This will be my first trip to Bonneville and speedweek. I will be arriving Saturday morning before the cars start running, and will stay until Thursday. I know there is some "goings on" during week when the racing is done for the day. I would like to get as much of the experience as I can. Anyone have a detailed list with times and location of the extra events. Car shows, BBQ, discussion (BSing) groups.

Hey Pal, just get there and you will stumble onto whatever is happening.

This is not a PGA event.

There is no schedule and no where else to go.

Don't miss the Rat Rods -- you know -- hot rods like they used to be -- trailered in and dangerous.

Just follow the crowds. On the salt it's pretty obvious. Tour the pits. Hang out at the five mile to watch the fast stuff.
In town the action is in the parking lots. Everybody is wrenching and lots of other stuff to see. Sleep optional.

Non-racing stuff? Who cares?
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.
