Brisby I will be amazed if this other track ever gets built. I've been in the know about it for a while now and I just can't see it happening. It's supposed to be part of a full motorsport complex complete with track and skidpan but they always said the drag strip would be built first. But they also said the drag strip was going to be read LAST Xmas. So...

I've seen the plans and they were dated 2000.

It's a bit like the track being built in Bunbury W.A. that was supposed to host a round of the JGTC in Dec 2005. It still hasn't been built either.

[ABuSD]

The new track, its not the same place they were gonna build a lake too and have boat races there?

Cos im pretty sure that complex got cancelled because of the nearby Brimbank Gardens Estate.

[quiksta]

Still too far for all of us living in the south east.

$65.. holy f**k!!

costs $36 out at willowbank.. you always get more runs than you ever got in VIC.

[SABBAi]

I beleive all the complexes are lacking here, except for Phillip Island. I feel it's due to the amount of international coverage and income it brings to the state.

I like the DECA complex, as the roughness about it adds to it's enjoyment. Having said that, it's nowehere as bad as Calder.

[NickR33]

that return road at Calder is a joke... need a 4wd to get back after a run

geez they would make a lot of money if they had the balls to make a motorsport superpark... stop messing around with dyno video games and do it for real...

Isn't it Izumida (D1 driver) who has his own track over in JP? imagine having a mate who owned his own motorsport park... I need to lie down now

[Starionturbo]

Well

I hope they make something. Calder realllllly shits me.

If they make something like the Kwinana Motorplex, which I beleive is the best Dragstrip for both competitor and spectator- it will be a huge success.

Wednesday night off street racing, Friday night Drifting.

Ill be DOWN for that!

Snowie, i hear you. But the fella i was talking to said they have finally got the approvals on the land given to them by the govt and in the next few months they will be kickign over some soil....then agian that could be a very old and tall tale ?

[Bass Junky]

If this goes ahead it will be tops.

Weeknight drags a la WSID.

Will be tops.

[ferni]

... for the construction of a new drag strip to be located ... down the freeway on the way to Geelong....

So a drag strip on the freeway? just close down a couple of lanes hey?

[Jamezilla]

I think you all know the only true option here...

I was told the same thing over 12 months ago mate. As I said I was told It's going ahead and will be ready before Xmas - and that was last year. And yet you will not find a single scrap of media about this place. if it was really going ahead you would think there would be some form of media somewhere about it. Next time we catch up I'll tell you all the stuff I know.

[Roy]

I will have to give the guy a serve then. I thought he should have known better considering the info he normally gives me.

[Phantom32]

just out of curiousity...how much would it cost to set up a motorsport park and wat sort of legalities need to be gotten out of the way?

Is it as simple as finding appopriate location, gaining permits and laying down the concrete/ashphalt?

[Coupe-This]

cant wait till they start building it and then ppl start to complain so it gets put on hold and it just gets screwed around, then it gets finished, ten they start building housing near it, then the new residents complain about it then it ends up like calder
