Dry Lakes Racers Australia

Just back from the lake on Thursday pm. Can report that Steve Vorwerk (aka Smurf) in his R190 International truck ran 151mph! This was a PB for Smurf but unfortunately he had some engine problems at the end of his run so his meeting is over.

Then how did that go kart get a run in 2009?

Fair question.

The rules say at Rule 4.2 that open cars must have a full cage. No doubt the Scrutineers/Stewards exercised some discretion for the go kart.

Someone else might be able to resolve this question.

No cage, no start!

You don't need to worry about bringing Bud into Australia we have many quality beers down here. Just ask for Coopers Pale Ale (Green label) or Sparkling Ale (Red Label). http://www.coopers.com.au/ If you like boutique beers then James Squires is a name you should mention. Golden Ale is my tip there....
