Hi Melbzetec. You will be able to sit anywhere you like 'cause they don't get too many spectators at street meets. At full competition meets I always liked to sit behind the startline, a little way up the hill and slightly to the right of the track.
That gives you a good perspective of the whole track.

Make sure you take a jacket (they don't call it Calder for nothing) and don't bother getting there too early as nothing happens before 6:00pm.

Hopefully you will see some full race cars there as well, which will be a buzz if you've never been before.

Hope you and your kid have a blast.
