registered and had a engineering certificate mods, they raced on the same tyres as they drove to the track on...

eg: A Cortina with a V8 would need an engineering certificate to race in this class...
I cant see what else they could do...

No dramas with the idea but driving test or not there is no way that ute would pass rego with the mountain hanging out of the bonnet. Maybe if it was engineered as it sits fair enough. Love it anyway looks tough
