Just thought I'd share an event with you all. - Tried creating an event but it refused On Saturday 8th August 2015, the Victoria Blokart Association will be meeting at the boat ramp at 9am (opposite the children's park, and by the toilets) just on the road to Waratah Bay Caravan Site. Here, we'll set up the blokarts (either on the street, or if you can drive on the beach, down on the sand) and have a session of fun races and general beach runs. And of course, plenty of opportunities to have a go yourself. Low tide is at 11.07am at about 0.55m however its too early to see what the weather will be. Usually three days before is a good estimate and I can let you all kno…

Some Lake Ivanpah goodness!! I still think those solar farms look awesome. Video's pretty good too and I love the remote controlled panning gopro rig.

From the folks that bought you the MG Reverse, comes the MG Vertical - a buggy crossed with a land yacht. Does anyone have any good tips for getting the winning lotto ticket? These look like a lot of fun. Info here: http://www.mg-kites.com/site/products/kitebuggy/mg-vertical/

So today, finally the 5.5m sail goes off to get a new luff sleeve. I'm embarrased to say its been a year since I damaged it, but @igeighty did an amazing job patching it up for this long. So it will get its test out at Sandy next weekend. Its off to Horizon Sailmakers today and I will get it back Wednesday. Thats pretty quick and for a reasonable $130 mend! Shall take a before and after shot. Have a great Friday everyone! From Mez

So another proposed run out at Waratah Bay for the VBA group, a 9am start at the boat ramp (see 8th August post for location details) I'm hoping the weather will be nice enough to get in a good day of Blokarting/Buggying. We shall probably do a day trip as the nights are still on the cold side to test out the camper trailer, but have you noticed the mornings are lighting up? I get excited this time of year as it means that the days of going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark are finally out numbered for the rest of this year. So watch this space and I hope a few - if the day goes ahead, are able to come down and have a play on the sand. From Mez

@jhn.holgate That run at Sandy Point, when I hit the string ray hole in the Blofly, I was travelling 42.8kph, which quickly dropped to 15kph (and about a 20 degree drop in temperature)

Thank you for making a topic section for blokarts. Its nice to share my experiences with my blowie in a room dedicated for the sport. I know John H and Cris are both interested. I got into blokarting as I could not reach the foot steering bar on my partner Doug's Peter Lynn buggy.

Here's a beautifully filmed doco on the 2014 Land Sailing World Championships held at Smith Creek in Nevada. It's not so much the race, but a look at the Playa, the weather, the people, why they race and what they race. It's a long vid, so if there's rubbish on TV, grab a beverage and sit down in front of this in HD (it's a little over 35minutes). There's some stunning footage of storms and even a little twister on the playa. One of the best vids I've seen on youtube and much better than all the crap on TV at the moment.

Roll up, roll up, stick yer Lake Lefroy vids here! With the annual regatta coming up, a few vids of the lake might be nice for us southerners to have a look at to whet our collective appetites.

Chook on the pole. It pinched my sound track. Managed to win the State titles in the mini class and came second in the open class.
