The road from Iron Knob was good, just a lot of dust because of the dry weather and no rain for 2 months. Getting on to the Lake would turn out to be one of the biggest problems all week as it was like being at the beach with the tide coming in overnight, so we had to shift mats throughout the week and transport people back and forth from the edge of the Lake. It was hard work for everybody and sometimes frustrating. We had one of our trucks stuck at the edge of the Lake on Saturday and worked all day removing it from the bog was hard work and a day lost. The Lake surface was the best I have seen in my fifteen years. Both tracks were perfect for racing. Our #1 tractor driver Andrew Madin had to spend minimal time preparing the track compared to other years and a great job done again on the return roads, pit area, with low temperatures all week, everything looked great. After we set up Team Taxi Pit area on the Sunday, went through Scrutineering and all ready for Monday. People were still working on the timing and the track equipment. Our first three members # 1 Mike Davison, # 2 Rod Hadfield and # 3 Andy Jenkins , were present and had two of the best turned out cars as well, Andy would have made it but for his engine problems a week or so earlier. We held our AGM and General meeting on Sunday evening, with the main committee members choosing to stay for another year, State Members staying on and only one or two new roles so not too many changes. It actually made for an early night for a change. Thanks to all those old Committee Members who are staying on and for their support to me and the Club. Welcome to the new Committee Members. We look forward to working together into the next year. Monday was off to a late start and slow to get organized with the high winds so no records would be recorded for that day although the Committee has voted to present people with an over 200 mph Pass and Achievers hat for that Monday. Tuesday meant that the wind was still around but not as strong, but coming and going, plenty of passes still going on, then an accident involving Trent Clare and the Clare family streamliner in the late afternoon. I would like to thank everyone for doing their best and Trent is still in the hearts and minds of the Club Members and friends. Wednesday started late with the meeting at the Canteen just to talk over some things concerning the accident and to bring to people’s attention that racing at high speeds and chasing records will always have an element of danger involved. Everyone needs to make sure their equipment is up to the standards required. Because of the late start, the wind had dropped off so people stayed later to get extra runs in. Thursday was a long day of racing and new records set. Friday saw the track perfect as usual and almost no wind, with people still looking for records just like me. My first run for the week turned out to be only half a run. But, I still achieved 233mph before the 3 mile. Then the big pack up with most people gone again! A big Thanks to all our sponsors, new and old and hope to have you on board next year and I would like to encourage our Club Members to support these businesses because of the ongoing support they give the Club. A very special Thank You goes out to Dion, his family and his crew from Mildura for taking on the Canteen. A true professional effort was put in with the meals and with the ice supply. This is a major effort with combining refrigerator transport, people, accommodation, and working long hours with no monetary reward. Hopefully we will see you next year and we will have a changed result. Club Members need to support more next year. Another club member that needs an extra special thank you is Brook Denning, he was at the lakes edge each day blowing the dust off the vehicles and spent most of the rest of each day emptying and cleaning the toilets, he is a tireless worker for the club. For the first time Doris his wife along with their two daughters Maddie and Ella came to Speedweek with him and the three of them worked tirelessly in the Merchandise tent as well. We thank the whole family for their efforts!! Some of the things we need to improve on next year are: • Starting on time on the Monday. • People have already started on things like timing equipment, radios and headsets. • Our FM station. • New pump tank for the toilets. • New timing van and trailer for the mats. • We are looking at a new programme to buy mats. • Changes to help with our Volunteers after Tech Inspection, picking up paperwork and everyone will have to nominate a time for their volunteer duty. • Volunteers setting up before everyone arrives. Thanks to our Starters, Timers, Scrutineers, SES, Track Officials, Doctors and all the people that help in so many ways. We are still having problems with people not reading the Rule Book. So maybe next year six or seven random questions from the Rule Book before paperwork is picked up might be an idea to get everyone on board, as rules are incredibly important. While I was driving around during the week I found myself talking with lots of different people and checking things at the start line. I found that a lot of people love to complain about the queue jumpers, yet no one volunteers to monitor the situation. I checked with Greg Wapling and found that a lot of teams did not supply any volunteers at all. Maybe we should have a shame file or a user pay set up. For those who did volunteer a big thanks for helping make our 25th Speedweek a great event. See you at our next general meeting in Melbourne on the 24th May 2015, Norm Bradshaw. ============================================================================================================= NEW 200MPH Club Members ============================================================================================================= ============================================================================================================= For Sale ============================================================================================================= VL Commodore V8 DLRA car with log book.

Mark has formed a relationship with Bob Krogdahl, who as you may know builds his own unique engines based on inline six cylinder Holden & Ford engines, twin cam with funky firing orders. Mark has suggested that Bob would like to get involved with someone to run one of his engines on the salt. As my health is slowly returning & with many unfinished projects in my shed this is something that needs to be passed on. Should you or any DLRA member be interested please feel free to contact me or Mark for details & contact points Cheers. Chris Kaye” “Hi Norm, I’ve been a member of the DLRA for a couple of years now, having competed in Speedweek 2014 with a couple of bikes. I’m getting in contact as my business has recently opened a shop in Smith Street, Collingwood, Victoria, and attached to the shop we have a nice open exhibition space. I think Speed Week is an amazing experience and would love to be able to host an exhibition of some of the competing motorcycles from this year’s event as well as previous ones. If you believe that club members would be willing to put their pride and joy on display for a week or so, and perhaps be involved in an evening where they can chat to people interested in the event and the sport I would be very interested in attempting to organise something, perhaps for June. I thought I’d contact the club first, I am happy to organise the display with the club or with individual bike owners, whichever works out to be the best option. Regards, Ryan Mischkulnig” ============================================================================================================= 2015 Speed Week Results ============================================================================================================= This year there was 22 new car records and 56 new motorcycle records.

Change of Venue – The AGM was moved to the canteen at late notice. This was due to the poor condition of the salt at the lake edge and wanting to get as many vehicles off the salt before the water table rose making it even worse. 2. Access to Lake – The lake access is closed tonight, there will be a team working tonight shifting mats and repairing small areas of the salt surface, no heavy vehicles are allowed on or off until further notice. Also when vehicles do get onto the salt again they are to make sure that they have dusted off properly. 3. Friday Packup – We need as many people as possible to help pack up on Friday. 4. Traffic Speed – There have been several vehicles observed travelling at high speed on the access road to the lake. All drivers are asked to slow down and drive to the conditions. 5. #1 Member to make first run on the Monday – The committee felt that this was appropriate considering that Mike had his streamliner here and it was the 25th anniversary. Unanimous agreement from those present. 6. Life Memberships – Mark Dunn proposed that we introduce life memberships. There was unanimous agreement for this and the committee will look at implementing a selection panel with a view to inducting its first life member next year. 7. How’s Cled? – Norm had seen him recently, he was constantly short of breath, but doing ok, had recently been to the States and had been given a Dodge to drive around in while over there. 8. Blowers – In the future we will be encouraging people to bring their own blowers to speed up the lake access queue. 9. Thanks to the Clare’s for the fantastic work they have done with the shelters 10. Loan Payback - This will happen in the near future, a letter will be sent out asking for how each individual wants the money paid back and include details on how they can convert to a donation to the club if they so wish. 11. As part of it Waste Water program the club will need to purchase a truck mounted Vacuum Pump. We have a unit on hire this year to assess its suitability. 12. Forecasting expenditure – An attempt will be made to determine what new and replacement equipment will need to be arranged for the year along with what other costs to run the event. 13. New section of the forum for items wanted for club to be coordinated by Gary Satara. Seen as a good way of members being involved in the requirements of the club. 14. Gemma Dunn has volunteered to help prepare the 4 DLRA newsletters that we produce each year. Round of applause for Gemma. ============================================================================================================= Minutes of Committee Meeting ============================================================================================================= Meeting opened 6.00pm Apologies: Russell Branson, Graeme Ward, Andrew Mustard, Daryl Barkla, Simon Muntz, Ray Charlton, Deb Dawson, Paul Lynch, Rob Cranfield, Wayne Pickles, Matt Saunders, Denis Campbell, Trevor Beck Minutes from previous meeting were read out at the meeting and found to be true and correct. Moved: Seconded: Business Arising from previous minutes:  Canteen, Dion Higgins along with family and friends have taken on the canteen for this year, this is a huge task they have taken on and must be commended for doing this, we ask everyone to support them. Correspondence In:  None Correspondence Out:  None Financial Report: • General Account $44,320.18 • Loans & Donations Account $20,161.91 • Petty Cash $ 419.55 Moved that the report be accepted by Carol Hadfield, Seconded by: Gary Satara Reports:  Committee Meeting Minutes from 9th March 2015. These were read out at the meeting. General Business:  The club has purchased a site office/caravan for $2,900 to be equipped as a timing van, to be ready for the 2016 event.  The club has purchased an Air Bag jack to extract bogged vehicles on the salt.  Keep speeds down on access roads and if you see the big tyres at the camp hook them up and drag the road, this will definitely reduce the corrugations on the road Meeting closed 6.40pm ============================================================================================================= Minutes of Committee Meeting 20th April 2015 ============================================================================================================= Attendance: Norm Bradshaw, Greg Wapling, Rob Carroll, Greg Telford, Steve Charlton, Carol & Rod Hadfield, Graham Hadley, Lionel West, Garry Brennan, Dean Adamson Conference Phone: Bob Ellis, Paul Lynch, Stephen Bridge, Gary Satara, Michael Brixton Apologies: Jeff Lemon (WA State rep.) Minutes from Previous Committee Meeting: Moved: Greg Telford Seconded: Chris Hanlon Action Items from last Committee Meeting: 1. Kim Krebs has offered help with negotiations with Gawler Ranges Co-Management board and DEW. If Kim was comfortable with it, the committee felt that she would be ideally placed to become involved with DEW liaison and Co-Management Board and GRAC liaison. Kim works for DEW in the Lofty Ranges. Norm and Carol have both spoken with Kim regarding this, she now has names and information to start inroads within the departments and will keep us informed of her progress. Correspondence In: 1. Final signed Hire Agreement from Lake Gairdner Co-Management Board dated 1th March 2015 which arrived in the mail when we returned home on the 30th March. 2. Tax Invoice from GRAC for $10,835.00 Being for: 3 Monitors in 2014 $5,100.00 plus GST 2 Monitors in 2015 $4,500.00 plus GST Travel Allowance $ 250.00 plus GST This invoice is dated 20th March and terms were to be paid 7 days from invoice, it was amongst my mail when I returned home on the 30th of March. It hasn’t been paid as yet as there are discrepancies in it. For 2014 there was only one monitor present and we were subsequently told that we would not be asked to pay for monitors for 2014. This year Greg had several conversations with Michael Ellul from Native Title Services South Australia and it was agreed that we would be paying for 2 observers for 5 days (Thursday to Monday). Then on the last day before heading off to the lake Greg received an email from Michael on behalf of Andrew Beckworth quoting the Hire Agreement Schedule, Item 12, Section C, part one (i) The Board and the Hirer acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of assisting the parties to comply with their respective obligations set out in this Agreement they and Traditional owner monitors shall jointly inspect the Hired Areas both immediately prior to the commencement of the Hire Term and immediately at the expiration (or earlier termination) of the Hire Term to ascertain and examine the state and condition of the Hired Areas at the commencement and expiration (or earlier termination) of the Hire Term. So as it turns out Michael was never in a position to negotiate on the contract and for all future hire of the lake we need to ensure that the exact daily rate and number of days are detailed in the contract. Action: Greg to contact GRAC about invoice for 2014. 3. Tax Invoices from Mt. Ive Station being: 34 hours tractor hire @ $45.00 per hour $1530.00 80 litres Diesel $ $1.85 per litre for tractor $ 148.00 (there was a note on the invoice re fuel) Fuel for Ken Smith (approved by Norm) $ 135.70 Fuel for Brandon McNamara (approved by Norm) $ 261.50 Fuel for Ambulance $ 130.00 Fuel for CFS vehicle $ 175.76 Total $ 2,380.96 Action: Carol to make payment 4. Tax Invoice from Lester Franks Surveyors for $ 4285.60 (Last years invoice $ 3102.00) Rob the surveyor turned up a day early, both Norm and Greg confirmed with the company the day and time in the weeks leading up to the event. We are now being asked to pay an extra day. Action: Carol to enquire as to why we are paying for their stuff up 5. Invoices from Chem Loo for toilet parts. $1078.17 Action: Carol to make payment 6. Invoice from Castlemaine Copy Centre - Door magnets & photocopying $ 410.85 Action: Carol to make payment 7. Email from Gary Satara after his discussion with Stephen Bridge re registering a company name. Gary and Stephen gave further detail about the limitation of this proposal to just securing the name at this stage as a shelf company. Coast associated with this would be $787 to register the name and $250 to prepare and lodge an annual return. Their reasoning for wanting to do this is based on possible legal requirements in future years, for example if Mt. Ive ever came up for sale and the DLRA wanted to make a bid for it. Action: Gary and Stephen to put a costed proposal together indicating the limitations and legal ramifications of undertaking this activity 8. Tax Invoice from Lewis Medical Services for $4180.00. This has been $3300.00 in previous years but understandably an increase this year due to the second doctor in attendance. Action: Carol to make payment 9. Email from David Grosse – DEW requesting an incident report on accident Action: Greg W to prepare a report and get it checked by Dennis Carroll before forwarding on the David Grosse Correspondence Out: 1. Payments made as per attached report. 2. After a suggestion by Bob Ellis, flowers were sent by Carol on behalf of DLRA to Medical staff at ICU Royal Adelaide Hospital who are looking after Trent Clare. Message read “ Thank you for your dedication and care of Trent Clare, one of our DLRA family” Reports Received: 1. Report from Graham Hadley re Motorcycle Streamliner #105 2. Report from Dr. Scott Lewis (marked confidential and not to be released without subpoena) 3. Report from Russell Branson (marked confidential) 4. Report from Bob Ellis (marked confidential) 5. 2nd report from Graham Hadley with needs to be addressed 6. Report from Chris Hanlon 7. Report from Dion Higgins – Mildura Ice 8. Timers Report from Paul Lynch 9. Report from Micheal Brixton 10. Email from Jeff Lemon – Regards the entry to the lake, WA are suggesting we approach the Army. Bob informed the committee that formal and informal discussions have already taken place with several high ranking officials within the ARMY by 3 separate DLRA members. The problem is that all the engineering teams are based in Brisbane, but discussions continue. Bob also wanted to make the club aware that after discussions with the observers during Speed Week and after the issues with the return road on track 2 on the Tuesday that he was preparing a proposal for a constructed ramp on to the lake. 11. Points from Russell Branson Financial Report: as at 6th March 2015 • General Account: $ 88,428.97 • Loans & Donations Account: $ 20,160.91 • Petty Cash $ 130.55 Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss & Payments reports attached. Report on Banking from event attached as well. Carol would like to have $500.00 in petty cash. Moved: Carol Hadfield Seconded: Rob Carroll General Business: 1. Recommendations from the Doctors report to be acted on: a) Two doctors in future years Moved by Carol, Unanimously approved by Committee b) Donation to Wudinna Hospital Moved by Carol to send $500, Unanimously approved by Committee c) Crowd Control The directives are in our documentation now, we just need to ensure it is strictly enforced in the future. d) Media Control Action: Greg to include more specific directives in regard of Media in our documentation. Denis Carroll to investigate the legal rights and privileges of the media in circumstances like this. e) Emergency plans to DEW (involve Doctor in development of these) Action: Greg to contact Dr. Scott Lewis to update our documentation 2. With all the expert based reports being confidential, Bob will be preparing a report for general release on the Trent Clare accident. Gary was able to bring us up to date as he had been talking to Colin. He remains in much the same condition as before. Progress with any brain condition is very slow. Trent has been taken off some medication and has woken and moved for short periods. Colin and the family are very much aware that people are thinking of them but continue to ask for privacy as the family comes first. 3. Speed week date for 2016, if we were to go with the same week and moon phase it would be the 7th to 11th March 2016. However it was agreed that to go a week earlier would be better. This is also preferred by the CFS guys as there is a long weekend from 12-14 March in South Australia next year. So the date being mooted at the moment is the 29th February to 6th March 2016. This will be ratified at the next committee meeting. 4. Portable Toilet issues – basically we were 4 toilets down from day one as the parts used in making repairs failed us. Several members are now looking at replacement toilets, preferably not mounted to a trailer as our existing frames are in good condition. 5. Mats – Garry Brennan has put a proposal to the committee. Whilst at the lake during Speed Week Gary looked at the predicament we find ourselves in with the ramp access. In his opinion improvements could be made with the introduction of a second lane and continuation of the mats out to around 400 metres. He estimates that this would require another 300 mats and at least 2 marshals with traffic control equipment. Then there would be the storage required for the mats, and Garry thinks that we could fit them in a couple of the existing equipment containers. He has already contacted a supplier called Trak Mats and obtained a price of $250 per mat + GST, this is down from when we made our original purchase at $330 per mat, so represents good value. He will be speaking to the supplier again soon. Now to the unique part of his proposal. Gary would like to instigate a sponsorship program to at least cover some of the costs of the mats to the club. This would be called “Buy a Mat” and each club member would be encouraged to sell one mat to a sponsor, of course they may choose to buy one themselves. In recognition of those who supported this program there would be a sign prominently displayed in the pits and a certificate of appreciation presented to all purchasers. Garry claims to have already sold 2 mats and if the proposal is successful will by the first mat himself. 6. Volunteers, it was very disappointing to see the high number of entrants who did not help in any way, shape or form this year. They think they are getting away with something, but there is no free ride and next year volunteering will be compulsory, no job no run, simple as that. 7. Dates for Committee meetings and General meetings - a list of proposed dates has been attached for members to comment on. These dates will be finalised at the next committee meeting. 8. Quad Bike – has been returned to Castlemaine to be disposed of as we have no use for it. It cannot be registered or put on a permit and is too small for towing the toilets. 9. New Printer for Timing Van - the old one went up in smoke on the Tuesday due in no small part to the salty conditions, so we are looking to buy at least one maybe two printers. Action: Gary Satara has offered a second hand printer. 10. More Leaf Blowers needed – The club has 2 leaf blowers that are being serviced and have been given another 2 by the mower shop, so 4 blowers should be plenty. Just have to make sure they make it into the truck. 11. Mark Dunn has made a suggestion that Cars run on one track and bikes on the other track. Members can discuss the merit of this on the forum. 12. At the AGM Mark Dunn suggested that we discuss life membership. This was considered by the committee to be an excellent idea. Now we just have to come up with criteria for nomination for life membership. Is it for service to the club? Or number of active years as a member? How many do we allocate per year? Another good discussion for the forum. 13. 200mph Achiever recognition on Monday 23rd March (tail wind). There were 5 entrants who exceeded 200mph only on the Monday. Greg W has asked do we recognise them as 200mph achievers? A decision by committee on this will be held over until the next meeting. 14. Repairs to DLRA truck – A quote to fix the damage has been obtained by a company in Castlemaine, a representative of John’s will inspect the truck and may seek a second quote next week. 15. There was discussion about the 250 metre buffer around the lakes edge and the exemption of the canteen from the buffer. Action: Greg to investigate how the canteen area is defined. 16. Gary Satara is of the opinion that it is the DLRA’s responsibility to enforce new rules for vehicles that are faster than 200mph. This includes a vehicles weight distribution and the presentation of a weight sheet as part of scrutineering. Steve suggested that discussion about his be moved to the forum to give the wider membership the opportunity to discuss this issue. Action: Gary to put together a proposal for what effectively is a rule change. 17. Newsletter – if we are to have a General Meeting in Melbourne in early May, we need to get a newsletter out very soon. Action: Carol to contact Gemma Dunn Reports As is our best practice we invite key members of the team to give their opinions of Speed Week, what worked and what didn’t, more importantly how we can improve. These comments will be collated into like groups and then evaluated, costed and prioritised. Graeme Hadley 1) I need two more PATROL magnets for Ross Brown they wouldn't let him on the lake one morning 2) Driver licensing is not clear. It says Licenses may be obtained from the scrutineering tent during the DLRA speed week this isn't correct. 3) Additions to Rule 1L a. Speed limit in the pits. It needs to be in the rule book and we need to have signs displayed in and at the end of the pits b. We couldn't realistically yellow sticker any one for a rule that is unwritten c. CB radio. It needs to read UHF CB radio and it needs to be clearer in the rules that it cannot be a hand held unit d. Road rules apply on the lake. if it has a steering wheel you should be in a seat and not riding in the back if it has handlebars, you should have a helmet on these would be discretionary yellow sticker offenses. e. With regards to the helmet rule in the pits, we may have to again make the threat that all vehicles when not on the course will have to be towed and motorcycles NOT ON A ROPE f. The red sticker and yellow sticker guidelines may also need to be in the rule book g. There is also reference in the rule book to a "rookie Sticker" we either need to have a rookie sticker or remove the reference from the rule book 4) The Drivers/Participants meeting on Sunday. Animal talked about the long course and short course. this was confusing for some as we had indicated there was a course 1 and course 2 Also myself and Bob had what we felt were important things we wanted to say to the Drivers and Riders which we didn't get a chance to do due to the meeting being cut short for the AGM some of those things were regarding the road rules on the lake 5) Check box for Glycol or coloured coolant needs to be on the motorcycle inspection check list and a reference to it in the motorcycle rules 6) We need to mark out the area around the start line as a crew only area. more than once we had to move people away from running cars and bikes 7) Communication - Although we had issues with the FM station, the backup was to be uhf channel 10. We had some problems with microphone levels on the FM station so we ended up putting DLRA channel three into the FM 92 which gave some info to people with FM radios, but the Stans noted they didn't have an FM radio We need to have a rethink on this and perhaps put DLRA three which was the course 1 radio into a uhf channel 10 repeater, I'll work on this. Continuing with channel 10, this was supposed to also be used to inform competitors chase vehicles and crew if there was a problem. We had an indecent with Stuart Hooper on Monday afternoon where his bike caught fire and his crew were listening on both UHF10 and FM92 and had no idea there was a problem this was before we put DLRA3 straight into 92fm 8) Track 2 - On Monday I had to run up and down the lake to organize a radio for track 2. This may have been because no car based radio was provided for track2 timer because it was thought it would have been run from the timing van. The courses were too far apart for the timing van to be an effective base of operations for both tracks. I volunteered Goggles for starters duties on a number of days and he seemed to get it. During Thursday, myself Goggles and Flea had a go at running course 2. Googles was the starter with a walkie talkie and headphones. Flea was doing the Sheets and was relaying information to and from the timing van. It seemed to work well with Goggles being the starter and hearing all the comms from myself, timing 2 and Northern rescue. So it looks like we need a separate base/car radio for track 2, a walkie talkie and headphones or head set. Also on a number of occasions, Registration called up the timer to ask for a particular vehicle speed. This wouldn't be a problem, except the timer stopped what he was doing to find the sped and relay it back to registration. This seemed to happen when we had a streamliner or lakester on the line and running and Northern had called track clear. So we all sat waiting for timing to call up a time. I think this may be better handled with some sort of Wi-Fi connection between registration and timing. The other thing that bother me was that we didn't have the GPS option on track 2. What happened to all those GPS units we had and why wasn't that an option for competitors? And finally on track 2 it may be a good idea to put an observer out on the west side of track two at about 1 1/2 mile. quite a lot of the stuff that ran there didn't make it to timing and Northern had to come down and look for them as they couldn't be seen from the start line 9) Volunteers - where were they? Maybe we should run a meeting limited to competitors who have had a member of their team volunteer. There would be a lot less bikes Dion Higgins Caught up with Shannon and Maz over the weekend. Discussed and reviewed our 10 days at Mt ive March 2015. Overall had a great time and thought that we done a good job catering this year. However donating gear and resources and volunteering time is one thing, but to loss a substantial amount of money is another. I did want to personally come down to a committee meeting but after talking with you and understanding this is the first one after the event maybe just write a few issues down so it can be thrown down on the table and allow more important topics to rise up and get addressed. So here goes. • TIMING - Too close to Easter for Mildura Ice Works. Late Feb, early March • SPECTATORS - Nowhere near enough communication / commentary. Lots wanted to help, but didn’t know where or how • LAKE ENTRY - More mats, straight line, speed restriction. Less and monitored access. Full time shuttle service or trailer behind pie cart   • TRACK 1 - Main track needs a ticketing system. Stay in pits for 4 hrs not at start line. Wind socks every mile. Ask for sponsorship and Mildura Ice will gladly purchase one. • TRACK 2 - Relocated back to start of pit area. • ICE SALES - Unfortunately there will be no donation back to the DLRA this year. Positive side we did endeavour to supply lots of zooper doopers to DLRA volunteers. • FOOD SALES - Discussion to be raised as to what this facility is worth to have or not to have in the overall scheme of things. Lucky enough Joy reduced her charge of the canteen however the no drinks and alcohol still hurts the package. Joy did say that she won’t be doing the food in 2016. With our food handling certificates and digital readouts of temperatures we passed the health inspectors inspection with flying colours. This raises the question, just imagine given people a dose of food poison • TRENT CLARE - There is a bloke in Mildura that had a camera on rapid fire which got about 8 shots of the crash whilst it was happening. Craig Beruldson hasn’t put any of this on social media • OVERALL - Not a bitch session, want to help, be involved, be constructive and most of all keep improving the way we do things Russell Branson Just some points the teams have raised that might help the Club. From our situations of Northern & Southern Rescue; • Communications: Basic communications skills e.g., protocol and technique training. • Starter needs to position themselves so vehicle noise does not come through the radios. • Starter needs to be very situation aware as there are 3 key points to the safety of the track. TIMER to manage the track and to allow release of vehicle, STARTER to release when directed and announce when vehicle leaving the line, and RESCUE to make sure the track is clear of the vehicle and that there were no mishaps on the track. When that all happened is when they get a big number of passes for the day. • Black track markers made of the woven shade cloth was much better than the garbage bags. • Green track clearance flags worked well for Southern Rescue, but a few more would be a lot more efficient. Southern Rescue travelled the south/north line of the flags. • Return track having those tall flags was an improvement, but the wind direction dictates the effectiveness as they all disappear at some point. The lack of vision some vehicles have increases the issue. We suggest that the flags remain but still put a physical barrier between them such as large or small cones. We wonder if some of the vehicles and even a few bikes if they even see that line of flags as they went straight passed them. But having the salt so smooth also impacts what needs to be done. • Track 1 support vehicles have to travel on the return track for total safety reasons. We can't have them travelling between track and return road. • Support vehicles flashing lights now have become very small and emit a pathetic flash which is hard or impossible to see. A standard needs to set. • This one is for the competitors. The short track, the past couple years, especially when you get to Thursday and Friday, the slower guys are out there for a bit of fun so they just keep doing runs. For them to drive nearly 3 mile to get to the track for a short burst, drive back at least 6 mile to check the vehicle out and return is not competitor friendly. The other factor is the amount and distance the support vehicle is travelling. All this puts more pressure on the salt and increases the amount of area used increasing risk of spillage spread. • Is it worthwhile considering the pits closer to the canteen , so as lake this year making less traffic on the salt, making it more spectator friendly and access to the canteen all day. Paul Lynch Preliminary Testing of timing equipment: A number of changes were talked about after Speed Week 2014 and some of these were implemented for Speed Week 2015 with varying levels of success. The main change was the purchase of additional timing gear to be used for timing on the old GPS track – now known as Track 2. A list of equipment to be purchased was agreed upon and the gear sourced from Event Timing. The gear comprised of the following: 2 x Tag Heuer Chronoprinter CP540 2 x GPS/GSM docking stations 2 x Tag Heuer photocells (80m span) 4 x 5 watt wireless data modem radios 3 x Track side antennas 1 x Master Antenna The decision was made to not use Event Timing to build the new equipment into cases as the quote for doing so was prohibitive and an offer was made by myself to undertake this. This was completed in time for the event and the gear was then packed and returned to Castlemaine to be taken to the Lake. Another project undertaken prior to the event was the fabrication of new mounting poles for the additional track side radio antennas. This was handled by Gary Brennan and the new poles were very effective. To provide timing on Track 2 it was necessary to prepare a second laptop with the timing application. I loaded the application on to the laptop and had the database set up by a co-worker. This tested well in standalone mode but failed to record results into the database when connected up properly on site. This will be further investigated in the Action Items Summary at the end of this document. Prior to the event, my partner was diagnosed with breast cancer and it was looking like I would not be able to attend. Fortunately, I was able to attend for a few days to get the event running and then leave. Therefore this report will be only for the days that I was at the event and what I had heard following the closure of Speed Week. This also highlighted a problem area being the single points of failure within the club for certain positions. This is also subject to review later in this document. Mitigation for my late arrival on the lake was to line up Matthew Saunders and Dennis Campbell to do the install of the equipment on the lake and I would help to complete this task upon arrival. Equipment Condition and installation: Upon arrival at Lake Gairdner, Matt and Dennis advised that they installed the radios at the timing van and were preparing the timing gear for installation on the course. There was an issue with locating the timing light bases and some other hardware but it was located in the DLRA truck. All timing light equipment was installed and ready to run by 8:30pm Sunday night. Installation was made easier with the use of levels to pre-position the timing lights and final positioning determined by eye. Fresh batteries had been installed in all of the timing lights as well as in the Chronoprinters. All seven installations (5 for Track 1 and 2 for Track 2) took approx. 4 hours to complete. Gary Brennan had made up new antenna mounts utilising orange conduit following the last event. These have proven to be easy to install and can be broken down after the event into smaller items to ease pack up. A big thanks to Gary for making these. The timing van is in poor condition and a replacement has been investigated. Monday - Day 1 of Speed Week: Day one started out with putting out the timing gear. The equipment was deployed and a fixed speed timing calibration run was then employed to see if the speed achieved was comparable with the reading on the speedo of the test vehicle. This proved that the equipment was now correctly calibrated and runs could then proceed. Track 2 was not opened at this point as the return road was not in the best condition. So efforts focussed on Track 1 and training of new volunteers. Actions: • Timing equipment is to be turned on and the system synchronised at the timing van prior to deployment to the mile markers each morning following battery charging overnight. • Speed calibration check to occur each morning prior to the first run of the day to check that the system is accurate. • Cheat sheets to be developed for all tasks needed to be performed by the timers. Examples include: • Set up of the timing lights • Set up of the chronoprinters (  • Set up of the timing van. Equipment connection and layout documented. Problems: • Printer connection to the second laptop was not thought of prior to the event. An alternative needs to be determined. • Database connection from the Track 2 laptop application did not work. Needs to be rectified. Observations: • AA batteries for timing lights need to be freshly deployed but are then good for the duration of the event. • 12v batteries for chronoprinters and radios. An idea is to use a solar panel for each setup to remove the need to charge batteries during the week. • AAA batteries – 1 pack needed. • Printer instructions needed in order to change an ink cartridge. Tuesday - Day 2 of Speed Week: Day two also started out OK with the timing system being set up by the team of Matt, Dennis and Peter Hulbert. There was an issue with Track 1 timing in the morning due to connection being lost with the serial interface for the timing laptop. This was quickly fixed but needs to be addressed so that it doesn’t happen again. Actions: • Source a USB to 9 pin serial cable from Jaycar to fix the connectivity issue. Final notes and action items summary: Following Speed Week 2015 and from the feedback received the changes I’d recommend making are as follow: • Source more timing light mounts that are easy to manoeuvre and are rigid in construction. • Investigate the possibility of solar panels being set up for recharging of the timing gear during the day. • Reconfigure the front end timing application to allow further customisation such as: • inclusion of weather data into the timing slip. • change the reporting formats to provide more information and allow for filtering within Excel. • Allowance for pre-staging multiple vehicles within the application to reduce data input time and allow for changes to running order. • Investigate the cost of weather stations suitable to be used and integrated with the timing system. • Investigate wireless networking solutions with a view to making the timing information available at other points on the lake. Ability for users to do their own look up of timing data. • Investigate alternate location of timing van at the start of the course to facilitate easier entry of details and observation of initial section of the courses. Michael Brixton HI all I have had numerous discussions with DLRA members mostly to be honest with long term members such as Tony Cooke , Pete Noy , Smurf and Grant Schlien etc as I believe this would have a more constructive outcome as they have been around awhile. 1) Pits closer to the lake entrance 2) Limit traffic on lake 3) Start tracks further south 4) More mats required 5) No lunch breaks when we start late 6) Make sure GPS units available for track 2 in case of timing equipment failure 7) Wind speeds to be monitored at various points along track 1 8) Racing to cease if over 15mph cross wind 9) Control spectator entry onto the lake from day one (not after lake surface breaks up) 10) 2 tracks one for bikes one for cars 11) If reduced to one track you could have 2 lines for the main track 1 for bikes and 1 for cars and they run alternately; Bike , Car and so on. 12) Getting volunteers coordinated once racing starts 13) If racing is to start at a certain time on the Monday it must start on time 14) Marshals to be positioned at each mile marker to monitor vehicle is clear etc. Perhaps to entice people to volunteer and do the right thing when you send out the entry forms it would have all the usual information entry fee costs etc. but you add a list of jobs that need doing and if they nominate and tick the box all good . If they decide they don’t want to commit they pay an extra fee of $100.00 or $200.00 to race and if they say there not going to pay it they don’t race. Again not sure how you monitor this without it creating even more work for somebody not even sure it’s practical or doable. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what the club does to try and improve things if we don’t get enough volunteers to do the work it will not happen it will just get left to the same people currently to do what they already do and some. Perhaps the above is a way to let members know that if you don’t commit in time to the jobs that need doing that’s fine but you will pay a premium to run. The above dot points are not meant to come across as blunt or arrogant I just didn’t want to go into a long winded email Steve Charlton • Need to have the lake entrance manned at all times, an option would be to limit shifts to just 2 hours. • Many visitors/spectators vehicles did not have a tarp to put under their vehicle • Introduce mat movement teams • Radio problems, new style headsets with different microphones • Toilets • Scrutineering, push car checks, many did not have a complete spill kit • Glycol in vehicles, this is banned on the salt. • The need for high speed vehicles to be inspected by 2 scrutineers Norm Bradshaw • Toilets • Mats • Wrist bands • Tool Kits for Rescue Teams • Volunteers • Timing • Communication Greg Telford • Packing list for DLRA truck • Orange Bali flags • Dolly wheels for beam • Green Clearance Flags Dean Adamson Toilets - The vacuum tank system did not work as good as it could have, there was problems with incompatible hoses and clamps. In the future we would need to sort this out. The vacuum motor and pump worked fine, the fresh water tank worked fine. The parts and spares bought in Port Augusta all failed within days of being installed. • Toilet #5 has a leak from the wastewater tank • Toilet #7 has a leak from the fresh water tank • Toilet #2 old style pump broken • Toilet #6 new style pump broken Meeting closed 11.38pm ============================================================================================================= Dates for 2015 - 2016 ============================================================================================================= April Committee Meeting 20th April 2015 May Committee Meeting 11th May 2015 We said it would be on the 4th General Meeting #1 11th May 2015 This is a Monday, can we please have it later in the Month in time to get a newsletter out.

Moved: Carol Hadfield Seconded: Steve Charlton General Business: 1. To proceed with the proposal to secure the company name Gary and Stephen have indicated that they would become office bearers if there were no other committee wanting to do it. 2. Bob gave an update on Trent Clare, he has been moved to the Brain Injury Ward, and he still has a tracheotomy but is breathing on his own and is being fed through a tube. He does respond to Colin and has limited movement in his legs. The family are very well aware of everyone’s wishes but continue to ask for privacy during his long recovery. 3. Toilets at Salt Bush Camp and Canteen. The DLRA is now supplying 2 toilets for the camp and another for the canteen. Michael Brixton suggested that maybe DEW mandate Mt. Ive to supply toilets, but it would more than likely be Dept. of Health. Steve suggested that we contact DEW again about constructing a drop toilet at the Salt Bush camp. The problem is the camp is on Mt.Ive lease, so we would need to get permission from them. Mt. Ive have already indicated that they will not spend any money on the camp, so we need some way of raising money or sponsorship for this project 4. Mats – Gary B wanted to clarify what was minuted in so far so he was talking about not a full second lane rather a splitting of the lane about 30 metres out. He has been in contact with the suppliers again and they do not have the same mats we have now in stock and when they do they will be $290 +GST. They do have another brand that are made in Europe and are only $208 + GST, problem is they are black. There was lots of discussion as to what effect the colour would have on our application. As another alternative solution Gary said that the supplier can hire the mats to us from their Whyalla depot but they would need some heads up as to how many we would want. ACTION: Gary to enquire on how much it would cost to hire 300 mats and get them delivered to the lake. 5. Quad bike – Graham has volunteered to service it and then the plan is to sell it as it is not suitable for our purposes. Discussion was then centred on a replacement. Another quad bike is not an option as they cannot be registered without considerable modification and to buy one that could do the job would be in the region of $7-8000. It was considered a much better alternative would be to buy 2 utes (for the same or less money), one for the toilets and one to replace Chris Hanlon’s ute which has now been taken away. ACTION: Committee members to look for a ute or crew cab to do the job. 6. The concept of a form of recognition system was discussed again. There is unanimous support for this. A suggestion was made to call it a “Hall of Fame” rather than a life membership to avoid confusion. This was moved by Bob and seconded by Gary B. It was felt that nominations could be made under several titles or activities so that the recipient could be someone could be a competitor or an official in fact anyone that was deserving of recognition and that criterion would be left open at this stage. 7. 200mph achievers, at the last meeting Greg proposed that those competitors who achieved 200mph on the windy Monday be accredited as an achiever. The committee requested that this be held over until this meeting to consider. Bob made the point that there was no accurate instrument to test the wind for 2015. There was unanimous agreement to accept this proposal. ACTION: Greg W to adjust results page. 8. Repairs to DLRA truck – John has had his representative to inspect the truck and provide a quote which was over $5000. We are now waiting for John to respond. 9. New rules and weight charts, Bob told us that the Yanks know what happened at Speed Week and are also very much trying to make something good out of a bad situation. Barry Bryant is collating information about recent incidences in an effort to make for safer vehicles to be constructed. This will be in memory of his brother Geoff Bryant who passed away as the result of an accident at Bonneville 10. The quotation for the new radio equipment included 2 heavy duty headsets, 1 throat mike, 2 car radios and 4 hand helds. The committee were very happy with the price quoted. Moved to purchase by Greg W, seconded by Steve 11. DLRA Conference Day – if we are to do this, it looks like the Saturday prior to October General Meeting would be the ideal time. ACTION: Gary S to draft an agenda for a Conference 12. Phone Conference Calls –Paul informed us that the system has let us use over the last 12 months is closing. He has already identified a similar system that would cost us $30-40 per meeting. ACTION: Paul to set up our new conference call host 13. Timing Trailer, the trailer we recently purchased has on closer inspection proved to be not as good as what we first thought. Gary B found another larger van in Shepparton that would be very suitable and he thinks he can negotiate a good price for it. It is already set up into two rooms and has windows to suit. So the plan now is to strip the first van and set it up for carrying the mats as the trailers we have are very light weight and to purchase the bigger van. Thanks to Greg Butler for picking up the original van and doing some work on it. ACTION: Gary B arrange purchase Shepparton caravan 14. Caps for foundation members, get 25 of this year’s caps embroidered with “Lake Gairdner 25 years” on the back as a special souvenir. Cost is about $5 each. Approved. ACTION: Carol to arrange to get 25 caps embroidered. 15. 200mph Club caps and decals are ready to be sent out. We will present to those that are at the Victorian Meeting, the others will be posted out. Plus the tin signs have arrived as well. 16. Repayment of Loans – Need to send out a letter to get payment details. Give an option to turn it into a donation. ACTION: Gary S and Carol to draft letter 17. Paul had produced a comprehensive report on the timing System. Comment will be held over until the next meeting so that people have a chance to read it. 18. Gary asked when the next payment to Carol was due to be made, not due until July. 19. Gary proposed that all entries only be accepted on the Try Booking system; however several other members felt that it would never be possible to get 100% compliance and many members were not computer literate or had access to a computer. All we could do is encourage entrants to use the system in preference to hard copy. 20. The Victorian General Meeting has been moved to 24th May 2015 as Queensland is holding their meeting on the 17th May. ACTION: Greg to confirm use of NSSR clubrooms 21. Items to come out of reports. Held over for next meeting Meeting closed 10.00pm ============================================================================================================= WITHOUT ALL OUR SPONSORS HELP WE WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO RACE.
