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!??!

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.

I love the fact that people who move next to a racetrack can complain about the noise.

There was a state (Vic) government law passed in the 90's I think it was regarding pubs, ha?? let me explain.
In the 90's many of the "cool chic" set started moving into flats in Richmond and Collingwood, a) it was cheap and b) it was closer to work for others. Anywho, suddenly a stream of complaints started about the noise levels of the pubs next to which many of them had moved. The state government realised that these people knew full well that they would be moving in next to such a place and ruled that ignorance was no excuse with regard to noise levels from the band nights in particular, but also from patrons arriving and leaving in the early hours. I can't see why they can't extend this ruling to sports events........oh hang on that's right, it's Brumbies recession fight back scam, erm scheme, if you want to have fun in Vic then you can pay for it. I say this because I'm pretty sure that this rule has been overturned recently ( a couple of years ago ) because someone couldn't sleep in the house they just bought due to the noise from the local pub with very little objection by the government. Just like the Tote in Collingwood, the only reason they're closing it down is because the land is now so valuable that the government would prefer developers to come in and increase the surrounding land value which in turn increases rates so everyones happy........ everyone that makes money out of it anyway.

I like the new land development that is happening just at the start of the Tullamarine freeway, the old dump site which no doubt is turning into a housing estate. I can see it now, Melbourne Airport being closed because of noise complaints ![]() |
