Oh. Yeah, I guess I've heard they've got an Austin in Texas, but I'd forgot. Do they make anything great, like Spam, in your Austin?

Welcome Matt, new here as well. talked to your brother the other night, need a wrapup on the roadster!

He has been a good inspiration in my hotrodding for 10 years.

I understand they make legislation in Austin, and that the process is more akin to making sausage than delicious, nutritious Spam. But I also hear that they're making both with a little less pork these days.

Welcome aboard, Matt.

Unh, Chris, after the recent election -- I think you'll be seeing far MORE pork than ever - in Washington if not in Austin, MN.

Matt, Google Texas Mile, I would put up a link but dont know how. Ok I just looked and there is a link on the left side of the landracing.com home page.

My name is Charlie Gould from Muskegon, Michigan

I wanted to go to Bonneville all my life and finally went the first time to the 50th in 1998. Once I got there I was surprised to see a number of guys I knew from my hot rodding background. So, I've been back a number of times and met the #974 Studebaker crew and owner/driver and have crewed with them 4 or 5 times. What a great event and what a fantastic group of car guys. I went last in 2009 and can hardly wait to go again.

I joined the board a couple months ago but just never got around to an intro. Thought I ought to so I won't get blasted right away first time I post.

Charlie, just so you don't feel you've done something wrong, I'll be glad to try to figure out how to blast you away. It's not something I usually do - so I'l have to think about it for a while, okay? In the meantime if you've got some favorite touchy points on which I could focus in my upcoming blast -- let me know so I can fine-tune my disagreeability, okay?

Thanks, and welcome to the Forum. You aren't the only troll on the Forum, you probably know, so keep an eye out for folks in your neck of the woods that'll share the fun with an occasional visit or cup of coffee on a slow Saturday morning.

Hello there. My name is Brett Woffinden. I raced for my first time last year in the 130mph club and successfully did that. This year I hope to go a little faster! I race my little 1989 BMW 325i Turbo.

Went to the usfra meeting tonight and got my rule book and met Ray the Rat and some others. Great to be here!

Stainless1 · January 05, 2011, 08:29:39 PM

Brett, if you are staying in 130 club, just be careful to not go too much faster
Oh, welcome to the fun, sorry can't recommend a 12 step program to stop, but I can recommend one to get in deeper...

When I say a little faster, I mean, I want to run in my class on the long course for the record... not that I'm going to break it... I have ALL of my safety stuff to buy, so maybe it wont happen until 2012, but we will see! I still cant figure out what class I am in.. Modified coupe, or something like that...

My specs are:

1989 BMW 325i coupe

1998 2.8l motor swap with turbo

factory body ect ect...

Stan Back · January 06, 2011, 01:03:42 PM

Looks like F/Blown Gas Coupe to me. BV record 202 by a Citroen(sp?)!

But what do I know -- I'm a roadster toad.

dw230 · January 06, 2011, 01:31:46 PM

Actually, bumped to 203.7 by the Road and Track Suzuki last August.
