Dry Lakes Racers Australia

Looking for a bit of clarification on this. In the old rules, 2006, Appendix D, page 42, Trike/Cyclecars were included as motorcycle types. In the 2012 rules, these classifications appear to have been dropped.

Was this an oversight?

Is anyone else interested in these things?

Regards Adrian

Certainly am.....
Could start a build diary on one tommorow if ya like...

Ross, I saw a green cyclecar at the 2010 Lake Gairdner, dont recall who the gentleman was. Powered by a 650 Triumph engine in the rear driving a single rear wheel.

Not sure about the stability of 2 front wheel steer/single rear wheel drive versus single front wheel steer/2 rear wheel drive. Always had a fascination for the Morgan 3 wheelers.

Like what you are doing, just following quietly.

Regards Adrian

I do have a picture of that green cycle car somewhere ... mis placed for the moment
Will reopen the "fast fiberglass" diary when it comes time for the body to be built..
By the way the trike is progressing that looks to be about 3 months time...

Ross..

This one, its the only one i have, thought i had one from the front.

Dave, yes, that's the machine, not sure how he went, maybe he might see this thread and let us know.

Ross, I'm amazed at how much work you get done, you're an inspiration.

Cheers Adrian

ADRIAN : Inspiration ya recon::: Most people that wander in here have the cheek to ask me what I've done and swear that one day walk they'll walk in here and catch me working

........ somedays I wonder.........


DAVE : Thats one slick ride... but I recon this one is "slicker" and a weee bit faster



computer nerds.... HELP.... That picture I've just uploaded .. on 486 here I can only see half of it
is it because my browser is to old or are others seeing the same thing

Ross

The picture is fine. Your computer deserves to go to the museum to rest in peace like it wants to. I've got a decent machine at home that doesn't get used any more and it's only a few years old. I'll get it to you at some stage once I get the family photos off it! Whack a sticker on your bike with my name on it as a sponsor!

BTW - Love those valve covers!!!

Go to speed trials 2010 page 6 name is Terry Ings565,Triumph Trophy SG650.Looks a nice unit. Cheers F.G

Some of my pics of the trike...... I love it!

That BRG Triumph sure is nice, isn't it? The silver three wheeler is another dream machine from our friends at Blastolene, the people who built Jay Leno's giant tank-engined roadster. There is a really good article on the trike in a back issue of TRIKE magazine, a really interesting Pommy quarterly that normally has more than it's fair share of strange and badly made trikes with either V8 engines and park benches or Reliant engines and sprung solo seats and solid rear ends. That supercharged Hemi is claimed to have 1,000 bhp and gets 3 mpg. The wings on the rocker covers normally have headlights underneath and blinkers on the tips for road use. Might be fun to ride!

Cheers
Dave

The worlds only 300mph roadster forgot to have suspension Dave....

Just stirrin'

I seem to recall he retired it during the week. As it didn't have suspension, he was having some trouble with vibration and vision

indeed, and he'd already burned 160 gallons of nitro....but , ya know, it ain't built for comfort, it's built for speed.

Actually , he "re-tired" it every third run............. the close look I got at it showed the big MT's on the back were threadbare on their second run, it was running a "lazy" tune at 4400hp.
