Getting ready for Bonneville(rebuild)

[AJR192]

Hey guys, good luck to you this meet and I sure hope to see a different colored hat or two on a couple of fellas.

AJR192, come by again this year so we can remember what you look like.  We should have more time this year to B.S.  Well you never know, but last year was a thrash to get there and a thrash to fix problems.  There shouldn't be any major issues this year so come on by.  We will be setting up our pit on Fri.  Not sure if we will tech first or put up our shade first?  We will be on the track side, not too far from the entrance.   

[AJR192]

I'll do it Troy. See you guys there.

Thanks for the weather update.  On the other hand I was assuming most people on the forum new that it took longer than 2 hours to get from California to Wendover.

[AJR192]

Maybe driving the camaro it would be 2 hours. Try it.......

Were going over 88, first time that way.  We have friends that live over that way and said it is a pretty east drive for the most part.  We will hit the 80 near Fernly just east of Reno.

leaving early AM Friday.

We're outa here in a few minutes, just wanted to say good luck to everyone racing and go fast.  I will try to update this diary on my phone or possibly a casino computer if we get a room after the weekend.  See you all there.

We ran into Rex Schimmer in Winnemucka, and he was freezing his but off.  He's riding in a bucket roadster  trying to dry off from the rain.  We missed most of the hard rain and the last we saw of Rex he was ripping out of a pilot truck stop headed for the bend in the road.  Heard the wind is blowing like crazy right now, but also heard a lot of cars were inspected.  We are about two hours from wendover in elko for a little din din.  B there soon.

It's still windy as all get out -- but it's a tiny bit better than earlier.  Not so good, though, if you want to potty on the Salt -- I hear that a bunch of toilets got blown over (and yes, they were staked down) and some even had the doors blown off.  Great, hey?

So I called the servie company and left a message (it was after business hours) requesting that they send a damage control team in the morning when they come out to "service" the units. 

Therefore I say unto you all:  Go before you get to the Salt Friday morning.  It may be a while 'til all's back in working condition.
