SLY LS1 Member 49 Member For: 20y 10m 25d Location: Melbourne Posted 16/04/08 04:55 AM Share Posted 16/04/08 04:55 AM (edited) Here is an updated of what is going on at Calder Park re the drag strip.The current plan is that they will run drag racing during May & June, then they will close the track for 2 months that is July and August, during this time they will:1. Move the start and finish down the track by some 15m2. Install all new cabling systems for timing etc3. Move the left hand concrete wall over to the edge of the strip eliminating the current grassed area4. If time allows they will build a new Drag Race Control centre on the hill in line with the strip centre line. If they run out of time they will do it later in the yearCheersWayne Edited 16/04/08 04:56 AM by SLY LS1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44531-calder-park-drag-strip-works-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn it into a real track like WSID or the Motorplex.
