See the program hereĪ: In Australia the only location is Lake Gairdner in South Australia. Monday morning on track 2 is dedicated to Rookies to make their licensing passes, that's about it.

There are events conducted on roads or other paved surfaces, these are called SPRINT events and while greats speeds may be obtained over short distances this not technically land speed racing.Įntrants compete on a comparison of their timed speed to the existing class record.įor more information refer to the DLRA Rule Book or the SCTA Rule Book. On the salt flats, vehicles are timed over a "flying" mile or kilometer, according to international rules, after a two mile approach.Īt the dry lakes events vehicles are timed through a 132 foot trap at the end of a 1.3 or 1.5 mile approach. You will see everything from 50cc motorcycles right up to 300+ mph streamliners. Race vehicles run on a natural surface of either a dry lake bed or the salt flats, one at a time, over a timed distance.
