Drag Racing In Vic

[KezR33]

Hey guys,

My mate and I are keen to get out and hit a drag strip to see whose car is really faster*, I'm trying to work out when and where the best place is to do this?

Heathcote is a long way from where we live, but seems like it's the only place doing it?

Is there an SAU drag day coming up any time soon? I recall them in the past but I couldn't see anything in the calendar.

Cheers.

*220rwkw semi-stripped Sil80 vs. 230awkw Evo, who do you think will win? I reckon due to lack of skill on both our parts the Evo's AWD system will smash me.

that about it for Vic atm.

Don;t think we would be running another drag day in a hurry.

we don;t get numbers club only so it more when other want to work with us, eg the last SAU/WRX/'mura muscle

Hrmm. There's a test and tune the day after DECA.

Could be a bit of fun on the way home, if not too hung over. I might also beat Brad as I doubt his clutch will last till Sunday.

Clutch will definitely be gone by Sunday. Would be interesting to go for a drag though, just to see times

Bob got chucked out end of last year.

new management. no idea if they still doing street legal drags nothing advertised for ti that I have seen.

I heard a while back ANDRA is bringing back drag racing and running events at Calder. The venue will apparently be fixed up etc. If it all goes to plan this could be a very good thing.

After a quick search

Looking forward to taking my son to experience top fuel. Wouldn't mind the odd off street run if they are willing to continue it.

[llama_au]

You never get many runs in at Calder when it is going. I like Heathcote but unless they've fixed it its like a goat track when you pass the finish and the mph at the end was always reading too high. I think I once did about 35 passes in one day there.

[XGTRX]

Calder is increasing their run off to bring the topfuellers back. Think they were talking about it re-opening end if the year. But heathcote is where to go to do heaps of runs. Some vl boys are going up this Sunday.

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah finally after it left in the mid 90s... Calder appears to be getting it's act together to bring back what I grew up on as a kid.
Will mean Calder are going to have to spend some serious money though to fix the entire place up. It's a joke at the moment.

[Buraz]

Apparently they are spending big Ash. It's a shithole atm but it's at least heading in the right direction. At the same time it could all turn out to be bullshit. We'll see!

Spuen calder isn't open at the moment and im unsure when it will be. ill be racing at Heathcote sometime soon (hopefully) to claim top pozzie on the sau-vic drag times in r33 gtst. Im putting my money on the Evo to win.... IF the driver knows how to launch and isn't a pussy on the throttle. Best of luck to both drivers and both cars. Enjoy the race
