Yep we are done . A lake inspection today friday 9th of march saw the event officially cancelled . Our notoriously smooth salt has lots of potholes making it impossible to mark out a course .

Argh, sorry folks.
Are there any asphalt events in Australia?

SSS,
Does it really cost a lot to add a section for the down-under guys? Since this "might be" the go-to forum for Land Speed Racing, it seems appropriate, eh?
Besides, we might se more pictures and get more news . . . maybe?
thanks!

It doesn't cost any $$ to set up a topic. I asked on the forum because I've received some hasslin' (gentle style, mostly) for setting up too many individual topics. I asked the Aus. folks specifically since they're the ones that should have the say - if they wanted a place to put their news. I still am in favor of it, and now that we've got the Lake G. event cancelled again and two or three different threads going on the Forum - and we could have just the one if it were on the Australian topic -- maybe this will be enough to convince others that it's worth the hassle of having to sort through the bunch there are.
Comments?

In todays DLRA news We had a committee meeting tonight and the following items were decided:
• We intend to have another attempt at holding Speedweek 2012 on the week of 28th of May through to 1st of June at Lake Gairdner, this of course depends on the condition of the lake and permission from DEH to do this, we intend to have regular lake inspections carried out weekly in the weeks leading up the scheduled event. David Pluckham has undertaken to co-ordinate a roster of South Australian members to provide weekly updates, these findings are to be dated and posted on the DLRA home page.
• The AGM is to be held at Lake Gairdner during that week.
• We will still have a general meeting at Tailem Bend on the 5th of May commencing at 7pm, the Test and Tune strip will be available during the day from 9am through to 5pm.
• We intend to change the dates for our Annual Speedweek to late January/early February, the actual dates will depend on the moon cycle and we will have a rainout date for late May/early June each year starting in 2013.
• We will get a newsletter out as soon as possible and have asked Greg Wapling to put this on the home page of the website along with the forum. So some good news at last G |

20th may 2012 I have just had a phone call from Peter Noy and it is official that we have had to call off our Lake Gairdner event proposed for the 28th May - 1st June, the guys inspecting the lake have found too many inconsistencies in the lakes surface and are unable to get enough good salt to run an event.
So, another year with no Speedweek in Australia. Which means we have loads of T-shirts spare G |

Since I'm lazy would you post the info needed for us Yanks to help reduce the shirt pile?

How old would you be now if you didn't know how old you are?
If you can't race it or take it to bed - it ain't worth having.

although it's probably easier to contact Carol Hadfield thru the contacts page http://www.dlra.org.au/detail.htm and click on Rod's link And I will be at Speedweek in August and will bring a bunch of T shirts over with me G |
