Now Lars---Here's to you ENJOYING your  BAD case of SALT FEVER

[HotRodVon]

Hello all-  I've been really enjoying the private meet reports, so I thought I would join and say hi.  I still consider myself a newbie landspeed racer even though I've been runnin a GMR for 4 years now.  Haven't obtained a record yet, but I'm still havin fun, making changes and going faster each time.

Welcome, Keven. 

Is that the 515 car?

Lars, welcome to this site.

Thanks Freud!

Do your friends have any parts for 4 cyl Indians?

Donno, but I'll ask.

It sure would be a smoother ride if your salt bike had some rear suspension.

Yeah, I know, but it's supposed to be uncomfortable and noisy;
will make me want, that much stronger, to get fast through the run

.-)

Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome!

You're a lucky guy, off to a great start. That's one of the nicest bikes I've seen here.

Thanks!

Love the tank

It's quite beautiful, isn't it!
It's a replica of an one-year-only cast aluminum Indian tank.
It's made by a friend who made the mould himself.

Now Lars---Here's to you ENJOYING your  BAD case of SALT FEVER

Thanks!

Cheers!

Hello All,

My name is Harry Hoffman Jr.
1st time at B-ville 1976
1st pass on the salt 1979
200mph club 1988
300mph club 1991
Still have 3 records.
Have only been out to the salt twice since 1997...just got back last weekend from WOS.
Good to see a lot of people I have not seen in a long time.
Bonneville is always in your blood no matter what you are doing.

Be safe!

Harry welcome to the site, good to see you on board, like they say Salt Fever is forever

[Freud]

Harry, do you know the location and condition of the 360 roadster?

FREUD

[HotRodVon]

Mike-

Yes,  The 515 car is mine....and my Dad's-

Keven

Freud; I thought Charlie told me that he had it back and was getting ready to run it again.

[Freud]

I know they got it from Harms and Flynn but I didn't know what was happening with it

or who was doing the engine install..

Great car, great racers and always nice to see it back on the salt.

Thanks for the comeback, Rich.

FREUD

[RichFox]

I understood the Dodge or maybe a DeSoto power.

[High Speed]

Harry, do you know the location and condition of the 360 roadster?

FREUD

It's at Charlie's shop. Very close to running.
Next year for sure. It will have a blown De Soto and Tim will drive.
Charlie was talking about driving too.

[RichFox]

So what was up with your Dads roadster at WoS?

[Freud]

Thanks Harry. Markleys were some of the earliest people I met on the Salt....years ago.
I think it's somewhat hollow without Bones and maybe Charlie will step up and be part of
the "hard core" from the past.

Thanks again for the reply.

Coming to Gas Up Saturday?

New to the boards here but always flet the salt flats were where real men went to race.

Ran some 1/8 mile AHRA stuff back decades ago.

I have been a fan of the orphan Mercury Meteors since high school.
Current plans and wife is all for it!!!
Build the 63 Meteor with a 347 SBF and a Tek 6 speed, Mustang II adjustable front end and try to break the 150 mph before we turn 60 years young have 8 years to get the car built! We dont really car about class that the car would fall into, just want the worlds fastest Meteor!!!

Spent five years in Germany in the Army and darn sure miss the Autobahns!!!!!!

So for now have to settle for the curves of north Arkansas Ozarks

Later
John the Meteor man
