Landspeed racing in Texas!

[side_valve]

What will they think of next? How about landspeed racing on a frozen lake in Wisconsin!

Side Valve are you thinking of Texas instead of the Salt Flats ...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Or Are you thinking a bunch of HAMB'rs should take a stab at this runway in our traditional cars...? That would be fun! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif


Just a note..., When Corvette set the endurance record in the early 90's..., it was on a 12 mile oval track in Texas! (Where...?, I don't know)

But can you imagine an "Unlimited Circle Track Race" on that thing??? I don't know how long the straights are but on twelve miles they should be pretty long! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Hey, i already had the idea of LSR racing on frozen Wisconsin lakes! Of caourse it would be for lakes modifieds. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Folks shake thier heads when I mention it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

You should see the looks on their faces in Madison when the Murdercycles hit the lakes all "SPIKED" out for the oval's...! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gifhttp://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'd pay to see Lakes Modifieds out there...! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It's done in the east, where it's a little harder to get to Bonneville:

That's the one...! The track is so big the weather has a different forecast on each end of the track! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

They have Dust Devils on one side of the track and a thunderstorm on the other side! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

it wouldn't really be LAND speed racing if you did it on water http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
