There was a very useful and successful meeting of committee and officials of Speed Week tonight with an outcome that we continue to forge ahead with the organisation of the event.
The next hurdle will be the Lake Inspection on Thursday 25th February 2021. This will also probably be the day that Victoria (and hopefully South Australia) makes further announcements about border closures.
After several recent days of 40C temps, the latest report has the track in good condition, but the edge of the lake is still very wet.
We have been using geotechnical mats to try and save the surface of the salt for several years now to great effect. But we still need people to understand the slower you go over the mats the better they work.

Great news all around! Really appreciate all your hard work in pretty horrible circumstances. Let's hope the authorities have similarly good news on the 25th.
Cheers!

what was the word on the canteen?
Re: Speed Week 2021 Update
Once again our amazing caterers will be providing a range of wholesome meals and takeaway food at the lakeside canteen and popup shop in the pits. And most the prices are still the same as 2019, how good is that! Thanks to Dogga and Robyn. There will be some changes at the canteen this year due to COVID-19 rules, so we ask for your compliance with this.
Check out what's on offer this year.

Re: Speed Week 2021 Update
I'm pleased to announce that Speed Week 2021 is definitely on.
Pack your bags, hook up the trailer and hit the road!
The track itself is very good, the edge of the lake is a bit muddy as the salt has been washed away, but with the mats and people taking it easy should be okay.
Will have some photos soon.
