I see that he has a flat bottom to match his cars.

Rex, wherever we end up in the hereafter you and I will be arguing about ride height and flat versus round, all I'm going to say here is that the first round is yours. Don Julio and Margherita mix in a medium size cup, don't bring Tamai. |

James,
You and your new wife (or soon to be?) have a standing invitation to sit on my front porch drinking what ever you want and discussing any shaped bottom you desire. I mean that!

If in doubt, it probably IS a mistake.

Dr. Goggles, I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but I have a question for you. All of the vintage records in DLRA are in roadster,or vintage oval track. No one runs a vintage coupe there? Also, it appears that in XXO, there is no provision for an engine 325 CID-375 CID? The only description for XXO I can find simple says"Class is an XO engine, as described, with a specialty cylinder head, such as the Wayne 12 port." ...Just an American neighbour being nosy!  |

Hey, let's not get too hasty, there are still about three people in the landspeed world who haven't been involved in this escapade/debacle and I reckon there are probably a few countries left that they need to travel through before they get to my place. Apologies to Sparky, Kiwi Steve, Dan Warner, Greg Watters and the three or four other people who got dragged into it while they were still in the States....

The only description for XXO I can find simple says"Class is an XO engine, as described, with a specialty cylinder head, such as the Wayne 12 port." ...Just an American neighbour being nosy! If I answered those questions Buddy then I'd be wasting both of our time, go to dlra.org.au/forum and register there on our club site and ask the question, then at least we can still be friends(remember that Todd Rundgren song?) and you are far more likely to get correct info. As far as I know we( the DLRA) are now back to following the SCTA rule book but one year behind.... you may have been reading something that has expired..... Dr G |

Postby BOB ELLIS » Fri Mar 09, 2012 3:23 pm
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO WET CONDITIONS<THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO CANCEL THE MEET<THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY INSPECTION TODAY<
The lake currently has 8"of water standing on it,major 'pot holing 'in the surface,the road in was good but the track is a no go.

Brilliant planning by Goggles.
He knew all along that he wouldn't be missing a meet.

Dodge and double Dodge.
There is no more dedicated group of racers than our friends in Oz.
You deserve better than a coin flip's chance.
So sorry to hear this - AGAIN.

Hey Pa, don't accord me special powers..... I'm going to be really honest here . I was really happy the other day when I saw reports that it looked good. Today , on hearing the news there was a strange relief that I wouldn't miss the meet. Not glad it wasn't going ahead just relief that I wasn't missing something....but i sure do feel for everyone who's thrown their all at it in time to get there...because I've done that a few times...twice it's been cancelled as we were readying to leave.And both times we've raced we've watched the lake dry so we could race.....dammmmm you Hughey  |

Really sorry to hear this news guys. It's too bad there isn't some way to have a flexible date so the meet could be held at the first dry week. It would still be a gamble but maybe a little less so. There would also be little details that might interfere such as employment, etc. Your weather there seems to be much more variable than it is at Bonneville.

The biggest thing that interferes with that is the availability of qualified Paramedics and Fire crews G |

Hey Pa,
don't accord me special powers.....
far out...I was just going through some old posts and I found this from January I had a dream last night. I was at Lake Gairdner, what with the wedding and all I'd had to annoy a few people , one in particular,just to get there.....I was sitting in a car, there was mud everywhere and it was pissing rain, the meet was off and I couldn't get out.....
I think it's getting to meMaybe I jinxed it? |
