David Warby is currently attempting to beat father Ken's 1978 world record speed of 511km/h also set in the Snowy Valleys.
To allow for the Warby Motorsport team to conduct its private trials and fine tune the Spirit of Australia II for a record attempt, Transport for NSW has declared the dam, north of Point Monster, an exclusion zone.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Usually conducting trials and attempts at Blowering Dam, 45 minutes north towards Tumut, Warby Motorsport will use Talbingo Dam in order to minimise disruption to other boating enthusiasts over the weekend.
Control vessels will be monitoring the exclusion zone between 7am - 5pm on allocated dates.
