Talking [VIC] Calder this Friday night, let's race!

I am keen to take my new car out to Calder this Friday night (30th May) for it's first 1/4 mile run to see what it can do. I know Jelecevic is as keen as mustard to race for the first time.

How about we get a few members down to race (or be a spectator)?

The weather forecast looks good for Friday, top of 16 and a low of 6? How good is that for drag racing? :

So who wants to join us?

I'll be there. May not be racing though as the diff still needs a little more time to be run in properly but I'll be there none the less to see GTGTP run a few more passes. To be honest I'm a little gun shy after it blew at Heathcote for the AFF Nats, I'll definatly be hittin the track Agian SOON as I have a goal to attain but I need to get the confidents back that it aint gonna blow up every time I put it down there first. :togo: . There is a thread for calder this friday in the drag racing section and the Vic/Tas section, so there should be a few forums crew there. Look forward to seeing the new turbo ya got hit the track doug and a propper meeting. I only managed a nod to you at heathcote as I was trying to get the ute stripped and on the track for test n tune.

Cheers
Glenn

Would be great to see you guys there.

Come on Glenn, when I first put my 4.11 diff gears in on a Wednesday night and did 1000km @ 80kph in three nights and raced it at Heathcote on the Sunday.

Sorry we didn't get much of a chance to talk to each other at Heathcote, but it looked like you had your hands full. Glad to hear you got the diff sorted out.

Thanks I will check out the Calder thread, would be nice if we could run from the infield.

Not sure how to go about it either. Spooly if ya readin this what do we need to do to make this happen?

Calder website says I need an approved helmet, do they offer a hire service for the night? If so, how much ? I had a look at the rest of the website and found that they do for open practice, but didn't say anything on the off street drags section.

If they do for drags as well, how much is the helmet hire?

Hey Yabby, I am pretty sure they do hire them, but it's not cheap. At Heathcote there is no charge but you leave your licence with them.

Just get yourself a helmet at a bike shop, can be brought for about $80 and you will have it for next time. Cause once you race you WILL want to go again.

Hey xhxrsix, sounds like a weak excuse to me. :P Why not see exactly what you run without the re-tune then you will will be better able to know how effective the re-tune is. Have I convinced you yet? Come along and spectate if nothing else.

Exhaust woes have been fixed and I'm in. Probably just spectate this time I've never been to the drags before, but I want to run next month (27th) after I get other issues sorted. Will be good to hopefully get to meet some forum members.

What happened to "beautiful one day, perfect the next", they obviously weren't thinking about Drag Racing when they came up with that. lol

Absolutely bog stock on 18" factory tyres, stock intake (with paper filter)...

13.636@167.54 - 2.166 60ft

Then I put an exposed pod filter in, made sweet FA difference but a bit better , so I don't complain...

13.620@167.04 - 2.128 60ft

Bogged down at the start in the next run, but best kph
13.739@167.60 -2.242 60 ft

I am stoked, I beat my best NA time with my new stock turbo. :
Makes me think I made the right decision, I am looking forward to some mods now and learning to race the turbo properly.

It was a great night and caught up with a few B-series guys, which is always good.

I have some video which I will upload tomorrow.

Hey Mark, 10.8 is an awesome time, congrats.
