Event Coverage Bonneville 2010: a 200mph Club short story

Great story Hans! Sounds like lot of fun....and tons of excitement! Have you read about the two norwegian teams that are currently building belly tanks? I think at least one of them plans to take their creation to Bonneville!

 

What a great story. Thanks for taking the time to share it with all of us. I felt like we were kicking back in the shop listening to your tale.

 

Awesome story Hans, now you can help me with my project! Houston is becoming a red hat town

Hey Hans! Have you taken the hat off yet? If it were mine I'd have it surgically attached to my head!! : - ) Congrats again.

Thanks Bill...yeah, still haven't found anybody over here that knows what it is...guess I just have to kep wearing it..

 

Great story Hans - I'm glad to have played a small part in your success. Red hat story - Joanie and I went on a cruise the week between Speedweek and World of Speed. The ship had 6038 passengers and 1500 crew. I wore my hat and/or shirt every day and not one person asked me about it or what it takes to earn one.

Dan, I think the key word in your post is "cruise". No one every got a red hat by cruisin'. Those that know don't have to ask. Those that don't will never ask because they will never understand.

 

Bill,

The 'cruise' I referred to was actually a cruise! On a ship kinda thing, water all around, 34 bars, etc. And yes, those that don't experience the satisfaction of a record at Bonneville will never know and maybe dismiss.

"34 bars" and you're still able to type? I'm impressed!

 

Thanks for the story.

 

I remember how you were when you got your RED hat.At 9opm You were still talking a mile aminuter
Only those people that have been involved at Bonneville will know the true feeling & just a few ,like yourself with the Red hat knows the rest of the story
