Agree, another thing that acounts for say a minute of the lost 4 minutes is reading out the car number and class designation before the run. If all drivers were given a card numbered 1-10 in pre-stage and the class number, driver were then given to the timer before going upto the line the starter wo...

Have had the engine running and it is LOOOOUDDDD look forward to running on the salt and breaking the peace and quite of speed week.... No worries , I'm sure we've got a quorum to set up a pit about half a mile away for you and Dave Partridge's RX7 At least the turbine is nice loud, not like a rota...

Hi David, I am the other guy that Greg Waters mentioned building a turbine streamliner, hangin out to get it finished for next year.

As we speak, Rob Carroll is drawing up a draft roster , listing every job from setup, through the week, to tear down & camp pack up. Along with a couple of other members, I will go through it & see if anything was overlooked. I am sure there will be job for everyone, even for an hour or two...

Dr Goggles....... I have to agree with you why run 2 meetings and double the work for everyone when some changes in procedures can easily double (or more) the number of cars/bikes though SAFELY and competitors can have as many runs as they want in a day.

330 runs divided by 130 competitors equals an average of 2.5 runs for the week or one run every 2 days That's a little misleading. We didn't start racing until mid/late Tuesday afternoon. That means we only raced for about 2.75 days. Furthermore there were quite a number of people - particularly bi...

I believe that conscription of “All” members for a few hours in the week is the best option to address volunteer shortage. There are about 1000 members or so and at a guess say half were at speed week (say 500) if EVERY member had to put in 2 hours over the week that is 1000 volunteer hours over the...

OK OK From a spectators point of view, more cars down the track would be great , but the spectators are sitting safely on the side lines. Unless you’re a diehard dry lake racing fan, the sport can be exciting as watching grass grow, and for most they would have had enough after a day. . http://i192...

I must say that we are maybe knocking David’s ideas based just on first impressions. Agree the thought of coming upon a spun out vehicle at 200mph + on the salt and trying to do something about it is a scary thought.....but. Our racing is really not that different to other forms of motor sport when ...
