You know this might not be such a bad way to get alot of people from here together in the one place at the one time, I mean every time I have been i always meet someone new from one of the forums.
Whats say we make it like a mini meet kinda thing and anyone that wants can maybe get together at the Keilor hotel later, or even coffee at one of the local maccas. Actually it would be a great op for one huge assed pic of all the members and their cars. Just a thought :

The main reason they havent done as much as they maybe could is because of attitudes such as yours, with many people no longer going funds have decreased. It takes alot of money to even run an event let alone maintain it, and as for resurfacing well thats a whole other issue, keep in mind that many of the people you see 'working' their are actually volunteers if they had to be payed they would go broke because of the lack of support.
If the management see numbers increasing they will of course have to look at bringing in changes earlier, you don't have to race if you choose not to but you can contribute just by helping to increase the numbers of spectators. Understand that when management and track owners look at any kind of refurbishment they first look at the viability of any changes that may take place and the increased demand if any by those who use it. Most of you wouldn't even know that it was almost shut down just a couple of years ago in favor of a new track just up the road on Boundary Rd, this is the main reason the track was let go somewhat as their was no foreseeable gains to be had in any maintainance work being done. If we don't show them that we want and need this facility in Melbourne then they may even sell it off to land developers who have been after it for years, change the way we think about what we're owed and lets prove to them that maybe they do need to look at doing something sooner rather than later. Thats why I asked for as many of the Melbourne members as can make it to get their backsides out their and support not only them but also the members that go out every week and have a good time and entertain the crowds. But most importantly i think its gonna be so much better when Chris gets that 11 second pass, go you good thing, so instead of everyone going on about how much they love their Ford, come out tomorrow night and show your support for some great local forum talent and lets make it a final round to remember. Stick that in your pipes and smoke em up :the_finge |

[QUOTE=XRQTR]The main reason they havent done as much as they maybe could is because of attitudes such as yours, I have drag raced and supported racing at Calder since the late 60s when they held there very 1st meeting.In those times you could get as many runs in as you wanted,and it was even televised onto commercial tv.At the last few meetings i have raced at [ yes still racing at nearly 60 yo_lol] we have been lucky to get 3 or 4 runs, waited for up to an hour due to oil downs and suffered stone chips on rear guards due to poor return roads.Compare this to the REAL time avaiable at other strips and you will appreciate why Calder does not deserve support. See you in the staging lanes.

Everyone has a choice where they want to race, this thread will no longer used as a discussion about Pros & cons of Calder Park.
Take that to PM. If your not posting about thread topic dont post.
