    ANDRA are doing a real good job to help this move along. I thought when it started, no way... but the momentum looks unstopable right now, also starting to see a really big backlash on the over the top hoon laws and internet filter too which is good . Keep pushing it!

    I also think the hoon laws are really helping with this, backfired almost . Although a track wont stop street racing amoung slow cars it has reduced it alot in this area (probably less than half what it was), and for all intent there is no street racing of fast cars here anymore

    The issue certainly does need pushing!

    It would be beneficial to the state on many many levels!

    So please spread the word and start posting up on various forums etc

    Cheers

    I went to the Motorvation gig that was at Flemington last weekend, and dropped my name down on the petition, was great to see all the dragsters/burnout cars there in person, kinda hit home when I saw a few - project vehicles, you could see the bare chassis and a few other bits and pieces, obviously strengthened and whatnot ready for 10-second quarters, and big stickers on the windscreen saying "no point finishing my car now, got no where to race".

    Yep Drag racing has stayed alive and well in the Western half of the states, there's heaps of fast 1000hp cars out this way and plenty of good 1/8th mile tracks but even the guys from around here wouldn't mid going to a nearby 1/4 mile once in a while. Some of the more serious guys often go to Sydney for a race and that's all money that's going to NSW rather than Victoria just because there's been no suitable track here for at least 10 years and even back then Calder had allready gone to rubbish

    unfortunatly if its not approved before the election and the same party get back in we will not see a new track in melbourne for at least another 3 years, so if they get in bob jane will probably get the money. some people from motorvate melbourne(wont name any names) have upset the current sporting minister and it looks like we wont see a new track. if the oppisition gets in we have more of a chance of getting a new track because the oppisition sporting minister likes drag racing.
