Hey Stu how about marking or labeling the bikes after each run, Say each bike has an allocation of 4 runs for the AM after each run where the time is recorded there bike gets tagged with one of those hosptial wrist bands around the middle of the handlebars or somewhere. Red bands are for the 4 x AM 1/4 mile runs and say blue bands are for the 2x top speed runs or something like that.

Also maybe Allocate 1/4 Pairs due to Engine size/mods keep it interesting and a few of the slower contenders interested and Up hearted.

hey is anyone bringing a laptop to record times and do print outs? could be fun

Ive got about 16Gig worth of free Memory Cards for the cameras ready to all be used for this. Also pulled out the old 35mm Nikon found some black and white, if the light is good enough I'll get some cool Black and white piccis.

G'day blokes , very interesting and great to see you got this up and running ,with a bit of work you could turn this into an Aussie 'MAXTON' ,Im the motorcycle organiser /chief motorcycle steward for the DLRA dry lakes racers Australia , we run speed week at lake Gairdner (big salt lake ) each march , if you need any assistance or advice get in touch lsr350@hotmail.com
Is this event open to dedicated purpose built top speed bikes ?

;) Actually Large i think he would beat Burts record and stop within the 3kms, the Record is 180something , there's a good chance several guys would beat it, Burts was NA , many turbo bikes could be looking closer to 200mph.
BTW is there anything after the 3kms concrete wall? or swamp?

I hope im not to late to enter..... but please, please let me come... Ive busy for a month or so..... see ya there.... please send me confirmation of my entry..

cheers

Pete

Im gearing for 210mph naked, any one keen for side bet in naked class, fairings are for the salt and coffee shop cake eaters

pete

201.blah miles per actually, and you'll need to start..get up to speed and stop before the beach.

Maybe I should invest in a vid cam...

I got a cam if u want to be in charge of it Large. I'll need to get a few more tapes though. We could make a straighliners DVD

strip runs south to north so0 lean right if ya wanna hit the beach.i think the Aussie record is about 355KLM/H down the 1/4 so bring it on pete

http://www.scta-bni.org/Bonneville/r...recs_bikes.htm 1000cc near the bottom ;) but he was reported to have exceeded 200 ,records are set as 2 way averages.

NTB gear for 230 to allow for wheelslip.

Fair enough.

I still reckon it's going to be hard to get up to speed...hold it for a mile (or kilometer) and stop in the available space but;)

Sounds like a challenge!

I think it will be a case of go as hard as you can till point x , more like a long drag race. Just need to figure out where the safe point x needs to be.a lot of the US stuff is over a mile or 1 is 9/10mile if we can get 1.6kms and safely slow in the next 1.4 then the speeds will be comparable with other sites.
The main thing will be to get together, do something a bit different and have fun.:D
Radar may not work well , i have a garmin etrex that registers top speed , if others have one or similar they could be used to register speeds if the radar is inconsistant. i have had readings from my jacket pocket at Winton trackdays.

If you do it that way you wont be breaking Burt's (or anyone elses) record.

I may not know Burt's record speed...but I'm pretty sure the record can only be set by being timed over a measured distance...most likely a mile....Which brings me back to original point;

I agree with all your points mate..... having all our knowledge there will be a god send... we will all give our best... cant wait!!! being a paratrooper for 12 years gives me some ideas for use of pilot chutes hooked to rear swing arms... rated at 150knot opening with a human safe error of 4 to 1 equals about 400km/h breaking strain..... hahahaha..... i have a few in my war trunks...
