dezz Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Phillis, mates mate went the other night, pretty sure he didn't book or anything, but he got knocked back for excessive camber (drift car), and they didn't let him run..

LTHLRB Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 dezzus i just got my alignment all set up earlier today. zero'd out the camber on the rear because it was squatting like a frog. Things good to go. Flyingfridge - im going 100%, its been way too long since iv run a number and ive never run it since i did all this work.

V28VX37 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I was just spectating on the Friday gone, it was a pretty good turnout, lots or Skylines running and some pretty decent numbers too. Btw Calder is traditionally shocking at cancelling stuff at the last minute (we hiked up the other week for nothing), so make sure you call to confirm on the day, the number and other info here: http://www.calderparkdragracing.com.au/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439627-calder-park-friday-nights/#findComment-7209286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack- Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Have been planning on going soon as well, been getting ready for a few weeks, just need to buy a full face helmet. Someone should organize an event Anyone know anywhere to get a cheap/decent helmet that meets the standards? Gonna try local Suzuki bike dealer, although heard they're pricey...

I got mine from http://www.amxsuperstores.com.au/ $100 full face helmet. If I was getting into some more high speed track work, I'd be going for a more expensive higher quality one though.

Jack- Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ah sweet as! was expecting to pay around $300-$400.. $100 is a bargain! For those that go to Calder events run by ANDRA, are the scrutineers strict on any specific? Noise height etc?

LTHLRB Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 You'll need a proper snell approved helmet. It is protecting your melon after all. I use my dirt bike helmet which seems to keep them happy. Hopefully next week it stays dry and is a little on the crisp side at night. Should be awesome.

I ran on Friday for the 1st time in 2 years and didn't realize. Had to run to the servo to get cash out. $65 to enter and $25 to spectate. Phillis, mates mate went the other night, pretty sure he didn't book or anything, but he got knocked back for excessive camber (drift car), and they didn't let him run.. I was next to that bloke getting scrutineered. They didn't let him run cos his tyres were basically rubbing on his guards and he was being a wanker.

LTHLRB Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Whyd you haveto pay 25 to spectate though? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439627-calder-park-friday-nights/#findComment-7210343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odium Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Whyd you haveto pay 25 to spectate though? Because it's a fun night out with hours of entertainment and they need a little thing called money to pay bills and keep the lights on (literally). 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/439627-calder-park-friday-nights/#findComment-7210453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTHLRB Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Fun night out with hours of entertainment that requires a little thing called money? Sounds like a night with your sister Gtrjet: if I enter my car its just entry fee for me and spectators fee for anybody else yes? Or enter the car and pay that 25 fee ontop?
