Calder Rally Masters

[Snowman]

Calder is putting together a little 2 day Road Touring Rally all to be held on the premises at Calder Park on March 11-12.

Basically this will be like a mini Dutton Rally etc in that events will range from track, to drag, to motokhana auto tests. I understand they will utilise the the track, the motorbike training area and even the ThunderDome.

You can enter either as a driver only or as a driver / co-driver team.

Requirements are the usual track day requirements of LS2 or equivalent license, helemt, fire extinguishers and wrist to ankle clothing.

Entry fee is very reasonable at $350pp.

Down side is it is on the same weekend as our Championship Round at Phillip Island. However despite this I am entering into this event.

Cheers.

They'll have to bring in the loggers to take down some of the trees that have grown in the thunder dome.

I heard that it had been / is being resurfaced.

I emailed calder for a copy of the supp regs for this last week, but haven't had a reply yet.

I could only find the entry form on the website. Do you have any idea where to get the supp regs from?

[Snowman]

yep - I have them (sorry I should have posted it in the original post)

Same weekend as Phillip Island WRX Club Sprint.

Having trouble making a decision here...

[Snowman]

Crap - you'll come to Calder because your a sucker like me.

Hey - it's just been announced over the weekend as part of this event one of the track "layouts" to be used will be the GP Track Layout which incorperates both the main track and the Dome into one lap. This layout has only ever been used once before for the 1989 World Touring Car round - which was won funnily enough by a Skyline!

Here's the layout

scrutineering is on the friday, what a killer!

[Snowman]

It doesn't take very long so you should only need to be there for half an hour max. Gives you a good excuse to take the day off and put the zillion stickers I'm sure they will give us on.

The only oddity compared to a normal track day requirement is 2kgs worth of fire extinguishers instead of 1. (Which is the same requirement for the Dutton). So if you have a 1kg one already you can simply put in another one and that is sufficiant.

So far we could have a nice little SAU contingent attending this!

LOL...March 11-12? I can wait to do PI another day, this looks liek great fun at a bargain price...

I so need to get some sponsors..but who in there right mind would sponsor a lowly R32 GTST

[Snowman]

Maybe you need to contact Abbott's for an Invalid sponsorship.

[Roy]

YEHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But my local bottle o says they dont brew the stuff anymore?

Plus, not a good buy line, "When i race my car, im always sure to be fuelled by Invalid Stout...fancy a schooner?"

[Scotsman]

It might not be a good sales pitch, but it suits you to tea!

My entry form was sent off today.

Are you guys doing this event by yourself? I have just put out some feelers for some NSW Co-Drivers. NSW cant lose!

[Ant97GTR]

That layout would be lots of fun

Typical that this comes up after I've been relocated to a desert country town...ooops I mean Perth

[GTRgeoff]

How do I get away with this........?

Way cool and a realistic price too.

[Ant97GTR]

oh and Geoff.....paul says you owe him a beer

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Normally I'd do an event like this with a co-driver but in this case I'm not confident in the life span of my engine so I'm entering as driver only.

Plus - my usual co-driver is convinced that in these types of competitions his car is better so this will be a good test to see if it really is or not.
