The next Tailem Bend Test & Tune weekend is confirmed as August 13th & 14th. Same rules as last time, only vehicles constructed to DLRA rule book to compete, full driving/riding suits to be worn. Free overnight camping is allowed on site if you wish, or book accommodation in the town. For more info, call me on 0427 777 661 or Michael Brixton 0418 806 650. Looking forward to doing it all again ! Pete. DLRA #6.

Spoke to management today, everything is the same as last time, shower & toilet , BBQ, kitchen, workshop & camping on site. Unfortunately, due to excessive speeding on the simulator, a speed limiter has been installed. Someone will be there at 8.30 Sat. morning to open the gate, See you then, Pete DLRA #6.

One thing we won't have is Smurf's super dooper heating device, so if someone has a heater for the workshop, please bring it along. Pete DLRA #6.
