Dry Lakes Racers Australia

ok, i`m back, no racing for three weeks,, i needed a breather... gazza, i understand the pressure point advancing on a smooth surface (car body, streamliner), but dont you think that it would be lost in the turbulant flow caused by partial streamlining, plus the riders leathers ???. Pity you didnt g...

G`day Ben, sorry for not replying earlier. Forgot i had asked the question. I will email you about the rims....

chain ?, what chain??? I am pretty busy at the moment with dragracing on consective weekends at the regional tracks up here, also making changes to the ZX12, developing a base line . Sooo i`ll get back to the discussion as soon as time allows.

remember fella`s this is a "rule of thumb" approach. The reason behind my trying to come up with a formula was that, leading up to the 2004 event (my first as a competitor), i had pretty much all the figures on my bike, eg. horspower, wheelbias, cod, etc. the big unknown was ballast, checked all the...

I have worked on this "rule of thumb" (salt) formula with the view that it may help the "newbie racer", establish what ballast he may require. Ballast = Total required driving force at rear wheel, devided by 10, mutiplied by 4. Now i ask those of you that have had many years experience racing on "th...

The more the better, i recon. There is an airstrip up here thats rumored to be closeing down, i made a few inquiries a couple of weeks ago, however, as its going through the political stage at the moment, no one can give me a straight answer. The strip is in top condition, and at 2073 meters long pl...
