For those that weren't there at the Melbourne meeting it was discussed. Evidently the salt had already started to "reclaim" the ramp in the short time it was there. Sounded like given enough time it would be almost part of the landscape. Now that's the big pity.

Pete, you need to build to your lowest common denominator. In this case it's the regulations around the WA rego rules that will cuase you the most grief in term of what you can and can't do. ANDRA and DLRA are competition rules and do not require any where near the compliance that WA rego will. So t...

Read all the stuff under the "About Us" section of the website.

Then read all the stuff about "Lake Gairdner", "Mt. Ive Homestead" and "Track layout"

Then if you have any questions, ask away.

And I did some research and thought it to be significant enough to set the dates forspeed week by the cycles of the moon. That's why the moon appears on the speed week page for each up coming event. I'm not ...
