Is the DLRA officially ok to race in March 2009
I remember sometime ago the DLRA was still in negotiations with a few government bodies incl the local aborigines and the local owners of the property ... they had to get all the boxes ticked off.
Can someone update us on this subject as to what has been going on and at this point in time can we start organising for the trip across in March???
ie is the race on for certain or NOT at this point in time.
thx

Gaz, that's the whole idea of sending the letters. we are very much wanting to meet with these people and DEH are facilitating this for us, but the indigenous representatives keep canceling or postponing the meeting.
As explained in the newsletter, we have had a solid working relationship with DEH since 1990, but the situation has now changed and as I understand it we need a signed ILUA before we can race.
The longer it is drawn out the less time the DLRA and competitors have to organise themselves for an event. Having said that the DLRA have everything else in place at the moment.
no meeting = no agreement
no agreement = no race

I've sent the letter off, maybe it will help a little.
I also got in touch with an old high school friend of mine from when I lived in Kalgoorlie. He's a successful aboriginal businessman these days and I think he's been involved with indigenous land use/rights in the past.
Not sure if he can help at all, but it's worth a try. You never know, he might know someone who knows someone...

When I grow up I want to be a Land Speed Racer!

There seems to be a few who might know what's happening BUT 99% of all members know SFA what's happening...wrt to getting a closure on this matter.
Some communication outlining where the club is up to and what further steps need to be taken would be much appreciated, but so far it hasn't been forthcoming.

Time for an update. I understand the membership feels left in the dark about what is happening with the permit to use the lake. I have tried to keep everyone updated as best I can through the forum (on the offline area).You must understand that these negotiations involve much more that just DLRA using Lake Gairdner. They are more about keeping the lake in pristine condition forever, so we and others can enjoy the lake not only for Land Speed Racing but also for the awesome natural beauty there. This lake and surrounding area holds a huge amount of significance to the local indigenous people and they are adamant it will not be destroyed.
My report on the meeting we went to on jan 15 in the Gawler Ranges can be read on the offline area. Today, Feb 2, I received a phone call from the Native Title Claimants Solicitor advising me of a meeting in Port Augusta on Feb 13, which I am invited to. He said attitudes are changing positively, (for us and his clients), so I am hoping for a good outcome. Be aware that we still cannot have Speed Week until we obtain the permit. The committee is continuing preparations for speed week and I suggest anyone wanting to attend Speed Week exercise some patience while we try to sort out the permit. I will post more information as it becomes available and more discussion will undoubtedly take place at the meeting next Sunday in Melbourne, so those members that can attend, I will see you there.
