Calder is a boring course in my opinion. Concrete walls aren't a worry at Calder as they cut the final loop off so its only the main strait wall that will be a issue.
Sandown and winton are both great tracks and take a bit to get right.
The island track is nuts but its dear to do days there compared to Sandown&Winton but worth it if you can afford a little more and have a reliable car with a couple of spares!

Thats my two cents

calder does an open practice day every Wednesday i think (it's on their website), we should make a date to all go and apply for annual leave or whatever, it's boring because its flat, concrete walls arn't a problem there

i think it may be $300 for the day

Ummm yeah flat and boring but for a first time racer setting your self up in a car you haven't driven or know is 100% reliable yet- seems a perfect venue to build track time and confidence IMHO.

We are not all schumachers lapping hokenhiem regularly.

Personally I wouldn't be game in pi till some decent track time, even sandowns rear straight catches out the mildly talented drivers.

Just chip away at it nic a d do your thing.

I just want to be on a track don't care which one just one I can do Whateva fun I can at the time

Yeah, at the end of the day they all have nothing on a rally stage

I bought a donor exa ca18 so my new setup will be

So new specs will be a ca18det with stroker kit brought out to a 2.2 with tr29,z32,550cc inj,nistune,fmic,zorst, arc airbox! That's it I think

only problem with calder is that its so bumpy it almost is a rally stage.

some might say its boring, depends how you look at it.
its a small track with only a few corners, i like the challenge of trying to go quicker
and quicker as its hard to find time around there

either way, datsun + racetrack + going flatout legally = awesome fun

whens the shakedown run likely to be?
and mildman? you ready YET?

What kind of Rear wheel KW are you looking to achieve Supafatto?

I dont know much about ca18's, so id like to roughly know :)

I'll be looking at around the 200mark

got my springs today
225pound 250pound 275pound will see if i need stiffer when i hit the track
