The quality of the surface in Bolivia was way beyond my

expectations. There were a substantial number of people

there and no medical incidents related to the altitude.

Bonneville was a big step in the 1940's and Australia

has also not been easy. But this Bolivia event will no

doubt be repeated. There are people that still have a

burning desire to compete and Bolivia is a 2018 challenge

with great rewards.  Hang on tight. People who have

been there will be going back and bringing others with

them. Australia and Bolivia. Don't decide that there is

no place to run.  Both are available. It's just a bit different

getting there.  No doubt many vehicles will go by air and

a few by boat. Bonneville Speed Week 1949 was fed with

single  axle trailers and flat towed roadsters. Now it's easier

to go by air.
