The 2016 Bonneville NW Reunion will once again be held at the SHILO INN property at Portland Oregon Airport.

February 20, 2016

https://www.facebook.com/events/550439245114699/

To contact me use fotofreud@aol.com.    Fone  425-422-6944

The doors will open at 5:00PM. The Saturday speaker will be Lee Kennedy, SCTA and Bonneville official.

Costs and reduced room rates will be announced around January 1, 2016

Tell your friends.  We will make up for not having any events on the Salt these past two years.

Team Go Dog, Go! will be there.  Make sure there is a lot of food.  This is great news, Freud.

Among other things food seems to be a great feature.

You are welcome to make as many trips thru the line as You want.

Look forward to seeing all of You.

It's too early for me to announce the reduced room fees and banquet costs.

I'm working on it.

I've been there 3 years in a row and built 2 LSR bikes in 2 years (but still haven't raced on the salt). Can I come?

Any excuse to get out of Milwaukee in February is a major plus.

Have 'em put a vegetarian selection on the feed trough for Kate.

Been wondering about all the Wishes for a place to Run?

Friday night, Feb 19, 2016 Mike Akatiff will fill us in.

He needs a track as much as anyone in his quest for

400 MPH with the Ack Attack motorcycle streamliner.

He has quietly been investigating all possibilities, including

Bolivia. He will give us the facts.  So if you just know for

certain that the Alvord Dry Lake has been overlooked or that

noone is doing anything about running behind Floating Island

come and get the facts. The special room rate will apply to Friday

night as well as the remainder of the weekend.

Midget......both Washington and Oregon have unique

ingredients for salads. I'm certain we can keep

Mrs. Midget happy.

Midget, I think Oregon is a smoke your salad state... lots of vegetarians  :roll:

One Run, you haven't had racing expenses for 2 years.... you should have plenty of money  :-D :cheers:

Doc, I'll be there, maybe I can talk Linda into a trip... I'll take her by Drury's to keep her from thinking I have too much junk  :-o

See y'all there

I know you probably have the Shilo Inn all booked but for the next year think about the World of Speed Museum in Wilsonville - near Portland, OR. It is a new museum dedicated to racing, including land speed racing.
http://www.worldofspeed.org/ . I have not been there yet, but will be going soon. They have a lot of racing exhibits and say they want to host events.

   The Director of the World of Speed Museum near Portland is Tony Thacker. A man well versed in LSR and Hot Rods in general.  Prior to this gig he was a large part of the NHRA Museum and before that was involved with So Cal Speed Shop's Bonneville efforts with MG and Chevrolet. 
   Even more important - Tony is a really great guy.  Pat Kinne

That's why I try to avoid Colorado - too much time at the salad bar, you miss an exit, and the next thing you know, you're hitch hiking with an empty gas can to Wayno's . . .

Tony Thacker is no long associated with the museum. Too much time away from his home and family

had to be remedied. The original plan to have a working kitchen at the museum were changed. I will

be at the museum this coming week to make arrangements for a special tour if enough are interested.

I will soon list suggestions of places and events to keep you busy if You come early or stay late.

One thing was announced by the rental car companies. One Run's place is off limits.

This will be a fun event. Attitude adjustment goes in high gear upon arrival.
