What will be his IQ?

It's not some backyard built vehicle, it's brand new and passed all ADR requirements, the car and the tyres are rated for the speed.

The run is in daylight and only lasts a few seconds at said speed, the road is straight and clear of other traffic, visability is good, the only danger was animal strike which can be fatal and happen at any speed.



Do yourself a favour stop watching the **** Today tonight try and palm off as journalism. It lowers your IQ level by the second.

Posting on youtube and facebook was silly.

If not autobahn's, this country needs a tollroad like the Nurburgring, or better yet abolish CAMS, give our towns back their local racetracks and bring back grass roots motorsports in this county.

Not that 110 is legal for a road train in NSW, but the speedo in most modern cars over-read by 3-6KPH so if you're cruising along on your speedo at 100KPH, you are likely only going 94KPH actual. Check your speedo against a GPS and see what I mean.

Thanks. I've got to go there in January for work :(

I haven't seen too many roadtrains in Melbourne. You seem to have little understanding of them.

I'm with you on abolishing CAMS. CAMS has destroyed club level motor sport in Australia by adding level upon level of bureaucracy and expense driving the owner/driver or one car owner out of the sport. Formula Ford is stone boring and it costs upwards of $500,000 a year to run a top car. Then we have super expensive rich man's classes like Porsche Cup.

Our remaining circuits have become short lap wonders only suitable for small cars and low speeds. We need another Bathurst or Lowood where the big thundering specials can exercise their top speeds down long straights, not another Qld. Raceway which is point and squirt.

But no to toll roads of any description. A big definite don't you understand no.

GEARS have the right idea. Bring your car along and take it out on the circuit and play with it.

Brian, CAMS/motorsport is no different to any other sport today. All are driven by the love of the dollar, not the passion for the game.

Historic Speedway is thriving but seems to have the same sort of ******* running clubs as elsewhere. Intraclub wrangles, hair pulling and handbag swinging have started two new clubs from disputes in the original. Actually one started from disputes in the original and a third from disputes in the second. All three now seem to be going well aside from the usual back stabbing and malicious gossip.

From my time in the NT, see a road train coming, pull over. Golden Rule. And that is from both directions, Bob

My old man (a mechanic) was big on 'practice' - "that's all fine in theory" he'd say to me, "but it's not how it works in practice". I'd upset him no end by telling him that if the theory was good enough, complete enough, accurate enough, then it was how it worked in practice. That was stirring, not actual belief, though - I sum it up this way
"In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is"
