MY BIKE
Moderator: DLRA
mate, its hard having a bike just for landspeed, getting to use once a year, maybe ,,, its also hard having a bike that serves as a dragbike during the year, then in a mad thrash, set it up for land speed, maybe ,,, the answer, have one for whatever gives ya your jollies, and have a dedicated landspeeder
First Australian to ride a motorcycle over 200mph at Bonneville,,,
i gues your right but ive done everything else except salt. how do you blokes handling the fact youve spent all that money and time to use your vehicle once a year PERHAPS. and only relying on one venue if its available. i can convert my bike to whatever i want can you convert your cars? have you built them multi purpose?

Nev, how can you have "withdrawal symptoms" if you have never raced on the salt before ? The best thing you can do is wait until next March, like everyone else, or go drag racing. Perhaps you should have researched our sport before building "MY BIKE", then you would understand how we are at the mercy of mother nature. Have patience, the salt will happen ! Pete.

Wait for the April meeting, hopefully all will be reveald then.
There is a bloody lot of work being done as we speak.
A new date means co-ordination with the Newtons, fire crews, medical crews, surveyors, insurance, DLRA officals (starters, timers, etc) DEH and Indigenous groups. Plus there is no guarantee that what ever date we pick that the lake is going to be suitable.
Keep the shiney side up........
