World Finals 2026

[rockracer]

Last chance to make runs for 2026. World Finals.
Who's going ?

[Elmo Rodge]

That is my plan.    No car, of course.
Wayno

[rockracer]

See you there. Were you able to sell the car?
I believe someone was asking about awhile ago.

[Elmo Rodge]

Not yet. Was hoping to talk with some people this weekend. Been kinda sideetracked.   

[rockracer]

SCTA dragging their feet. Make a damn choice.

Well it looks like the SCTA is moving forward working the track to get it dried out. 
I will not be there with the Bockscar... but I will arrive Saturday to pick up our chase car and go to the races to help friends if they need it. 

I have a pre-entry to sell if anyone needs one... if not I will sell it back to the SCTA

We were ready to go with the liner but when I saw that storm roll over the salt I pulled the plug here. A few hours later it rolled through here with thunder hail & heavy rain. There was a time when the salt crust was thicker that this wouldn't be an issue but those days are long gone at Bonneville. 1/2" at best of wet salt crust on wet brine dirt is never going to dry out enough in a few days at this time of the year to be worth a-F to run on. It will be messy at best & probably dangerous. Today we pumped the fuel out of the engine & winterized it. I feel bad for my crew who had made time in their busy schedules to come out & bust their asses for me & my crazy dream liner that was finally ready to feel some big numbers. I hope you know just how much I appreciate you guys, I couldn't do this without you.

Rolled in here about 8pm. Saw some storm clouds fading away on the way in. Smells/ looks like it just rained. Bend in the road, flat's area looks dry but slicker than snot, had to 4wd my butt back to the road. Camping  at the fork for now.

Update...... The water has moved to the starting line and access road. Most have turned around. They put it on hold for a bit.

Racing will start tomorrow at Bonneville.

Good luck to all that run.

[PorkPie]

I really enjoyed the way they put us on the Salt. Much better than driving through the water at the end of the road and beyond.
