Dry Lakes Racers Australia

recochem are suppliers of industrial solvents (diggers) and while probably OK I would think not a designed race fuel Yup, after some resurch that's the conclushion I came too also,, thay only seem to mention Speedway use as an afterthought,, however a successful well known salt racer contacted me, ...

Yes Paul, so many times racers are their own worst enemy,, have "always" filted my fuel, however must say not "new" oil,,

Thankyou to the comments on here and those who have contacted me behind the scene, keep 'em coming,,

Seeya's on the Lake and lets hope its not too friggen hot,,

Went to replenish my stocks of "Elf" Methanol, only to be told by my supplier thay only handle/sell "Recochem" Methanol now,, I have never heard of that brand,,

Has anyone on here used it ? and if so, how did it affect performance ??

Yes Chris, I wasent aware of the ruleing for cars,, with very low slung cars I would imagine thay would be a little more forgiving in the event of a flat tyre, in that thay would have a tendency to slide around on their guts,, however a little frightening if a bike bellies out, ya gunna be droped on...

Hey fellas, with these new constructions and if you plan to run FIM, be aware of the new ruleing limiting aerodynamic ground clearance to no further than below the "inside" diameter of your rims

Almonds ?? on tv last night thay said that "Avocardo" is an old Aztex/Spanish word for testicle

Its almost impossible to find reliable information on what is right for LandSpeed,, our sport is so removed from any other motorsport that the best we can do is experience and adapt

Cuppla questions, what c" is the motor, at what rpm do you see peak hp " ?? Also, you plan to Turbocharge in the future ?, and do you think that you might go to Methanol ? Mate, forget 3mile, build for 6, there is no way that when that thing is up and powering you will be backing out at half course ...

my understanding is that most pumps have a prefilter installed in their inlet,, I run a filter after the pump to catch debris in the event of a pump failure,, if your running Methanol, use a stainless filter,, I had a media filter in there this year and the Methanol stripped some media out which end...

ya done good mate ,, you got a GoPro to record all that data in real time ??

"Experience" is the best teacher, we all 'Experience" things differently, its a melting pot

Yes its a interesting one,, Chris I like your "valid" point about slippery vehicles being harder to slow down,, Brakes would be toast anywhere north of two hundred,, your covering over 1/8 of a mile a second, so you pull the chute, drive into it while waiting for it to deploy, then apply a little br...

Hey Pete, there is no video showing on my screen, maybe its a complete smokeout, cant smell anything neither

Just watched the video footage on Slims site,, there was still more braking track when he took the exit,, Interesting point, is that with these 450 cars is getting the things up to speed in the short distance before the end timers, you have to be north of 400 at the mile timing lights 8) Yup, your g...

Consistant ,, im wondering if pulling the thing up has them not taking the next step, how much braking length do thay have on this course

quick calculations show approx. 30mph gain mile to mile, that things nowhere near maxed out
