Track has been good, cars have dropped off so numbers are lower there for more runs and they still take for ever to clean up oil downs...

I dont see how half an hour for a half track clean up is forever, especially when the track is back to where is was at the start of the night......
On the original post, you need to add....
Street cars $80 (includes 3 spectator passes to the value of $75)
Comp cars $130 (includes 3 crew passes to the value of $75 max 5 crew)
Sounds like a good deal....

Why doesnt Bob Jane wake up to the fact that raising prices decreases competitors and he cant play catchup by lowering prices. He has burned drag racing in the southern states and it will take years to restore it, IF it can be restored. Its a shame more money couldnt be invested into HPR and get ANDRA affiliation.

G'day Yogi,

I just looked at your post history and I'm curious, what's your relationship with Calder Park? I only ask as I'd love to know what the future holds there for championship drag racing, I'd love to see the big hitters back in Melbourne on the quarter.

Cheers,

Kraig

Yes JC I agree, I am sure things will continue to improve at HPR and it keeps the tag as the no:1 Family and club friendly track..

16/4/10 oil down cleanup was more like an hour, I know because I was lined up in the dummy grid busting for a pee and was contemplating turning back.
