New Offer For Air

[Whiplash]

+1 what Chops said - it actually was not so much BJs fault at all .... BUT he should either spend a shitload of money on the track, digital signboards, infrastructure, etc etc, or sell it to someone like Bill who actually wants to pour money into it and bring Adelaide back to the once mighty drag town it was.

When i was in melbourne a few months ago i was speaking to my friend about Calder Park. He said that Bob is planning a major overhaul of both Calder and AIR.

He only knew a small amount about the AIR renovations, It will be getting digital signboards (ex calder displays), resurfacing of the whole track and some facility upgrades aswell.

He has put a huge amount of money aside for both tracks, however i feel Calder will get the majority of the money knowing the plans they have for the Melbourne facilities.

and the feeling i got from my friend (who is close to Bob) is that BJ wants to get the 2 tracks up and running to their full potential as both open track days and state level motorsports. At the moment Calder is open at least 1 day a week for free practice and bob wants to bring this sort of public access to AIR.

I will dig for some more info and let you know what i hear.

As Miss34 said, words are cheap.

I heard all this stuff 2 years ago.

Bob is definitely keen on getting his tracks back up to national standards. The work on Calder is 30 - 50% done now with new race control facilities, resurfacing, new timing boards (old one heading over this way).

Work on AIR should be starting soon after work is finished on Calder. So it will still be a while off as there is strong talk of extending the track over there.

will keep on looking further to try and find the exact plans around Air - resurfacing the whole track & drag strip is in the mix at the moment

Interesting news, thanks Nick

[chops]

Interesting yes, but still the EXACT same story I heard in 2005. Let's hope they mean it this time.

I'd almost rather they came out and said "we're doing nothing, it will never open again" than the chinese whispers.
