blow-by-blow action from Bonnevile for a private event running this week... (in between the action there's hundreds of the usual smart-arse comments and arguements) Vehicles running: Smowmobile with a tricked up Yam R1 donk, from Canada. A Jet powered bike doing first time test runs. Buckeye Bullet ...

Go Hawk.
Is it to early to hear ideas about frame and body... since I know you've probably got some wild stuff swirling around in your head.

When in Port Augusta stocking up supplies call in to the WESTERN Hotel and Foodland Supermarket both on the westside tell em DOC Murdock sent you, Happy to oblige, can we pre-order half a pallet of Australia's finest... Carlton Draught Where's the pub located in relation to the main town centre? if...

Most important -ALL Vehicles to be parked on ground sheets/Tarps!!. ...something to secure tarps to the salt. Self tap coach screws with a coarse thread and we make piles of 5cm plywood washers.

I've come to understand what spiritual pilgrimage is all about. Talk about romancing the Salt, check out the Glen...

Bit like admiring the communication and PR skills of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. Ya gotta draw a solid line somewh...

re: Thrust Power class. David, Please don't think I'm trying to compare your thrust power questioning with one Franklin Ratliff. In no way do I intend to link you with his "cause" or associate you with the ole Rat. The Landracing thread linked below goes on-and-on-and-on about SCTA rules a...

As far as rules go, and where Jet power fits in... Turn to the Frogs (not the Queenslander's green coloured squatter variety). The FiA make the rules, govern the sport, and set out a "code" for vehicles. An introduction to FiA rules for LSR m Here's the full "Sporting Code" for a...

Damn, was looking forward to seeing what ya cooked up. Good luck with re-build, and keep us posted.

Iron Knob truck stop closed a few years ago after Laslo sold it to some hopefuls, and they quickly went bust. Wasn't open in March 08. Port A is last stop for fuel (coming from Adelaide side). Mt Ive have a bowser but expect higher than usual price/lt.

Apparently it's note is finely "tuned" for this year, whatever that means (I'm bringing workshop ear protection). The megaphone is still there, no snow shovel out the front, and Dave's refined his driving skills working on the public Busses this year.

Don't think Bourke area drains to Lake Gairdner.
Here's some info on drainage on the main web site...
