     1990 the photographer and model were plying their trade in the staging line. The photographer said his wife was going to kill him, not because of the model but because business was slow and the model got a flat rate not piece work.
    Once you get around to it note the ground effects tunnel built with side plates. This is also known as the year of the big spin.
Unless it's crazy, ambitious and delusional, it's not worth our time!

The only thing I noticed was the high speed racing model.

Volunteer roadblock at Land's End! Yes, you need your stinkin badge! I'm your Dream Keeper, I protect your dream on the asphalt so you can chase your dream on the salt!

21 years ago ... the model in the photo is probably a grandmother by now.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy $hit, what a ride!"

I'll take soggy salt, a salt bath and a chance to spectate / participate at a LSR event over work any day... Land's End "Salt Lake" looking towards Wendover after Sunday evening's wind and rain storm at Speed Week 2011. Shot early in the morning of 15th August 2011 at the Bonneville Salt Flats by Jim Kelsall on a Canon PowerShot G10.

The Salt was a little soggy but record back-up runs did take place that morning. It just goes to show that if you are there, you might race, if you aren't, you won't...

Happy day dreaming...
