Who's going to Bonneville this year.?

 

[Skylinerider]

Looks like it starts Saturday. I want to head out for a day, maybe Sunday with my son.

 

[mbryson]

Really! I have never been out but might have to get out there this year

I leave for Europe in a couple weeks, so I just have too many last minute things to deal with to make it out there. Marc, it's well worth the drive. Take your new cruiser, and plan on half the day walking through the pits. My neighbor left yesterday with his streamliner bike on the trailer, so the fun has already started.

Landracing.com also has live streaming of the times cars run.
Tons of hotrods will be cruising around.

I'm afraid I'll want to run the G8. Probably taking the Cummins, a cooler full of beverages, an EZ-Up and some chairs. Seriously considering taking Tuesday off. I'll have to move a few meetings

Don't forget sunscreen under your armpits and the bottom of your nose, etc.

Anyone off work on Monday? I think I'm going to head out then?

 

[BCGPER]

I am, but Beckie might kill me.

 

[BCGPER]

I just got word Breedlove is out there

That would have been sooo cool to see that. Lucky.

We are still planning on heading out tomorrow. We've heard it's ideal to arrive earlyish? 8:00 am or so?

 

[mbryson]

Loading the truck up. We should be headed from WX about 6:30

Just got back. First time out. Got there around 9:30-10:00. Ended up about the 2 mile marker. Take binoculars, shade, water, sunscreen, sunglasses and a bicycle to cruise the pits.

I'm not going to make it out. Just had something come up that I thought was scheduled for Tuesday but it got moved to tomorrow.

Turns out my numbers from yesterday were all wrong but the challenger 2 ran 411mph.
Today the Speed Demon ran 406.
The Turbonator couldn't get the helicopter engine to fire and has yet to run.

What a rush.

 

[Hickey]

What a rush.

Meh, my Jeep could go faster, if I use the high octane pump at the local Maverick.
