Marlo commented that they are going into a black hole  , there is a phone at the DLRA camp 8 miles back from the lake .  08 8648 1818 .   Like motel rooms in Wendover dont expect people to answer during racing hours , ring and be prepared to leave a message for your guys to call back . Mount Ive homestead office is  08 8648 1817.

08 prefix is an australian area code then the number .  No cell coverage .landline only .

Also to add to what Paul has said in previous post,, there is coverage with Sattelite phones, but I am told thay do not support sending or receiving data

Does anybody know did they seek prior approval to run DLRA since they don't meet the rules?

  Sid.

I've got to ask - which rule?

[kiwi belly tank]

"Steering must be mechanical link type" they have hydraulic steering.

It's my understanding that the DLRA guys tend to defer to SCTA-BNI rules.  In fact, the DLRA rulebook is essentially a cut-and-paste of the SCTA book.

Now that said, the DLRA clearly has the right to make their own exceptions and judgement calls. 

I'm assuming SCTA-BNI gave them permission to use it, or they never would have been able to test.

  What steering? At 42' long with (if memory serves) 6 degrees of steering, it would probably take two miles to make a u-turn... O.R.B., out.................................

FWIW: Russ Meeks' Instagram showed him sitting in LAX on the way to the Australian Salt to help Target 550:
