Dry Lakes Racers Australia

first of all congrats to the members for running a cracker event under trying conditions my first time and not the last. all my business associates and mates now have salt fever oh dear!!! i just have two minor questions 1/ the speed recorded on a licence check in a certain class, is that registere...

another reason the SCTA gets through more runs Speedweek 2009 Inspections Saturday, 07 February 2009 Last night the combined SCTA-BNI boards made the decision to open the salt one day earlier than published for inpection and pit setup. The first day the salt will be available..... Last night the com...

WOW if I had or could get hold of 30K you would have a buyer right now

be carefull for what you wish for.we don't need the bad press if two or three newbies on hayabusas go down.their must be a learning curve in place to limit speeds for new riders /drivers not just tuesday 125 wed.150 wed afternoon 175.as an example the 175 lakester pass at 200,not a good example. ma...

I believe its the goal for most of us salties to achieve a speed of 200mph + ( but I could be wrong?)so I will throw open this topic ,what does it cost to go 200 or what do you think it will cost if you have not been there already for me the way to achieve 200+ was an easy choice ,firstly it had to ...

from a scrutineers viewpoint problems mostly arise from one of these 1.builder / owner /racer has not read the rule book 2."" " " " has read the rule book but has interpreted the rules incorrectly and/or not sort guidance from a scrutineer during the build process 3. has rea...

for what its worth I asked some questions on landracing.com , firstly about running 2 courses ,they(SCTA) changed over to 2 courses in 1990 and it had some teething problems the first year , I have yet to assertain how many entries they had back in 1990 ,but expolating for the 2008 data , they put t...

Hi ALL! Here's another idea open for discussion Lets break the meeting in two like they do in Boneville (as a lot of people use Boneville as a reference for ideas) Lets have a car, lakester, truck meeting only and a Motorcycle meeting only this would halve the entries and double the amount of runs ...

2009 was not a good year for hawkwind racing , I was not comming to speedweek this year due to the ill health of my wife, but a last minute decission on saturday afternoon saw me hastely packing and hooking up the trailer with a not finished bike ,driving straight through 21 hrs and arriving sunday ...

Yet again we dicuss the subject of "VOLUNTEERING" this comes up each year without a resolution , I believe the offer was made to run the event up till 7pm friday if enough volunteers could be found to say back and help with the cleanup , only the sound of crickets could be heard when volun...

Rob ,go for it ,I hope it resolves for the better for the DLRA and we have another venue to choose from
cheers

some rambling thoughts , Interest in this type of event ,will greatly depend on several things ,firstly if gairdner goes ahead this year or not ,if not expect a lot of interest ,if it does then interest may be less ?, secondly how deeply Aus goes into recession ,I would expect many racers to be shor...

I just did another google earth look at the runway (closeup) and noticed something I missed before ,it has white crosses the entire runway length ,this means its closed to all aircraft ,they cannot use it ,we need to find out who to contact for a look to see if its usuable for our purposes ,this cou...
