Here is a couple of links to various websites.
Running here in Oz means you have to follow the DLRA ( Dry Lakes Racers Australia) rules which are a tad different to the US (say Bonnevile) rules.
Here you must run a roll cage which is not a requirement in the US for the 36 HP Challenge and tyres must be fitted with metal valve stems. They are
the primary differences.

Let me know if you need further info,

So the 36hp engine stays 36hp, with no mods at all?
Whats the differing factor between competitors? (excluding the different in their body weights and how far they press the accelerators etc. etc.)
This sounds awesome and affordable

69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears.
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta! |
