What is upsetting, this event was organised 3 months ago, yet poorly promoted.
However I will be there !!

crochunter · 20-04-2007, 02:53 AM

I will be there bringing the XT over from Tasmanioa for a run in the dial your own class.

With that line up it looks like an event not to miss.

crochunter · 02-05-2007, 05:03 PM

Looks like i wont be racing with my slicks now. I had my slicks on rims ready to put in back seat. Got my street tyres mounted on my other rims to drive there and the offset is all wrong. Had to use 4 spacers on each rim plus the nuts only go on half the nut. Far too dangerous like that. So i will be driving to the track and racing on Mickey Thompson Sportman Pros. Not sure if i going to get traction on these. I know the track is going to be in great condition so i might be lucky.

SpoolMan · 04-05-2007, 11:39 PM

Today I was told they have 134 cars entered, will still take more cars you can enter on Saturday morning.

BJ · 05-05-2007, 08:50 PM

So any up-date or times?? Maybe a pic or two??

marcuss · 05-05-2007, 11:22 PM

mick hayes ran a 7.9something @170+ in pro street blown
idris demaj 8.37 @ 166 pro street unblown (bbf power)
mick voas ran 8.8something in mod street unblown
not sure about the others as i wasn't paying close attention

micheal taranto wrecked his bbf powered rx4 in a top end accident. the wind got into his chute and lifted the back end off the ground. driver is ok but car not looking good.

this was the best meeting i've seen at calder for the past two years. plenty of cars and a good crowd considering there was no promotion of the event, melbourne had early drizzle during the morning and a dodgy forecast. if only the moronic management at that backwater track would realise the potential but thats a whole new thread

Mr. CVE · 05-05-2007, 11:35 PM

My BA 3v ran 11.77 @ 114 mph with fuel surge !!
was the only ford in the BA /LS1 class

60 ft on that run was 1.683.
it had fuel surge therefore the mph was down on the rest of the runs.

Some good pics there guys. Some good times too.
Shame to hear about Micheal Taranto wrecking his car, hopefully it isnt too bad. Glad to hear he is ok though, will give him a ring later see how he is going today.

dute · 06-05-2007, 08:37 AM

I only spent a couple of hrs out there looking and WOW top show for Calder and about time too. Spoke to a few and all reports were the track was great as well.
