This is going to be my first year visiting.  I'm bringing an old camper up Friday the 6th and will be staying through the 9th.  Looking forward to meeting some of the regulars here!

If anyone needs an extra hand in the pits I'm cheap (free) labor :cheers:

We've camped at the bend the last few years. Good times. Pro tip, the Pilot truck stop in town has showers for a few bucks.

I think I've still got some of that mud on a pair of old shoes.  I was so happy I was in my 4x4 pickup - I got out of the goo.

Of course there was the time the wind was blowing so hard in the "camping" area that we were all getting the loose skin abraded and metal parts on the trailer were nicely burnished.

The realist or the pessimist?  Mud never hurt anybody but a tow would hurt the pocketbook!

Hope to see you there Jim!  I really appreciate your advice early this year, still in the planning stages and will be taking many notes this week!

This is a whole different type of mud man!!  Nasty stuff.    Anyway, you will have a great time at speedweek.  Come say hi to us in the pits....07 Yamaha R1 (blue)  Number 7198.

There was video this morning on the TV news of a guy kayaking down a Salt Lake City street. Did Bonneville get any rain?

I appreciate the good advice!  I will be paying close attention when I get there.

SLC got hammered with rain, I did hear from someone in wendover this morning that said the salt got some real light sprinkles but nothing that accumulated.
Records or parts, I didn't come all this way not to break something.
