Re: Altered Challenge? Hey Geoff There was an All Altered Spectular at Calder in 1981 or 1982 I am not sure but one or the other. I was one on the headline cars at the time, and we were paid to attend. I actually had Trevor Hawthorne and Dave Lomas as crew for the weekend. Unfortunately we only got 2 qualifing passes in and over come a dust storm then it went from 40 deg. to 5 deg. and to top it off poured rain till late . The meeting was cancelled so a wasted trip as usual. I cant remember who organised it but it was a good turnout they even went to the trouble of having a saturday night dinner and entertainment. pity about the weather. Kerry Tremayne

Re: Altered Challenge? Kerry That makes me feel better, I just couldn't get the date right, and bloody Whitey was no help either. Man that was a star studded crew you had, it would have cost you a fortune for Dave's drink though Talk later mate CYA Geoff

Re: Altered Challenge? I sure Richard Bottica was trying to get some of the nitro funny car guys to fit up altered bodies for a match race deal not so long ago? Now that I would travel to see.....no risk

Re: Altered Challenge? Yes great idea. You could always run a heads up format for the faster altereds and a dial-in for the slower cars. You would get some nice fast race cars there. ps. Davo, are you lending us a hemi!! ---------------- John C

Re: Altered Challenge? Ok, so this started as simple question and look at the responses Surely the people that promote the sport and want to see it grow can think up better idea's than me (that aint hard either), lets get stuff done and pack every track we run at every meeting! Give the FANS what they want, give the RACES what they want and everything else will fall into place! ---------------- Greg "greyhoundracer" Wilson ! ! !

Re: Altered Challenge? Just thinking out loud, maybe someone can put my mind to rest? If you hired Willowbank out for a weekend, found a sponsor, did all the legals, and ran some outlaw classes; ie. Fuel/Nitro altereds, outlaw doorslammer, nitro funny car etc. Appart from the money, what are the other objections? ---------------- Relax, you'll live longer
