Karl,
Well this will be a our first WOS event, we are actually going to try and make the ElMirage just to spectate or help out on the 11th first then cruise up that night.

We will be running a D/STR with the number 534 so if you see us say hello, and these next two weeks are going to go by way to fast lots of things for us to do...

Cool, welcome to WOS, I will be sure to keep an eye out for ya! I will be in a Geo Metro, car # 815 I/GC.

See you on the salt!
Clay

Hi all, in response to Rfros and Iamflagman
All 130 Club and 150 Club numbers are assigned at registration.  130 Club numbers have a T in front of them and 150 Club numbers have an X in front of them.  These numbers are unique to these two classes and expire at the end of the event.  Many have called in advance and I have assigned them their numbers. 
130 Club does not need to list 'crew members'.  You can get your daughter an event pass when you complete your registration.
Yes, 130 and 150 Club are just USFRA Club 'time only' categories.  LSR classes meet the SCTA rule book safety and class requirements. 
You have pre-registered, you still need to get a technical inspection.  Proceedure is to show up, set up a pit area, get in line to tech, once a vehicle has passed tech go over to registration and complete the paper work.  At registration you will get your entrance stickers, any extra 'all event' passes you require, drivers arm bands, etc...  If you are a new SCTA class/LSR Class vehicle (as in everybody except 130 and 150 Club) you will need to go over to registration and purchase your log book and fill it out.  The inspectors will apply the sticker, that is in the book, to a visible, non-removable part of the chassis or roll cage.
Hope this helps.  See everybody in about a week.

    Well, it's been a long Winter in Montana, and the Cat is in the bag, so to speak. Salt Cat ll is in the trailer and we are headed out Saturday morning.

OK, it's on.
Been fighting a flaky fuel pump, but that is done.
New treads, turbo, intercooler, sprockets and chain.
Same damn fool riding.

Thanks to all my sponsors for making this happen.
It COULD NOT have happened without you!

And to my crew; Team Graybeards,
Once a year, but always better!

First trip to the salt flats. Leaving tomorrow afternoon. Packing up the 79 Trans Am, 1500 miles and hope to be there on Tuesday. Been dreaming about this for years. Decided what the heck. Hope to keep my gas epenses under $1000. 383 stroker doesn't get the best gas mileage. I do have overdrive that should help. Can't wait to meet everyone and always open for your input. Going to run the 130 and see what happens. Look for me white T/A black cowl hood.

KERRY AT BONNEVILLE. Didn't  make 2012,2013,2014. ECTA in Ohio 2012 trans went out and 2013 fuel problems . Still trans and fuel problems. Finally all looks good.

Thanks!  We're excited to go after the V4F/BGR and BFR records.  We'll see if the old Dodge can hold together with 10# of boost.
