Does any one else want a rule book. I have run out due to the high demand but I can send you a photocopied version. We weren't sure how much interest this sport would generate down here but over the last week or so we are on track to have at least 75-100 cars racing by 2010.

Hello Guys,

The rule books have arrived I will contact everyone who is interested in building a car next week. The track is progressing and we will have some serious testing of the track layout happening in the next few months. We expect top speeds of 140 + kph with the extension of the main straight. Its not overly quick compared with some other tracks but will be one of the most challenging with a mix of positive and negative camber corners on an undulating course.

Here's a few pictures of a teams event in Whyalla. The advantage of racing dirt circuit is the racing format can be constantly changed. Standard style races, Handicap racing

(reverse grid) or in the case of teams racing you have to work together to get your all team across the line in front of other teams. As you can imagine it offers spectators and drivers something completely different than your run of the mill motor sport.

cheers,

Spectators don't wear too much dirt . Drivers on the other hand don't see too much and on really wet days you spend most of the time being a passenger. I usually go Thru 10 tear offs on my visor,and tear off on my goggles by the second lap in conditions in the pictures below, the last resort is closing your eyes or covering your face with a rag and occasionally peering out the side to make sure you are still on the track.

Can't believe the old bugger is still alive....he had 9 lives on the track, lol!!

Good on ya for getting back into it Deano....will definitely try to come out when you run her so make sure you give us a hoy........like old times aye!!

PS: The truck can pull just about anything....it's not a speedway push car (like the Adelaide Engine Ute) but if I don't have much on at the time, I'm happy to help out with any towing that you may need to get there.

Hey Matt,

I actually met you at a Charity Cruise starting at Ingle Farm last year - you brought your legnum to the start but parked it over near the shops and I introduced myself

Street stock sounds like a lot of fun, and I'm thinking a cheap/banged up EB/ED Falcon 5sp would be a whole lota fun for very minimal outlay.

Is injection allowed in street stock? - It mentions 350cfm carbs, and I was thinking a mild 250 Cortina would be a hoot for about $2-3k total build.

If injection was allowed then yeah a stripped EB/ED would be on the money I'd reckon. Open exhaust, HD clutch and race!

[mid life crisis]

page 10 section 3 rule 8 says no fuel enjection allowed in the street stock class if im reading it right

At the moment fuel injected cars run in modified saloons but there will be a new standard class next year that includes vn - vt commodores and the equivalent falcons. There has been a fair bit of interest in this new class and we will be definitely running this category at the new track. If you are keen to build a car we can currently supply the steel for the roll cage for approx $170.

Cheers Matt

Hey Dean I thought I would post some info on a new car. away from the DC site (it's been kept quite for the moment).

The light weight open wheeler chassis we had for sale should be racing at the Black Rock State titles. It will hopefully weigh about 500kg and make 350 hp + using two engines. Or an approximate power to weight of having 1000 hp in a steel body commodore. Sounds insane. Our semi finished 900 kg - 400hp open wheeler looks fairly tame now.
