Long overdue, mates - make the best of it.  I know there's been some dismay in the club due to the environmental, legal and meteorological obstacles you've had to overcome.  It's my hope that this meet helps the DLRA shake loose some of the misfortune they've encountered.

Go Race! :cheers:

Unh, Australian folks -- uhm, is this true scoop?  If so -- you guys must be a bit more hale and hearty than I had realized.

Whatever the truth -- best wishes for your meet.  I hope all goes well, that everyone comes back no worse for wear than a few red spots where you've had to slap a fly, and with records in hand.

Stay'te

I am sorry you are not going to make it, as the person that beat all other open bikes in 05 with your ZX-12 I was hoping you would get that extra .004 mph this year..or was it .0004?  :cheers:

Ga`day John,, was .004mph :evil:,,, was planing to use Gairdner as a test and tune this year, as i was planing on bringing the ZX12 to BUB`s 8-), however it dropped a valve while tuning on the dyno,,, ya know that little exhaust valve muster been real upset, `cause it almost took all off the motor out with it :roll:,, the result is no bike to BUB`s this year, however i will be coming over again on my annual pilgrimage :-)
