I have just spoken to the owner of the airport.
This event is NOT ON.
There has been a mis-understanding somewhere.
Please do not turn up at the airport on Sunday.
I will put further information as it comes to hand
Thanks

We will keep everyone informed thank you.

**Falcon Coupe** · 04-05-2007, 08:19 PM

There was an article on this in today's Herald Sun, the owner of Tooradin airport is applying for permission to run drags and also a motorcycle track, the local police are keen to see it happen too. Looks like this may come to something after all.

**Charliewool** · 04-05-2007, 08:22 PM

Off topic a little, But Calder sounds like it's pumping tonight... Can hear it like it's around the corner!.. Some tough stuff there by the sound of it

Would be nice to see this come through, the more "Off Road" activities they can give people the less excuses they have.

So long as it will be 1/4 mile this is a great idea

Yes it would be but how much fun can u have on an 1/8th mile most cars would just brake out of second gear

jd dad · 05-05-2007, 09:06 PM

The article says a strip 1 kilometre long so it will be only 1/8th mile. Nothing wrong with that the last half your only steering anyway and it makes for closer racing

goldberg · 28-05-2007, 07:16 PM

I watched motorsport show call inpitlane they were talking about torradin airport and sandown for street drags R langoor was on the show saying he will keep fighting councils to help get hoons of the road and in a safe place to go he asked for help from any car clubs to help even supercars to help. cams a helping him/ autobarns;coffey ford to. but he needs more help and any ideas i must say his got guts to go on TV and radio 3aw asking for help lets get behind him in anyway we can guys his fighting for all of us not just hoons because councils thinks we all hoons

goldberg · 06-06-2007, 09:39 PM

I have been talking to rick langoor about drags at sandown. he met with council and this is what they said about having street drags at sandown Council and local police have these concerns 1. HANDLING OF FLAMMABLE/EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS 2.ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION. 3.CROWD CONTROL. 4 SAFETY BARRIERS . 5 PERCEIVED LACK OF DRIVER SKILLS/ QUALIFICATIONS 6.PERCEIVED LACK OF RISK ASSESSMENT AND RELATED MANAGEMENT PLANNING. with regards to community amenity there concerns is 1. NOISE 2 FUMES FROM BURNING FUELS AND TYERS.and last SPIN OFF ILLEGAL DRIVING ACTIVITY OCCURRING IN SURROUNDING STREETS and they say sinse calder has drag that calder has more hoons on the road so there you go . but rick is not going to give up he will fight them to the end . His starting up a off street drag club up through [ CAMS] Confederation of australian motorsport there back him up helping with him to run it. JUST saying his trying had to get us a drag strip anyone can help him or give him ideas or want to help with the club please let me know thanks GOLDBERG
