LAKE BUCHANAN

Post by ROSS BROWN »

The latest reconisance trip to Lake Buchanan has revealed that we have another usuable venue for land speed racing in Australia..
Jon Bennett , Chris Hanlon and myself set out on a 14 hour journey of discovery on friday mourning to find the lake not completly dry , but with about another 3 weeks of drying you would find the surface to be not to disimilar to El MIRAGE.
A meeting with the land owner on Friday ,and todays meeting with the QTA (Queensland Timing Association) has set the ball in motion...

IT IS ALL A RACE AGAINST TIME.

geeze it hot here,,, were 350k east of Buchanan and on the coast which traditionaly gets a lot more rain than inland, this November/December period has been the dryest since 1986, :| , if this keeps up, or we get a dryish wet season (January/March) there will be dust on Buchanan this coming September/October, 8) , bring it on, :D ,,

think i might go for a swim up the creek near the mountains where its too cold for the Croc's, :lol: ,,

My pleas for respite from this damn heat have gone unanswered, rather, the heat has gotten worse, I guess I'll just shut up and wait.
