Well your question is not odd at all. We know the ladies must be well catered for or we will be banned from attending
. The container ablutions being built are very well designed, and I am sure the ladies will be most confortable. There will be one for ladies and one for gents. I have attached the spec sheet to impress the Missus. We are also installing 2 x 40 000 L water tanks and and a 16km water pipeline, so there will be hot and cold water, as well as a water purifier plant.

Scrutineers Checklist
The checklist is almost ready for publishing, so expect it shortly.
Tyres
This is a sticky one at this stage. The last thing we want you to do is get a Darwin Award. So think carefully before exceeding your tyre's capability. You will be required to sign a comprehensive indemnity prior to running as well. If you wish to exceed your tyre's capability then you do so at your own risk, but know that it may very well be your last run ever. Is it really worth it? But to start with, you will not be able to exceed the rating anyway and here is why:
Clay running is uncharted territory, so everybody attending Kalahari Desert SpeedWeek for the first time will be considered rookies. So you have to level up your club licence to protect you from killing yourself. Everybody will start at level 1. The Licensing Officer/Track Mentor will be watching how you handle yourself and the vehicle during the run. After a safe run within your restrictions, you can go convince him to sign a level up. Then you can go faster. Exceed any of the licence restrictions and your stay is over. No warnings and no exceptions. We are dishing out free runs to assist drivers to achieve level ups.
Level 1 : 2km track @ max speed of 200km/h.
Level 2 : 2km track @ 250km/h max.
Level 3 : 2km track @ 300km/h max
Level 4 : 5km track @ any speed -> Go For Records
We are also considering color coding caps as bragging rights. Level 4 may be a Green Cap, so you can clearly see who earned their level ups
. They may also become next year's mentors.
). If have any questions or comments just reply to me here. I will be happy to assist.
secondly were do I find a copy of the scrutineers checklist and thirdly is a tire question, is it better to run narrower tires and will we be limited for safety reasons to only run up to our tire manufacturers speed rating ?
