lol everyone had their hopes up for AIR to open again

AIR is so McPhucked that its not funny...but apparently there has been some work being done at AIR tracks

maybe they havent timed the project properly and need more time

ummm 8+ years without competition drags and 5+ years without street drags is more than just time management issues ;)

I'd hate to say it, but AIR would be worth more to the owner to be sold off as subdivided for residential growth. It would need to be rezoned first, of course. :domokun:

cant see that happerning as long as speedway city is still there been built is the very reason the racing drivers assocition brought the land at virgina in the first place . because rowly park at bromtom had noise issuies with residents . i know i was on the committee of the rda at the time .

Reconstruction and upgrading works are in progress and are expected to continue thru to mid to late March.

We are anticipating a return to both legal off street drag racing as well as open bracket racing.

As we get closer all event information will be on the Adelaide International Raceway website.

I sent an email to Bryan the other day asking whats the hold up...I havent got a reply as yet but will bug him again at the end of the week

Wonder if its money issues with paying teh construction mob why its taking so long..or if it's even an off side job for them so not there 5 days a week...

I just really hope its this year that AIR is back up and running! :blink:

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
