APSA Round 1- Calder Raceway

What a season 2015 was, and 2016 is starting big at Calder Park on 27th Feb..


Entries are due for our Round 1 for 2016, and you can enter online at: http://calderparkdragracing.com.au/index.php/competitor-info/online-entry-form.

The 2016 Season is quickly upon us and before we know it it will be Finals time again at the end of the season - so pull your finger out and get cracking people!!!

Calder Park recently held a successful Australian Nationals and come up well with several National records and PB's for many. The atmosphere that Calder offers as well as the Melbourne fans that flock to see Drag racing will please many of our members, who got a glimpse of some of our APSA Radial cars at the Australian Nationals as a teaser (they got a standing ovation several times).

All APSA shootout entrants are welcome to run at the Fast Friday street meeting on Friday night to this event which starts at 6pm the night prior and you can also credentialFriday Night to be ready for Saturday race day.

Some racers have been inquiring whether we can have a Test Day on the Friday and ask anyone who is keen to please contact us ASAP to register for this ($550 p/team). All TnT participants will also be able to attend the Fast Friday session (6pm - 10:30pm) for free.  If we can get the required takers we will make this happen, so please send us an email by Monday evening to: apsa@live.com, to lock it in.

Just to confirm what dates we have planned for 2016 which are:
  • Round 1 - 27th Feb, Calder Park
  • Round 2 - 9th April, Sydney Dragway
  • Round 3 - 25th June, Willowbank Raceway
  • Round 4 - 3rd Sep, Benaraby Raceway
  • Round 5 - 27th October, Calder Raceway (TBC)
  • APSA Nationals - 3rd Dec, Sydney Dragway
.
As far as rules go for 2016, we're starting a Facebook group (only members that have raced during the current or past season) discussion on FB to review and make recommendations for the future.  This is happening over the next few days, so expect an invite - plus our new web site should be online this week (what a pain thats been). I often get questions about rules and what rules I am thinking about changing, but have to keep reminding everyone that members that actually race that class are the ones that  need to agree and  make any change via the APSA Committee.

While we are talking about rules, if a modification or item is listed as allowed, not allowed, or the weight for a particular combination as stated on OUR Rules - thats what it is ! (no matter what happens in the USA, for eg). 

Stay safe and run fast, hope to see you all at Calder.
