Well my motors out and disasembled for repairs (just got it done,lost all the oil,along with the bearings).Putting it back together to attend Mopars at the strip in March.If I don't blow the thing to pieces I'm planning on a gear change,lowering and diffrent wheels/tires and going to Bonneville with it in Aug.Have any of you other guys gone? Would anyone be interested in going? Bringing your cars?I ordered a copy of the rule book.Checked it out online , looks pretty straight forwards. I think it would be cool to get some slant cars on the salt.

SOOOOO much money spent and I keep gettin' told that I could have had a V-8

I have wanted to go for about 10 yrs and never made it. Can't say I want to get my rust free cars full of salt, but maybe I'd be willing. Would be great just to go. I could help out with pit duties and tuning...

I have been there 2 times over the years... just to watch or "crew" for another driver.

Someday... it would be fun to actually drive a car "down the black line" but I would really want to do a dedicated land speed car for that.

Exner Geek has had the white car out there. They have a special course they will let non racers run on. He said it was a real PITA to get all the salt out of it.

There used to be a feller by the name of Day who had quite a run on the salt.

I go at least once a year,have been about 10 times,I help with my friends motorcycles,I have made a couple passes down the salt, Just going there is a MUST for any gear head,mark

I went with a friend in 1959. He let me make a couple of passes with his car. A Kurtis "Indy" roadster, with a GMC blown Pontiac V-8. He went a little over 200 mph, and I managed a little under 200 (2 way average).
