Well I arrived home this morning to a few jobs waiting for me. I spent today doing some work and phoned some more people to let them know the news. I would never have got this far without Doc's local contacts. His mate Glen organised the meetings with the Gawler Ranges Native Title Group and without that contact we would have been up the creek without a paddle. The conditions I mentioned yesterday include some monitors at Speed Week, the others I will explain further at the drivers meeting Sunday afternoon and at the general meeting on Tuesday night. Even if you are not racing you need to attend the drivers meeting, as this information is critical to our ongoing lake use. The permit we have is temporary for this year and after Speed Week we will be working on a permanent ILUA for the years to come. There is still plenty of work to do but progress is being made. All the letters you the members sent to the Minister have helped sway Government opinion in the correct direction to no mining of Lake Gairdner. Please make it a high priority to attend the drivers meeting on Sunday Mar 8, it is important.
I will post more as I can when more info is available.

Special thanks to everyone involved in getting an excellent result. Sadly the BULLET Roadster is not yet ready for the journey however the year has not been wasted, chassis, roll cage, suspension and twin supercharged V8 are all well advanced, just the body and 9inch to go. we look forward to meeting everyone at the lake and will post some photos that may be of interest in the next few days.

Lake Inspection

Post by Rob Carroll »

I suppose everyone has been hanging out for this report. Just talked to Pete Noy at the DLRA Camp. He tells me that at their inspection of the lake today the lake is absolutely fantastic. Some, but not much, salt flicked up off the wheels and no water dripping off the car when they stopped. He also said the track area gets even better the further north they went, which is excellent for the faster cars. Some dampness at the entrance ramp, but hopefully this may dry even more in the next two weeks. So its WOT from now till March 9 to complete preparations for the meeting.
