Dry Lakes Racers Australia

There are many considerations to be taken into account when determining the most appropriate time for the meeting, some are obvious and others are not. For example the date in March used to be determined by the timing of a full moon, as a full moon means a high water table. Now it's determined by wh...

I've just updated the DLRA Merchandise page, this lists all the items currently available. (New images soon)

I encourage you all to buy up big to support the club and help to cover costs and ensure the successful continuation of the club.

Keith,
Can I just say how gracious and generous you and the team were. It's a damn long way to come for a beer and a handshake. I'd certainly like to see you, Tonya and Dave come back some day and have a real fair dinkum go.

I think the silver dollars went for $65 each.
The funniest bit was when John Lynch bid and won a roll of dollar coins, Animal threw them to him and they just exploded and went everywhere, sorry John, just my warped sense of humor

Does a time set on tarmac still count as a land speed record ? NO As there will be better grip compared with salt, would the records count on a tarmac surface. I thought it might have be a natural surface such as salt, sand or even ice. Your assuming that the grip would be better. Each location has...

Hi Guys Im hoping to go to the salt next year with a roadster powered by a 500 caddy motor rather the repowering my 32 coupe. Can you please have a look at the image below of a Duece Customs roadster body, especially the firewall. Would the way its set up (recessed) exclude it from being used on a ...

Knowing more about SA than about why you race where you do on the southern end of Lake Gairdner, whenever I look at the map I wonder why you don't do it up the northern end of the lake, which is virtually on the Stuart Highway. Or better still on Island Lagoon, and use Woomera as your base. Woomera...

As I will be with Animals camp, there's every chance I will have the timing slips passing through my hands. As per usual someone from Club Animal will be recording each run as results are announced over the radio to put up on the board. I'll be happy to put together a list.

G'Day Dee, you really know how to start an arguement. Trouble is there are so many variables. Air temp, air density, time of the day, wind speed and direction and on it goes. Then there is engine driven wheels vs jet or turbine. One thing we do know is that the US cars don't seem to go as quick when...

Graham the reason why the we're tightening up on numbers and class descriptions is to try and avoid the mess that has happened in previous years, where it was extremely difficult for the starter to relay to the timekeeper the correct information. You only have to look at some of the early years and ...

Track - 135.957*, -32.202*
Mt. Ive Station 136.334*, -32.556*

These are just guesstimates until get some more data. But they will get you damn close.

You don't have to have one, so long as you can get to the start line under your own power and leave the startline without a push, your sweet. The rescue teams are at the other end to pick up all the pieces..........

Support vehicles must have; UHF radio Orange Flashing Light Extinguisher Spill Kit Plus support staff must be wearing orange vests. The was some stuff in one of the newsletters, I'll dig it out and post it. I'll also make sure it gets on the web pages, something we've missed. Don't panic too much, y...

I've just posted some new pages to the website. Hopefully these are a little bit better than a mud map, and answer some questions. see m and m these are still in draft form but I don't expect them to change much between now and the 5th Both these pages will form a handout that I think will be given ...

Channel 7 interviewed Gail and Al Phillips today at the location of their Streamliner near Adelaide.  They will be running a piece about land speed racing, the DLRA event in March, and our team coming from the U.S.  It will be broadcast on the todaytonight show at 6:30 pm, possibly as early as tomo...
