After trying to race at Lake Gairdner for 2 years we are forced to give up and bring the streamliner back to the USA. We need to run the car. We had so much fun in 2001 racing there we really wanted to do it again. For the people that I have met before and was looking forward to seeing again, please...

The casting number on the block would be the only give away. Having built many Corvette motors I can tell you this. Save the old block if it is the original motor. In the US the original motor makes it worth about $10K more. Of course that is US dollars and they are going down fast. LOL Doug Odom in...

Sure wish you guys would change the name of this thread. Every time I look and see " Raining at the Lake" I panic. Can't we call it " Condition of the salt?" or something like that? I'm not looking forward to 14 hours in that aluminum tube as it is. Hell, I'm getting old waiting ...

I have run air bag suspension on 2 successful LSR cars and like them very much. Most LSR cars want very little suspension travel. Proper air bags will give you the vibration isolation that you want without excessive wheel travel. If you are going to be at Lake Gairdner this year come by and talk to ...

Oh Yes I'm coming for sure. Hard to believe it's been 6 years since I was there. The liner is in Adelaide and I will get there about a week before we take it out to the lake to finnish up the little things. It got scratched up a bit in the container when a support tube on the trailer broke and rubbe...

I believe Al and Gail are taking the Streamliner to the car show. That was what I put into the container to go to Australia. The Sprite is sitting in my shop in California with the Corvette. Doug Odom
