Event Coverage Bonneville 2012 Roll call!

Last September on 80 west my speedo registered 75 and the big Packard blew past me and the exhaust note sounded just off idle.
Cool experience.

 

We are trying!!

 

I'm coming out this year for the first time. JC

 

Definately going to Bubs.

 

We'll be there this year with the Belly Tanker driven by myself and Bob Owens (Flat Top Bob) of Texas. Crew Chief Keith Floyd (Texas), Keith Gauthier and Brad Oates both from Toronto, Ontario area will be joining us as well....

Stop by and say hello....

 

I will be there wrenching on the Hot Rod Hoodlums # 1429 Rear-engine Modified Roadster (engine size TBA). Hard to miss the faded dayglo and silver car that doesn't look like everyone else's. Stop by and say hi in the pits or in the line. I'm the old fart that looks like he knows what he's doing (the other one, who really DOES know, is our engine builder, Keith Dorton). vic

 

Lovde to see Bob again and meet you for the first time. My car will not be done so good luck on chasing the Hudson Boys record!

 

I'll be there for Saturday and Sunday... maybe I'll sneak out Friday night??? Look forward to meeting more of you all.

 

Yeah, come camp with us at teh Bend, we solve teh Worlds problems 12 ounces at a time and I will smuggle some real beer across the curtain!

 

I will have to look you guys up. JC

 

Dorton knows what he is doing for sure.

 

Really looking forward to Speed Week.
Roadster is far enough along now that it will actually make the trip this year.

Hope to see/meet a bunch of you there!

that sounds good, im flying in thursday and we will have a trailer at the bend as well as a room at the nugget, ill stay tuned for this deal

 

Got my $1,000.00 already set aside to pay the room ransom.

Pretty excited about seeing a couple of friends running for the first time...

 

If there is to be a Friday night BBQ, I need some help and commitments. We/Vagabonds do the feed at Mokan but there is a large group there every year. There might only be myself and General Gow, and McTim, my newest honorary Vagabond from the wrong State . BTW, Mark, bring Tims $40 bucks...........

IF, I say IF there is enough interest, I will fill a cooler with brats when I head West. I know ther are lots of happenings in the evenings. We do not have to do this. It is up to yoose,. I enjoy entertaining and cooking for the masses.

 

I think I might try to go... maybe.

 

Nate, this BBQ thing might be our chance for our Save the Salt Fundraiser, easier than walking the pits!?

 

At this point it's possible. If I make it, I'll meet you all at the Bend.

 

Com'on Nate. Make the effort. Don't leave it on your bucket list forever. : - )

 

I'll be there in this is it'll make it!! Have not been in 2 years...it's been 2 years too long!

 

Roadster is looking good Chris!

 

Good idea Tman. I always try to help the cause , that would be a great place to raise some funds...

 

In reference to my note to Beef Stew. We hatched a plan a few months back to walk the pits and pass the hat for Save the Salt. Since he and I will both be VERY busy it might be easier to do it as mentioned at a get together. I would love to hand a wad of cash over to StS during the weekend!

 

Count me in on adding to the donation.

 

Hell, I am counting on you to help put this thing on!

If brats seem like to much work, maybe Ice Cream? BYOB chasers?

 

Ran 197 last year on the short course. Too damned close to 200 to not go back this year.
