**price at calder is $80 for street entry, $130 for comp side and $25 for spectators
**price at heathcote $50 for racing an $15 for spectators

looking at the heathcote web site, it's now $60 to race & $20 to spectate.
i'd race at either, but heathcote is more relaxed in alot of way's

[Allen]

Depending on the date, I'll tag along as a spectator and do photos... My POS wouldn't survive the 1/4 mile

Heathcote would be better in my opinion from a photo point of veiw, but I'm not really bothered.

Im up for either, prefer Heathcote though.

[holmsy]

how many do we need for it to happen?

[Hiboost]

how many do we need for it to happen?

As many as we can. An hopefully we can start to get more an more each year an start boosted nationals ( hire the whole track just for us)

[EFFalcon]

yeah, Hiboost isnt suggesting a private day.
but just to rock up to a test n tune as a group.

I reckon heathcote would be more suited.

Have never done anything like this with my car/me driving so thought I might give it a go, not sure which car though. Least having boosted day people know not to have high expectations from me Wouldn't go to calder though.

[ClassicAU]

If its not a private day/night, then Calder can eat a fat one. I hate racing there, the atmosphere is too intense. If we could hire Calder out just for us I’d go, but if not then only Heathcote for me. They are much more lax up there, I feel much more comfortable racing there. Despite I will be lucky to crack a 15!

[Steady]

I reckon heathcote would be more suited.

heathcote might be open again for a private day now calder is back.
if we can get the numbers.
if you ran it with a few sites you'd have to do alright you'd think?
here, FM, maybe XFalcon?

[iCER]

costs like 5k to hire out caulder for the day. So forget that. Im a maybe. If headsex pulls his finger out and has my car finally tuned.

[EFFalcon]

Maybe, but you'd need about 80-100 on the list to ensure atleast 50 showed.

[Steady]

prepay, no refunds.
don't even book it till you've got the cash to cover heathcotes costs so they are happy.

[ClassicAU]

I think that would be the only way Steady, but kents here are cheap. I personally would be happy to pay double normal entry fee for Heathcote to ensure its a private day, but I doubt many othere people here would too.

[needfordspeed]

That or we need to get people to pre-pay, i'd be down for calder, but probably not heathcote unless I towed the car there.

[needfordspeed]

OK guys, I just spoke to Ian from calder, he said it'd probably too expensive if we want to hire out the track, but we'd get a good deal if we went up as a club on a day that they already have the drags organised, (for example if we went on the saturday that just passed). For $80 we get entry for the person racing and one passenger, we'd get our own area and upto 20 garages for us to work on our cars and we'd also get a area above the garages for a BBQ and that type of thing.

I don't think we'd get the numbers to organise our own private day, and costs would also be fairly high. Ian was saying there would be no problem getting about 7-8 runs in.

Let me know what you guys think and we'll try get a date set.

[needfordspeed]

Oh and we'd also get cheaper spectator entry, but that may have to be pre paid.

[SnyperEB]

Will we get infield access?

[Michael (HYPOEB)]

Dose Heathcote get as packed as Calder?
Its a two and a half hour drive for me to get to Calder so who konws how long it will take to get to Heathcote

[BLKPHN]

[Michael (HYPOEB)]

Mite even try find a car that i can tow mine in.
Not to sure if my car will be ready to hit the track in two months anyway.

[JUSTXR8]

Id come to heathcote but my XR8 is just a tow car and its bumps the speed limiter about 60meters before the finnish line anyway

Would be keen to see some falcons have some runs

[jamie8888]

I think he said it was gonna be $130 for infield, and we wouldn't get as many runs and there's no drinking or kids allowed in there.
