I'm sick of all the talk anyway, there have been how many proposed drag strips in Vic over the past few years, and they never go anywhere. Just face it, until BJ dies and some one takes over Calder, drag racing down here is going nowhere.
I think we should make all public roads a drag strip till someone caves in a funds us a new track
