Dry Lakes Racers Australia

Quiet a few years back I had thoughts of doin a liner, but the infustructure to run one made me say "no" :wink: ,, plan was to have the skids made from flat bar (water skies), when retracted thay would conform with the body shape,, air actuated with common ram,, In the scetch above that yo...

Your comment "the faster it went, the straighter it went", so why change it just to make it more comfortable to ride there an back, you want to go "Fast" don't you

What will be the deal regards "Red Hats" ?,, will folks be elegiable for a Red Hat on a one way pass over the record, or will thay get a hat with setting the record ??,, I am in favour of the hat only if you set the record ,, I would also suggest that the Hats bear a marking that distingui...

What has been said ,,

Have you run at Gairdner?,, if not, take the bike "as is", have a cuppla runs before committing to your project

Would like to see the one way records (one hit wonders) discontinued,, thay would detract from the "real" records,, Back in the day I was a sitting member on the North Queensland Divisional Council of ANDRA,, Recall (if memory serves me correctly) a discussion that our drag racing records ...

OneMoto (CC) Clear windscreen to suit LandSpeed fairing, AU$50.00, buyer pays shipping,,

More rear brake might have helped transfer some weight back too although on a rigid frame it won't do as much as a sprung rear "squat". beg to differ here,, on a rigid it will throw weight to the rear, similar to towing a rope behind a boat, pulls 'em straight,, however with sprung rear su...

Bridgstone BT003, never had an issue with them,, at most 4% slip,, heaps of passes at 190 to 204,(same front and rear tires been on there for about seven years I think) one pass at 223 and this year 218(gps)

in this game, especially with the 300+k bikes, any small weight difference makes a noticable difference, not so much on the naked, moreso faired

yup, I think when we were talking on the lake I mentioned that it would have been interesting to see if you got back into the throttle and applied more rear brake would have made it behave,, I don't think aero (at that speed) is the problem, could be if you were faired, but not naked, and its happen...

Steve, that made me giddy ,, you say you did the same speed on the short course, no problem,, were you off the throttle quicker and on the brakes harder and earlier, not as slow of a backoff as the long course ???

yup, checkout the 2018 "Event's" page

I have been told that thay will be open for both events

yeah I was thinking that Pete, but also thought that youse may have been working towards a certin crankcase pressure before the transfer ports opened

Interesting, thanks Dave, will catchup with you on the lake and talk more
