Easter weekend, Calder has a meeting on the Monday 17th of April.
Top Fuel & Top Doorslammer and a support field as well, should nice to see the and smell some nitro fumes in Melbourne again. PS: Staging lanes have been re-surfaced, now for the return road.

I saw the Zappia run, gotta say WOW!
 But from up on the hill (pit side) something just doesn't look right with the track. But they seem to be putting a bit of money into the facilites which is great to see

This will be great, Victoria has been too long without top fuel racing. Even though Calder Park management hasn't been kind to the racers who give us the show, it's good that something is coming of it and there is something for us to see at least. Hopefully they now get treated better and the facilities are kept in good order
So Craig, you'll have to do a burnout, launch and then after a full run to get your license initially? |
