Top Fuelers finally back to Calder
« on: October 16, 2013, 06:30:37 PM »
This weekend Calder Park hosts the first ANDRA round for Top Fuel since 2001, looking forward to it, I had to travel to Sydney for my Top Fuel fix, hopefully this is a return to the top tier drag racing for Victoria.  They are apparently running 1000 ft due to safety concerns for this event, the same as the USA now, hopefully will be back to quarter mile next meeting.

Anyone else heading up?

You just about need to be at $7000 per quarter mile run, and that is if nothing goes wrong
