This is not a decission made by vicdrift as we have not yet notified them that the may event was not going to be run due to funding. I called calder park today to get a quote for the next drift skills which was going to be turned into a DRIFTKANA due to DA being on the same weekend. Only to be told that all vicdrift events at calder have been cancelled. This was a shock to us as we have supported calder park in the past and helped them get their drift nights back on track. I have attached the letter:

We have been on the phone to winton today and have booked an extra 2 days at winton so that we can still provide track time to everyone this year. so we now have 6 more days this year at winton raceway and none at calder park. We have also been informed by winton that due to the last 3 days at winton losing money, That if the next winton day loses money yet again winton will be taking over the running of all drift events & practice held at winton raceway and if the events are still not supported they will not run drift again.
This is a sad day for me as I have spent the last 3 years of my life trying to get drift happening again in victoria. I know that there is a marketing issue and other issues but that is no reason that drivers have not turned up to practice days. We have not changed the marketing plan in the last 2 years and have never had an issue until now.
So please if you want the club to continue running drift days please come to the next winton day on the 19th April yes it is still a comp day but its being run on the same format as last year with the comp being after lunch. We really now need to see the support of the drivers because with out you we will not be able to run again in the future.
I dont want to imagine a state with no drift events
