Drag Racing Fires Up At Calder Tonight

Drag Racing Fires Up At Calder Tonight

With an unusually mild end of autumn, conditions for tonight’s legal off-street drag racing should be ideal.

Following a successful Test N Tune last week, organisers are hopeful of a big turnout tonight at Calder Park Raceway.

There will be plenty of photographers on site to capture that perfect drag racing image as well as some on-line publications to cover off the night. Lots of exposure for the local drag racing fraternity.Expect to see some of Melbourne’s toughest street cars and bikes hit the strip from 6pm. Gates open at 4.30pm with racing from 6 - 10.30pm.

Check out some of the action from last week’s Test N Tune.

Street meets are a great way to try out drag racing and test the performance of your everyday street vehicle in a safe and legal environment.

Calder Park will be hosting ANDRA sanctioned street meets through the second half of 2013 so you can experience the thrill of Melbourne's own quarter mile.

Entry cost: $65 (includes $5 ANDRA divisional day licence)

Spectator entry: $25

To go racing at street meets, all you need is a street vehicle that passes basic safety checks on tyres, brakes, steering and liquid leaks. If you race a vehicle with a manufacture date of pre 1 January 2008 you can run up to 11.00 seconds without the need for a tech inspection or ANDRA licence. Vehicles manufactured post 1 January 2008 can run to 10.00 seconds without the need for a tech inspection or ANDRA licence.
