washing vehicles prior to entry onto salt
Posted: Fri May 18, 2012 10:51 pm
Hello everyone,
leading up to this years event, i have a few questions as a first time racer.
we have an isuzu dmax, and something that i am wondering is about the washing of the car before we drive my bike onto the salt.
some people suggest using a fire extinguisher, but to me this seems unnecessarily expensive. are there any facilities at the entry onto the salt where a pressure washer is provided? otherwise, how many litres would we need to carry to wash the car with a pressure washer.
secondly, i am guessing most of the racers stay in the racer's camp so that they do not have to travel on the 12km dirt track and therefore dont have to wash their vehicles each time they enter the salt.
lastly, there is extreme emphasis on the camping information page of living at the camp autonomously and collecting all your rubbish and such. we have done alot of camping in national parks to know how to do this, but i was wondering if there is anything out of the ordinary we would need to know for preparation.
thanks in advance
