Planning to arrive at "the bend" on Saturday. Only missed Speedweek once since 2003! It's sure addictive!-Southfork

It was nice and dry there last year after the rain. Good option if "the bend" is soupy or you wanna' be close to town.

We're gonna make it but not rolling in the '46.
Going to do a little off of the road traveling in the Toyota on the way if all goes well.

 

hey, see guys there

 

Hahahahaha. And so it begins!

 

A friend of mine was passing through the area last week, he drove to the end of the blacktop, and said there was at least 1 foot of water on the salt! Lets hope it gets dried out.

 

This is the salt repot from the SCTA-BNI website. It's pretty common for water to pool at the end of the road, but the starting line is a couple miles away so it usually dries first.

July 16, 2013

Salt Report - July 16 - As of early this evening the courses were dry and the only puddle was at the end of the road. The rain of 4 days ago has all but dried up. Courses still look good. Another storm cell went through later this evening. Temperatures are in the upper 90s for the next week. Shouldn't be a problem.

 

We're in.. Not taking the Bonneville Bathtub up this year, giving the ol girl a rest. Will be cruisin roudn in my blue 59 chevy wagon though and campin at the bend, stop by and say hi. Lookin forward to seeing some good runs, catchin up with familiar faces, and catchin up with a couple of mates from Perth!

 

From all accounts the salt should be perfect this year! Will we see a 400?

 

We'll be there with a OT car powered by Merc flathead. Runs XF/BGALT

 

Nice looking mill! Good luck on taking that Bean Bandit record!

 

I've gotta ask- what OT car is that in?!

 

1985 Mustang LX with 8 of your best French stroker rods in there somewhere. i bought them last year to go with some Ross pistons I already had and a Merc crank I'd bought from Jack Slaymaker (sp) years ago.

 

I'm going to Speed Week for my first time this year, going to bring my two young boys, 6 & 4 years old. They will likely only last a few hours on the salt but were gonna go anyways and enjoy some "Guys" time away from the girls in the house. Look forward to seeing these cars I enjoy reading about on the HAMB in person.

My full time job doesn't start til August now so I guess I will be making a last minute run to the salt again this year. Unfortunately won't get to stay too long as the wife and son are coming too. Should be there for Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday and maybe Monday though.

 

Spoke to Davo today. He said you spoke highly of me.

Had a look at the Flower of Scotland website. Very cool. My wife's grandfather was from Scotland.

Is there anybody from Northern California headed out to Bonneville this year that wouldn't mind a photographer taging along, you can see some of my work at www.theredlineprojects.com

 

Father/Son trip #3 this year. Pops is rolling from VT with The Boners and I'm flying with The Fuckers. Totally stoked to have lots of salt-virgin SFCC brothers there this year. This will be the second season Dad is one of the drivers of The Dark Side car.

 

The "Silver Bastard" will be out again with the CDLU 8080;} chug a lug. Working on more streamliner sidecar motorcycle records. This year we have a secret engine.

Good luck to all making the journey. Be safe. Stop by and visit.

 

Kenny will be there going for his own record in XF/GR

 

Been a while Tim, I will make sure to say howdy!

 

Been out there on and off since '93 or so.
Raced '05, '06, '07. Spectated since.
Back to racing this year. Happy about that.
Staying at the bend.
Pitting with LSR So-Cal (next to Jim Dunn's orange Detroit Diesel Toyota).

 

Yikes!! I busted the number 2 intake valve spring in the engine in my Ranchero!! I have a bit of a thrash ahead of me if I'm gonna make Speedweek this year!! Wish me luck!!!

 

We will be there with the roadster.

 

Hoping to get there again this year.

Hi Todd,

I'll be dropping by your pits for sure. Not sure if Norm told you, but I was hoping to help out for a day.
