Salt Flats!

[Johnny Blaze]

Well, its final, my father and I are going to Bonneville this year. It will be our first time, and something we have talked about for years. We drove by when I was a kid, not during race time, so it should be real fun!

I am sure we will get salt fever, and will want to run a car someday. Who has been?

I was looking for a forum but have not found one.

I went out and watch Bob and crew run the XXXLR last summer.
Two very important things, light colored, long sleeve clothes and blue blocker sunglasses.
Plenty of water goes without saying also.
You are in for a very cool experience, I really enjoyed the time I spent out there last year.

[deuce]

the body is steal and made by brookville roadsters , they use original henry ford tooling to make bodies just about exact to original

Deuce, You should check out the Maxton Mile in Maxton NC. They run one weekend a month spring-fall. Be a whole lot closer than the salt flats . A nice bunch of East coast people run there. You can get quite a few runs if you want to run NASCAR style, just go easy on the return road and the road out to the start from the pits.
