Dry Lakes Racers Australia

What a great time we had this year. A huge thank you to all those people who helped to make the event the best run one to date. Also the club appreciates all the help from up to 80 volunteers every morning to help move the mats. I know I had a captive audience but on the whole everyone got in and go...

Great news!
Can wait to get back there, have a beer or three and chew the fat with the flies.

It would be great to see Trent and the whole Clare team, even for just a couple of days. Especially with the World Speed Trials on.

I have a number of projects on the run at the moment with three engine rebuilds being done in three different cities in two states. The Falcon is the third priority as the other two need to be finished by Feb next year. I think it is unlikely at this stage unless I win the lottery and can farm the w...

No he didn't. He is talking about the ED Falcon look alike. Getting two trailered cars to the salt will be problematic, and expensive. I might have to get another bus!

The NA V12 is being stripped and checked in Geelong. Big valves, head work, bored and stroked to about 6 ltr, 12:1 comp, Manley H beam rods, forged steel crank. I am just chasing up some camshafts at the moment then it can be buttoned up and brought home to Sydney where I will do the fuel rails and ...

Harky,

"so far 120mph for$2000---imagine how fast I can go for $20,000"

now that is an example of logarithmic growth!
...just sayin'

If two wraps of 100mph tape increases the rating to 200mph then it is not exponential. It is linear.
Just saying...sorry, couldn't help myself.

That's gunna be one fast pallet!

Onward and upward
Things could always be worse!

More than correct!

I cant agree more. A dyno run under load for 3 minutes should give you an idea if you have enough oil capacity. There are definitely benefits to a dry sump system with 3 gallons of oil. I know first hand how much this can hurt parts. Oil temp is generally not a problem because there is very little h...

It is an XJL not the lowly XF. The 5ltr Supercharged SuperSport engine is staying where it is. I am getting the 7.4ltr stroker crank for the V12 ground down to Chev small journal pin size. If it cleans up at that good, we can work with piston pin heights and rod lenghts. That's where it gets interes...
