yes I know its a while off yet, and used to be at sandown raceway - but its being moved to calder, I know this because my father has been an entrant and me a co-driver for the last 5 years or so and was sent an entry form to enter his car, says event is to be held at calder park raceway.
Also that event became a corporate dog of a thing with events tagged to corporate sponsors "repco burnouts" etc.. that is what the events were called officially, and it too went down the toilet and I didn't go last year and from what my father tells me its turned to crap and I doubt he will enter this year even. Anybody else heard of the shift to calder and know why its happening apart from the people complaining in houses around sandown raceway? <<edit>>http://www.easternats.com.au/ it says calder on the webby even for those that doubt

There was an article about it in one of my performance ford mags, something about the melbourne racing club not paying for permits resulting in fines or something similar and noise complaints.

I live about 10 mins from Calder, and used to go all the time to the events held there.... But now it is just ridiculous... By the time you get fleeced at the entry, you've then gotta pay for overpriced hot dogs, donuts, and bottles of coke... and if you actually would like to have a beer or bourbon... Cha Ching....$$$ If they halved the price, they'd get DOUBLE the patronage... But - what would I know right!??!

Most of which goes towards Bobs divorce settlement Quote:
LOL so they'd make the same money but have twice as much work to do and mess to clean up It reminds me of when they first tired to have I think it was called "motorfest", I went and it was pretty much a burnout comp on the thunderdome track, and a pretty poor one at that. The only thing Calder knows how to do is rip people off and destroy events, woops that's 2.
