Amazing that in spite of the dangerous conditions some records were reset.

Norm Although i am in favor of the Australian standards for the bikes, i do think the Snell is better for the car drivers. Snell has stringent requirements for coping with 2 big hits in the same place, something extremely unlikley on a bike but nearly certain in a car. If a car were rolled multiple ...

Garry's results are a reflection of the time and effort he puts in to "do it right ", getting the right information and using it to best effect.

Though i wouldn't mind going over for a ride, i think the budget would be lucky to even get me there for a look
Check this out Ben and try to imagine what the lane change at this speed would feel like in the dirt

50/50 should be great , i just ran out of time and put the weight where it could potentially do the most good and attach easily,
I was also a bit cautious after Hawkwind had described his drunken pig to me.

I think the distribution is very important, most of my weight was to the rear this year , pic here shows some of the weight http://photobucket.com/albums/y108/dlra ... 05-053.jpg

I'm sure i was getting a fair bit of front end lift as i had to keep lowering the front for stability,next year the weight will be a little more towards the front.

Sounds great,
Evelyne suggested similar to me yesterday , but Temora it looked fairly long on the world records show this week when a couple of stunt guys were trying for hi speed wheelie records (150mph on the back wheel would need a bit of distance)

Funny thing is i was talking to a guy at Wilby in May about his turbo 245 centura and the turbo commodore he also had.... 4 speed is direct drive so there is less drivetrain loss than a 5 speed driving thru another set of gears , may not make enough difference to matter . There are programmes to wor...

No worries Greg, you must know Dan Macdonald then if you're in that area. I think it will be good to get some Mopar Action happening out on the salt. I figure the slant (relatively cheap and I've already got the engine) will be a good starting point and I can fit any engine in there up to and inclu...

Your ute brings back a few memorys
I used to have a fair bit to do with hotting up old Vals, and can probably source a few odds and ends if you need .
I'm probably not that far from you as i'm north of Shepparton, if i can be of any help my # 0428 655 445.

I ran a mixture of VP fuels c14 and Bp racing 100 for moderate boost levels and intended to use straight c14 for hi boost but ran out of week. "C14 Leaded Recommended for naturally aspirated engines operating at over 8000 RPMs with CRs of 14:1 and over in drag race cars, 4-stroke drag race motorcycl...

While a specific cut off for fuel/gas may work for some forms of limited racing, i don't think it would suit many of our vehicles. The correct fuel is as much an intergral part of an engines build as the right pistons or the correct bearing clearance . In particular i would find 98 octane severly li...

Is there anyone else who like me didn't bring a camera to speedweek expecting to buy a top quality Stripy dog cd , only to find out there not available this year because the footage belongs to 60min's Got me thinking that vids taken by members and familys could be used as the basis of a professional...

Wish i had visited there but i only borrowed the pic from Suzukihayabusa.org
I use photobucket.com as my host, probably can change the pic size but these show good detail and still fit my screen so i have never tried resizing.

As long as the lake looks better than this

I'll be happy
