Queensland Timing Association event in August 2012

[Seldom Seen Slim]

I've received notice that there will be a land speed racing event in Australia this August.  Please follow the link, and, if you're interested in what's going on -- please notice the rules about entry.  It's stressed that this first-ever event will be a test of many things - including the surface' ability to withstand racing, the area infrastructure, and other items.  It's obvious that a good lot of thought has gone into making this event happen.  Whether you can race there this time or not -- you ought to take the time to read about how these folks are trying to do it.

Slim, they may need someone experienced to manage the dunnies.

I have NO IDEA what dunnies are....

the trouble is that it is so close to Bonneville Speedweek, that, while I would dearly love to go, I cannot make it down there....

Australian (Strine) English  to US English

Dunnies = Toilets
Thunderboxes = Long drop toilets
Portaloos = What Seldom Seen Slim organizes for Bonneville

Two nations, divided by one language?

Thunderboxes?  What a fine name for them - considering the noises I've heard coming from some of the portaloos.

Thunderboxes -- gotta remember that one.  Maybe we should investigate equipping some of the units with noise-cancelling insulation. :-P
