Calder Park Sucked On Friday. Whats Goin On!

[R33GOD]

whats goin on with friday night drags at calder park.

its sucking big time lately

$25 to watch and $65 to compete. what a joke

just thought id share

[abu]

I heard the prices were going up.

$25 for a spectator is a fkn joke and $65 to race is way too expensive!

No wonder people street race, with prices like that who can afford to compete every week.

if the people that ran that had half a brain theyd leave it at $40 to compete and $15 to watch.

cheaper = more people= more cash for them

[assyrian4evaa]

10bux for spectators is more than enough i think..

so it was that bad was it? lucky i didnt come

[jrocket]

LOL. And they wonder why people street race. I dont understand some of these people that run these type of events. It makes far more sense to reduce the costs to enter etc and draw more people in to race and watch. They will bump the price up to $70 before long i recon. I was thinking of giving it a go out there sometime but looking far too expensive. $65 entry, $100 fuel there and back, $500 for tires. Dam thats one expensive outting.

I'm sure they'll soon realize the crowd is fading. Having lesser cars and crowd there will be a sign for them. Was just there about 3 weeks ago. Had about 30 cars i reckon. Had the chance to do 20 runs But yeah $65 is just too much.

The manager and some other staff who worked for Calder just recently quit or got the sack.

These people really pushed to make it allot better this year.

I guess where just going to see what happens next year.

haha. And the money hungry cops just stuffed it all up again

[stolen_s15]

13 cars is great if you're one of the cars, crap if you want to spectate,

[R33GOD]

13 cars is great if you're one of the cars, crap if you want to spectate,

yeah but.... would you pay $65 to run?

even when i race and theres 30 cars its more enjoyable seeing whats around

[stolen_s15]

True $65 is a bit bloody rich.

Remember how how Friday night was also, I was driving around early in the evening and the car was hating the heat. Not a good night for turbo cars.

That's right!

The people that gave a shit about the place and tried to push to make it better got sacked or was pushed to resign. All because Bob has lost the plot and is listening to the one lying bitch that is going to fark up the place big time.

My mate (Malcolm, for those who know him) was in charge of "track hire", he had managed to book Calder out every weekend in 2008 and most weekdays, with a few major events that would not have happened without his and Russel's (previous manager) hard work. One bitch wanted the top job and took down anyone that wasn't on her side. Well she now has the top job, but all i hear from current staff and Calder clients, is that the place is a mess with a massive lack of planning/organization/etc.

Hell even the manager at Adelaide International Raceway (AIR) resigned, due to Bob listening to this bitch.

Not good. But really, $65 isnt a lot of money to get to have some fun in your car, legally

[LTHLRB]

calder park drifting.. $90 to compete!! and u end up stacking ur car because the barriers are pretty much ON THE FREAKING TRACK!! but its mad fun.. better than going straight..

dragging is a joke there.. pay that money, wait all night, and have 3 runs..

[KURAUN]

id rather pay $40 at heathcote, run a slower time and get 20 runs in the day

and a better atmosphere at heathcote a bit more relaxed to

[SLYNE]

this may sound like a joke...

rumour has it calder park will be turning into SeaWorld??

[LTHLRB]

better off... its crap.. they needa build a REAL TRACK

[assyrian4evaa]

yaaay seaworld.. lol

last time i was there i was talking to this guy n he said it was getting upgraded(to be a proper track)

[LTHLRB]

yeah i heard their building a propper drag strip away from the circuit so it wont get driven on.. out of propper cement like wsid..

[assyrian4evaa]

yeh lets hope they stop talking n start doing
