While the rest of the country stopped to watch a horse race, Calder Park was holding their Street Outlaws final – a series that went on hiatus during the venue’s shut down.
Unfortunately only a handful of Street Outlaw competitors ended up competing on the day which required racers to prove their road-worthiness by congregating and a local meeting point and driving their racing machines to Calder Park.
Quentin Feast who had just wrapped up Street Machine’s Drag Week event a week earlier was a clear favourite and posted a quick 8.13 in testing during the day with his turbo Torana sleeper.
The main combatant to Feast was Ali Sead’s Torana that cracked a wicked wheelstand, unfortunately when the two faced off a christmas tree malfunction forced a re-run that Sead was not able to make leaving Feast the Street Outlaws Modified winner.
Richard Dedood won the true Street Outlaws category in his Monaro over George Haddad’s GT Falcon.
The day was also utilised for testing by a number of other racers, including Jason Keily’s sweet Supercharged Outlaws hot rod.
Great to see Julian Carafa back on track after a accident earlier in the year at Adelaide.
Calder Park Manager Peter Pisalidis promised Street Outlaws will be back soon with a new series and a few new tweaks to encourage more competitors.
