Now I have a free Sunday, still we have the Ford Nats @ HPR 12th & 13th Sep, hoping for a nice sticky start line.

Bob is spending lots of money at Calder and Adelaide Raceway.

Rumour has it that the Government has put up $9.2m for upgrades to Calder, there are lots of rumours about the future of Sandown lalalalala.

Bottom line, they needed to seperate the drag track from the race track, car racing in the rain had to be cancelled/suspended when running over the drag start line due to the adhesive spray.

Starting to come together, certainly better than it was but it's no WSID for presentation, hopefully with a bit of paint old calder will scrub up alright.
