Super Saturday At Calder.

   Super Saturday At Calder.

Fans travelling to Calder Raceway today for the Southern Nationals will get the added bonus of an extra round of qualifying for the Doorslammers, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Bike.

Due to conditions cooling off significantly last night authorities had no choice but to end the night early and resume today at the earlier time of 10.30am. Fans can now expect to see the re-scheduled qualifying round from last night packed into today’s schedule.

There were plenty of strong performances yesterday in all classes and with weather conditions idea today fans can expect ground shaking passes throughout the day.

Stuart Bishop driving the Wallace Bishop Jewellery sponsored Camaro Doorslammer was one who got a handle on the track early and looked impressive and no doubt one to watch today.John Zappier was wild in his pass.

There was no stand-out in the Pro Stock ranks with drivers finding it hard to get a handle on the track. With conditions idea today expect these racers to highlight the show.

Plenty of bike action in support of the Pro Stock bikes for fans of the two wheel variety.

Super Saturday promises so much today and with a full program the fans will be the winners.

Qualifying resumes at 10.30 am with racing going through to 10.00pm.

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.
