very windy on the monday,   many waited  for that to change ,  i went to the site Wednesday
midday, steady to heavy rain ,   i left the site mid afternoon the lake was well covered with water , trip out was very wet and traction difficult (. for those that don?t know the site , it?s by any standard a rough dirt / corrugated / bull dust road ( means fine powdery surface )  for about  120 kms ( 70 miles ) and after rain it becomes  VERY tricky driving conditions
old mechanic
getting slower , but still interested in anything that goes FAST

I certainly got wet... we stayed till Saturday to miss the rain but it started to rain as we left on our trip out...
We got some good reflective shots once the wind stopped...
Longshot had a very productive event in resetting the C/GCC to 210ish mph and received the best appearing team..

Copied from the DLRA facebook page


Dry Lakes Racers Australia
 
After an inspection of the lake last Sunday (11th February) the salt at the ramp was very thin, the start line was still very soft and track 2 unusable. It was estimated by those at the inspection that it is unlikely that the lake will dry out enough in the next few weeks for an event. However, there will still be a final inspection on the 29th of February.
My advice is don't stop doing what you planned to do just yet, but at least you now know what we are up against.
Pre-Entries cut-off will be extended until 1st of March.
Any entries received after the 12th of February will not be processed until after the outcome of the inspection is known.
Look for more information at that time.

From the DLRA, It's a go, course 1 has 8 miles of good salt and course 2 is pending.   :cheers:
