Event Coverage Bonneville 2012 Roll call!

Hope to see you, Trent. Look for me in Inspection on Friday, or if I miss you, I`ll try and make it to the Bbq...Having any raffles or anything? PM me if you are. I have a couple of things I could donate if we are talking a Save the Salt donation.....Are you crewing for McTim again?

 

Yes, I am Tims pit bitch. Had not thought of the raffle, I usually do that sort of thing! DOH!?

 

Welp...Scotty and I'll be there...again.

 

Sounds like there might be a Kiwi or two there. Will try to throw something in the bag for a raffle. 43 days till we get on the plane Woo hoo.

 

Just like old times with the three of us. We are bringing better pit shade this year.

 

Trent, I'll be calling you this evening or next. Things have slowed for me and I've got some free time, now.

Let me know if I can help out in any way. We will be there Thursday night.

 

ill be there and I love bbq.... ill probably be smoking a brisket or 2 in my camp at the bend , just let your nose nose

 

Be nice to meet some other HAMB folk!

 

I'm late to the party here, you crewing for Tim's Ford truck???
If so, I can find you guys easily that way.....

 

Yes I am Doug, be great to finally meet you.

 

Cars will NOT be running on the 10th. That's tech inspection. Racing doesn't start until Sat morning. Just FYI.... I would hate to see a first timer miss the racing by a day.

I'll be there again for sure, hopefully in my '54 this year.

I'm in SLC, so if I can be of any assistance for the HAMB-R-Q let me know, I'm happy to help out.

 

I'll be there with my '26! ...will be my first time

Racing to get the T done so that I can drive it all the way from Portland, Oregon with a friend in his '17 T speedster...

 

Trent and I were talking about you last night Doug, We might have a little photo favor to ask of you if you don't mind riding in the chase vehicle.

 

yes, thanks... we will be in town on friday, probably late afternoon, and then hit the salt on saturday, sunday, and maybe monday for a bit..
thanks again for the heads up

 

Anyone know when HOP UP and the Bean Bandits are doing thier feeds?

 

Hans....coming in from Houston if you need me to drag a motor back.

V

 

Thanks for the PMs offering help! You SLC guys will be hit up for sure.

Anyone have raffle items we can give away for Save the Salt?

 

Once again, thanks for stepping up and offering help. Was nice talking to you. I am off to find some cool items to raffle off for the SAVE THE SALT fund!~

 

i'll be up there for at least a few days, no $ to run the car this year but might still bring something old to put around in.

 

Hey, Guys.......
I usually always carry a fire extinguisher, a trauma kit, tons of extra water, etc. when I travel. Not for me as much as for being out in the wide-open somewhere away from civilization and coming across a traffic accident.
So, it's been bugging me......so I'll ask:
My extinguishers say not to store above 120 degrees.....
I usually carry two 8 pounders.
Now, a locked silver car on the Salt Flats is gonna get mighty toasty.
I never am far from the car because of equipment needs, etc.
BUT......I just can't imagine that there a lots of extinguishers out there and I have never heard of one going KABOOM....
It would just really break me up to not be able to help someone so I'd like to have them.

Has anyone ever put one in a cooler????

So....any thoughts.....?????????????

 

we always have one in the race car trailer out there, and it is always hotter here in okla than there anyway, doubt it would be a problem? but dunno ..

 

Valid concern Doug. I have had racers tell me of firebottles going off inside a car from too much heat, but these were in a hatchback type car. I would think away from direct sunlight would be ok.

 

thanks....again, I've never heard of one blowing up, but I'd hate to be THAT guy

 

Have Canadians been banned yet? Hope not... I'll be back again this year, and I'm bringing my Old Dad with me this time. He's never been, always wanted to see it, his fault I'm a car guy, so this time he's gonna fry his arse along with me.

Can't wait.

 

yup! i'll be in tech all week again. who wants to bring me a cold beverage?!
-rob

 

They might frown on you working with the type of drinks I carry, but we will have something sugary on ice. Hit Tim and I up with teh #416 Unibody pickup.

 

Going to make it pending a few rocker arms being delivered. Its 110 degrees with little humidity here in St. Louis this week, feels like the flats already!!

 

well thats our old bonne buddy the miller roadster, hi guys hope to see ya again this year at the san diego roadster club parking. sam, okla, texoma flyer roadster 389.....

 

I personally have had a 10 pound Halon bottle go off on it's own. It was in my Vega. After a rain storm and the pits were flooded. The bottle was in direct sun light behind the windshield. Since then I throw a white rag over the bottle when it's parked.
