FTO AUSTRALIA

Has anybody thought of participating in the Salt Lake Racing tracks around SA? (Lake Gairdner)
Would be fun to see the top speed of stock and modified FTOs. Not about attempting to break records...just check what our cars can do

Phil you should go!!

Yea, nah bugger driving all that way. That's like 7 hours from where I live....

Good idea, but...

It's about 6 hours from me, google maps, that's about 8.5 hours from Adelaide. About 175km of outback dirt road for the final bit of driving. You couldn't drive the FTO there, you would have to have a 4WD and car trailer. You have to camp there for a week or two, event goes for 10 days. You have to catch a 4WD bus from camp to the pits daily. You have to always have your racecar over a tarp so you can't spoil the salt. It's in February, so you would just be cooked to a crisp. etc etc etc

and...

IT'S SALT......RUST RUST RUST RUST AND MOAR RUST.

Definitely not for me.

Should've taken my old car there

Was gonna say, doesn't salt all rust up everything?

I wish we had abandoned airstrips here like they do where they film TopGear.

but it's only a few kilometres.

I think we need an autobahn instead.

The RAAF base now has it's own highway... haha

Well then.

We must concoct a legitimate use to acquire the use of it!

I used to have a pass to get onto the RAAF base, but unfortunately I no longer do, but I still know the base like the back of my hand haha

Who's to say the previous owner didnt. Would explain the condition.....

It wasnt that bad.

Anyway, s'ok, I have a new dstocks special that will get all of my TLC. I kinda stopped caring about my old one towards the end of my ownership if I'm honest.
