adis Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 They want $60 for Heathcote now? Oh man... I know!!! Seems like everything is going up except my pay.

R31Nismoid Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yer i know, my pays gone backwards I'd not have an issue paying $60 @ Heathcote if it was properly prepped. Tis a long way to go for a unprepped track that's running the same surface as it was laid 30 odd years ago. Not HC are charging $60 - Calder is suddenly reasonably priced and you get a prepped track in good condition... Not the best, but the best in the state lol.

R31Nismoid Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Oh look Heathcote has it's place. Not saying it's bad dude. I've raced there more than I've raced @ Calder over the years and it was good value under the old owners. I remember Paul has like 25 or 30 runs on SAU Drag Day we had up there - that was surely worth some sorta prize.
