Event Coverage 2022 Bonneville Speed Week August 6-12

Go for it Jeff. It's lots of fun and you guy will have a blast. We will be there camping at the KOA. Angie and all three boys will be there.

 

We will be there in the middle with a 2006 bfalt 9320 mustang that ran 262.144 but hurt a motor. We will have hamb friendly 1935 ford 5 window coupe as our goof around car. Stop by and have a cold one

 

Well, put in for the week off from work so I guess I am committed. Me and the boys will be headed that way Thursday of this week.

 

Awesome. See you all there!

“SEE YA ON THE SALT!”

Here is the layout of the 2 courses for this year.

 

I'm headed out in the morning. Will be camping near the bend......rain showers/thunderstorms forecast for Friday, we'll see what happens, but I will be away from the mud flats just in case.
If you see my yellow coupe<<< stop by or flag me down. Always great to meet HAMBers.
See you on the salt!

 

Loaded up and ready to go, see ya there

 

Locked and loaded , leaving in the morning probably stop in LaGrande Oregon and get to Wendover midday Friday.
The Vanguard camper in my avatar is where we'll be staying....I'll try not to get stuck in the mud.

 

Why do you guys stay in the mud flats when you can stay at the "ballpark" for free and not get stuck -- plus have free porta-potties?

 

The wrestling.

 

And the loud fireworks !

 

Livestream audio link, you can listen to the cars and times.
Begins Saturday afternoon.

For those of us that won't be able to take it all in, in person.

 

Stan,
We all don't know what you know... Where's the "ball park" ??

 

Just a couple 100 feet past the Auto Parts store going out of on the other side of the road. It's got a street going thru it and curbs and gutters and is hard-packed dirt and gravel.

 

Not anymore. BLM put the kibosh on that several years ago. Lets just say they have become a little heavy handed. We helped some 10-12 year old out of a pickle when the Rangers were after the "criminals" shooting off bottle rockets

 

Are you talking the proposed museum site? We did our HAMBbq and Save the Salt Raffle there a few years back

 

There were people there last year, no clue as to the state of it now. Just wish I was there period.......

Probly

 

Usually are a few folks there

 

. . . quiet, unstuckable, calm, can walk to town . . .

Seems like everything the Bend in the Road Gang hate.

 

The Bend has been quite quiet for the last few years, BLM made sure of that

 

Rite!

They haven't fixed the stuckability, tho, rite?

 

Only about 1200 more miles and we will be there.

 

I got in last night. Headed out to the salt shortly .

 

The salt is a little wet but looks good! Hopefully anymore showers go around us.

 

SCTA facebook site reported this morning that salt is dry smooth & firm

 

Still on our way. Stopped for the night just north of Denver about 3:00 am and are fixing to jump back on the road.
