DLRA General Meeting

on 02/07/2000 at Rod Hadfields

The mid year meeting of the DLRA was held at Rod Hadfields property. There were a very pleasing number of members from South Australia, New South Wales and of course quite a few from Victoria. We were very lucky to have Roscoe McGlashan attend the meeting and give a very entertaining talk recalling his early days experimenting with rockets, the jets and his World Land Speed Record attempts at Lake Gairdner. On behalf of all who were there, thanks Roscoe. And special thanks to Rod for making us all welcome and the wives and girlfriends who helped with lunch.

Minutes will follow in the next DLRA newsletter.

Leigh Fielder - getting in the bloody road again. That's Rod's '55 Chev Sport Coupe behind, with V12 Rolls Royce Merlin power.	Driver sits ontop of battery. Car is exceptionally well built.	Custom made fully independent front end.
The more you look the more you see.	Body comes off for easy maintenance. Note the cut away under the doors for the six pipes a side.	2 radiators up front and another 2 at the back, vent built into body in front of still operational boot lid.
Huge Hallibrands out back.	The sketches that started it all. Note the side mounted tommy guns!	Very clean '55 Sport Coupe.
Word is that there will be a special ute class next year.	Guest Speaker Roscoe McGlashan	That's Mike Davidsons hot new "flat head" injection setup that Roscoes trying to con Mike out of. I just can't figure how he's gona fit it to Aussie Invader to give that extra 2000lbs of boost.
