not sure about that, from what i have heard it is being held by the guys who did the last 2 big shootout meetings at Calder which included over $20000 prizemoney, so it looks to be sure to go ahead

will be even hugerer now

See 16 of the country’s best Doorslammers with Victor and Ben Bray, Marice Fabietti, Peter Kapiris and Sean Mifsud.

The “Spring Horse-Power Challenge” also has a full line up of some of Australia’s fastest cars and bikes. In what promises to be the biggest drag racing event in Victoria. So keep the 20th of November free for what will be the best line up of cars and bikes in the country.

I do agree they should have a class for rocket powered trikes, but alas, they don't !

Is that what you have ?

Would be quite interested to hear what you have that won't fit in any class.

If it is a fast long skinny thing with a pump on it there is Supercharged Eliminator
If it is a fast long skinny thing there is Top Elimintor
If it is a slow skinny thing there is Super Eliminator
When they say altereds, they also means long skinny things.
Ie Modified in the ANDRA rulebook

I hope not, don't want to waste more money on fees and licenses that I won't use.
However it is still fully insured.
I don't see anywhere where it says it is an ANDRA event.

It's not an ANDRA event, and yes, Calder does have full insurance...
