Re: West Australian Timing Association.
Just got home from the get together at Point Reserve. 6 people showed Jeff Lemon, Phil Eggleston, John Kirchner and his son JJ - all motorcycle guys and Ian Wood and Ian Dalby both car guys. It was very much a small social gathering with some talk of trying to find a suitable venue for a test and tu...

Re: West Australian Timing Association.

When I checked a few years ago I found that Rod Hadfield among others had thoroughly investigated and come away e...

Re: West Australian Timing Association.
I spoke to Rosco about this site a couple of years ago. He gave me the contact details of the people who have the lease on the site but did warn me that it would be a no go. They are based at Jandakot I think. I spoke with them - they sell the salt to the food industry and need it to be in pristine ...

So Rob, all this discussion brings us neatly back to annealed hydraulic tube which is low carbon, seamless and readily available in the specified sizes from Van Leeuwin. It's not the cheapest steel tubing on the market though, but it is a quality product - the question is answered. Thank's for your ...

Maybe a well engineered and fabricated vehicle made with inferior materials is going to be more surviable in a bad bingle than a badly engineered piece made from the worlds most exotic materials. Unless you have the resources to destruction test as per F1 will any of us ever really know? I hope we d...

I brought some annealed hydraulic tube from Van Leeuwin in Perth for my cage structure. I have not used it yet and have had the tubing poo - pooed by a guy that builds formula vees on a regular basis. He recommended that I visit Searle Race Equipment located in Welshpool WA because he says they carr...

I think the time has come for them all to be listed and categorised so that they can be presented to the club management for consideration. If this is not done soon they could be forgotten...
