    Lucky, when it's time, it's time.:)

    On the road in 2-3 days tops. Gonna' be a long few days.
    Anybody traveling from the NW 140 to 80 ? I'll be in the rusty model A pickup, hopefully chucking it along in the fast lane (slow lane is cool too)

    I'm planning on heading out from Ashland,OR Wed. night or Thursday morning.

    as Mel T-T-Tillis would say " B-B-B-o-o-oneevilleee woooo whoooo!!!!!"

    We can only hope Jangleguy wrote a fresh diddy for us all at the bend.:D

    Has anybody heard how the salt is? I know as of almost two weeks ago it was good, any updates? How about weather for next week? I'm no longer counting down days, now I'm on hours.

    Just got back from Cheyenne Wy.Drove up there and met EJ and the boys for breakfast as I won,t be at Bonneville to crew for them.Now I,m really pissed.
    The roadster is loaded for bear so hopefully they have a good week.
    Wasted Willie was also with them with another Ardun in his roadster.This time injected on gas(463 Hp on the dyno).
    Good luck to everyone racing and be safe.

    hit Reno from Seattle yesterday after a hellsih 30 hour drive in our A-Team van. Were set to race a twin engine Suzuki Titan but didn't finish it in time. Mechanical difficulties now with the van abound but we should be OK, be there this weekend see you HAMBers there!

    I'm leaving from Carson City NV. this morning. The report from the SCTA website says: "A very active weather system is moving thru the area with high winds but as yet no rain. Weather is predicted to improve this weekend. Inspections and setup continue on schedule." Weather for Wendover for the weekend is reported as: Friday, thunderstorms and wind with a high of 72, Saturday-74 with AM showers and Sunday looks nice at 82 and sunny...hope it stays dry and we miss the storm.

    okay since the 2 other guys going with me are pretty broke, getting a room seams out of the question, so i might be sleeping in trailers

    I might need to rent a shower from someone, if anyone bails from a room or has extra beds call me 916-995-3052

    Try Motel 6 in Wells, NV
    Just checked online weather and only 68 in Wendover, with lite wind. Tonite and morning high winds and possible Thunderstorms. Have not seen it this cool this time of year for a while. Hope lots of racing got done today.
