Dry Lakes Racers Australia

Hi Greg, A tough call and I guess it will come down to practicalities in the end. Running two events close together will require a lot of coordination and logistical challenges I hear what Ronnie says about the FIM costs but at the end of the day we should try to hold the event when the conditions a...

See you there mate - or Port Augusta Friday nite

Hi Russ, the D2954 is what I've been using for years with no issues. It fits to a 15" rim which opens your options and the OD is same as hayabusa which means your ratios will be OK. These tyres do grow by up to 2" at speed even when pumped to 100 psi. The guys at North Terrace Tyres are good to deal...

Thanks Ronnie, that would be great. We're planning to arrive Sat arvo - hopefully not too late in the day and will make space for Russel as well
Looking forward to catching up again with everyone

Wow, great progress and looks definitely within reach to hit the salt March 3rd Firing it up for the first time will be nerve wracking I'm sure. Im in the same boat with wiring on my beast - new loom to be completed, full motec system set up then dyno etc etc. Let me know if you want to share pit ar...

All quiet Russ.... I am assuming you are buried under as the clock ticks closer to launch date.
It will be good to see the bike in whatever state its in.

Hi Russell, Heat exchanger in the tank works perfect on my bike. Norm from Aussie Desert Coolers did an awesome job making it up for me. I also use the tank water to cool the water to air intercooler and capacity of 25 litres works ok. That way I can use water wetter in the motor cooling system and ...

Hi Russell, Progress looking great The outriggers I stuck on my bike worked better than expected I opted for simple pneumatic cylinders operated via a 12v 5-port solenoid valve. Wired to a simple thumb switch it worked a treat. I faced the wheels to retract forward and upwards so when I drop them ba...

Hi Russell, Good concept on the build - you have a few hours ahead in the workshop. Building a bike on low budget just means it takes longer but also gives you time to rationalise and perfect your ideas. Laying down in front of the motor is the way to go - you have reduced the frontal area by 30% - ...

Richard now has taken the fastest one way speed from me at Bonneville with a stellar one way pass of 260.757 and I heard he hurt the motor, no worries however I know he has another one for the Bubs meet. Congrats to Award, Richard Assen and his crew!! John formally the fastest Noonan John, I gotta ...

Rob,

No worries - we can throw it in the container with the 4 bikes comin back from Speedweek and BUB's.
Do you need it collected from somewhere or delivered to where we can collect?
Cheers
Richard

the zx12 is in a state of disrepair at the moment, however everything is running to schedule ,,, actually there are four of us "tropical salts" planing on bringing our bikes over for 2009 ,ooops, make that five, almost forgot luckie,,, we are going to have a bar-be-que to discuss who will...

"A" Rockey, thanks for shareing ,,,i watched you blokes on the salt work and wait during this years BUB ,,, a well deserved record to you, Mike, his family, your family, and the crew I second that sentiment too - well done Rocky and by the way you are too young to hang your boots up yet C...

Gidday Staytie, Ive managed to get a full sponsorship to cover the costs to go back to bonneville again this year Last year it cost a serious bunch o cash even though we had great help from Mike Ackatiff and crew. Based on last year for the two events this year here is a rough breakdown of expenditu...

Norm at Aussie Desert Coolers made a great Radiator for my turbo busa which I subsequently fitted a Craigs and Davies electric pump to. The whole set-up has given me the most consistent cooling yet. You will need to slightly modify the thermostat - drill a hole in it.
