K,
I love the userid.

Got any good pics from Bonneville?

[Salt Racer]

John,
Actually I only took one picture of flooded salt flats. You rarely see something new after going to Speed Week for several years, and I was fairly busy as a volunteer worker this year (but SCTA paid me $470! :icon996: )

David Pozzi showed up on Monday night, and we cruised around in my Riv on Tuesday and Wednesday during my spare time. He was taking a bunch of pics.

Here are some samples from www.scta-bni.org and www.landracing.com...

My friends' friend Freddy Dannenfelzer's 330mph Lakester

308mph Firebird

A REAL Mercedes gull wing

Stang Cobra set 203mph record in C production supercharged class


Remember the Model T I built the chassis for? It did the best of 127mph. My prediction of 130mph was damn close. They finally realized they need properly-built bigger motor to go faster (duh!). However, the car did track straight and was very stable, according to my friend Ed Whiteley (he's driven at 200+ in a '53 Stude). Ed made the first pass in the car just to check things out since none of guys in the team have ever driven on salt.


John Rains' awesome 295mph single-turbo v6 Firebird. He set a new record @ 278-ish in different class this year.


Al Bloomberg's 205mph Pantera. We bent roll cage for this car.


Gotta get back to work now. I'll add some more later.
