Introduce Yourself

NOW that is a plan!!  Will take awhile to get to that level.

Howdy!

Cj here...Current road racer with some interest in getting into a starter class using a prebuilt car to get my feet wet.  Thank you for the forum...

I will check the rules and classes and see what will work best for me.  (need to do research and see if I can run a street class or ?? to get started to see if it is somthing I may want to do. Maybe a small sedan to get started.  (already have a truck and a trailer that will fit a car about 14 feet long)

Will be lurking for awhile... (While I build a budget)

Slim,  I will definately be at speedweek again.  Guess I'll have to harrass you at Salt Talks so you know I'm not a figment of your imagination

you can start almost immediately, drive your street car to World of Speed in Sept, enter it in the 130 club and start running.  Cheap and easy way to get started racing at Bonneville.  Rules online at USFRA website.

Hello Im Wayne and new to loggin on this site. Ive been to the salt a few times (world of speed 08 and '09) Im making the trip out to Speedweek (my 1st) this Friday and camping at the bend.

Ive herd about a impromtu carshow at the nugget , Is this Friday or Saturday?
Id love to get some pic's and footage.

I'll be arriving in my (not stock) Chevette.(yea) Its been out there last year and will make its final voyage before a complete teardown . The racers out ther were really nice and I cant wait for this year.

The impromptu car show, as you call it, will be maximum on Saturday night, and Friday will probably have a good turnout, too.  It's mostly the hot rodders and rat rod folks -- and lots of racers walking around and looking at all the stuff on display.  Parking your street vehicle will be dang near impossible right there -- in the lots at the Stateline (or whatever that casino is called), so plan on walking at least from the lot across the street at the Montego Bay.  We stay at the Quality Inn and walk the couple of blocks to the "show".

The busiest times at the show are after dark, so if you're shooting photos -- either have the camera set for high ISO or have your flask with you.  And the sow is where there's usually at least one guy with a gas-powered drink blender making margaritas for donations or five bucks or something.  I don't know if his blender is like the one the Bean Bandits used to run (I think it was them - someone correct me if I'm wrong).  Theirs ran on nitro.  Interest use of "spare" fuel. . .

And that's what's contributed to the lack of rooms nowadays.

if you are wondering why your photos are a little blurred, you might not want to disregard that part of the suggestion

Hello Everyone,

Don't have much to say just interested in things that go fast.  I hope to someday visit and possibly compete at Bonneville in a car that I build, nothing yet but you have to start some where. 

Thanks

 8-)First time on the salt was 57, a 17 year olds dream come true.So here I am 70, fed up with pro drag racing, still in love with fuel altereds but very impressed by the dedication and true love of this LSR bunch. Thank you for the hard work Mr. Rat and Slim and your better halves . Spence Sharp (AKA snaptoo)

Hello everyone! Just a casual observer who is quickly catching the bug. Just what I need. It's seems every hobby or passion I pick-up is much more expensive than the last.

Hello everyone,

I'm Andy. Live in the UK but visit AZ each summer. Just missed Speed Week this year but next year for sure.

Don't have enough room for a speed record car or bike so I'm doing the next best thing. I've built an electric-powered model car and I'm hoping to break the current record for its class ( 91.2mph ). This thing is rated at about 9KW, so just over 10hp. That's plenty in a vehicle that weighs 10lbs! Our Speed Championships are on September 11th & 12th and I'm aiming for 100+mph. The absolute world record is 163 but mine's classed a Monster Truck! Here's a pic.



If you're interested, here's how it started..
