Default Get Racing Before Winter...

So .. Why don't we get a Heap of us together and go to Calder ... Its the Holidays now . so how about the unLUCKY Friday 13th April..
As you guys know its getting into winter and it would probably be one of the last good nights to Race for about the next 6mths.

You could use this night to set a few times and as you mod your car over the next few winter mths you will have a good base start to see how good your mods are .

Being a drag noob, whats required? Obviously a helmet, licence, scrutineering and some $$$

What are the specifics? Can I hire a helmet at the track?

I hit my Speed limiter at 220mtrs ... so HALF TRACK ... after that I'm dead .. I'm trying to find away around it a.t.m. but I dont know if it will work .

There is a guy on here Ian ??? I think that works at Calder .. we need to get in touch with him and get him to help us out a bit if he can .

it would be because of the cold air, but calder park management are very finicky with the weather, any hint of rain, and they stop, but its better to be safe than sorry.

Ian "MIEF9640" will not organise another e-series group entry

due to a few people doing the wrong thing at the last one he organised so someone will have to try and organise it them self

I just wonder how hard it would be to organise for you guys to get on the in feild. What if someone rings calder and askes them.Is it worth a try.
It would be alto betta if you are all together in the one spot.

I agree. It might be better if a moderator was to ring up though IMO

6 Cars at this stage, not bad. I can't wait for this to take place. C'mon people put your names down even if you dont race. Spectators are very helpful for those who are racing.
