I wish this had been brought up a coupla days ago.  I would have ordered it from Amazon.  I'll have to look around and see what I can find.  I prefer Amazon and would have been able to check it out myself beforehand.  But I'll do the best I can.


Ray, sorry to drop this on you like this.  :oops:

When we found out the old tower was shot Sunday, I said I would use my laptop. After several posted that a laptop would probably have issues being "up" for so long each day. That is where the search for a new tower came into play. Jon pinged a guy in Wendover to see if he could help but, as of now, he cannot. I then saw your post about Amazon and it seemed like there was not enough time to get it to you so that is where getting one from SLC came from.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. As I posted yesterday, if you can find one, I'll pickup the tab for cause.

What I'll do is bring one of my desktops (a refurb'ed XP box) with me.  I've gotta test the Audio In, but I'm pretty sure we're ok with it.

Here are a couple pictures from this morning 8-31-13  These are at the 3 mile on the #1 course looking towards floating mountain and looking back at the starting line.  Monte is planning to start dragging tomorrow.

Question, will they put on the WOS web site race vehicles that have pre-entered the race so we can have an idea on who is there?? like SCTA does for Speed Week, thanks

I did the 130 club  in 2011, I'm coming down for the 150 this time. It looks like they removed the requirement for a fire extinguisher, from the 130 and 150 clubs.

might be a good idea to have an extinguisher clamped down and easy access.

Yes, the extinguishers are no longer required for the 130 & 150 Clubs.  I went ahead and mounted one in my car, as it was pretty easy to do.  If you elect to have one, make sure it's VERY securely mounted, as that'll be checked closely in tech.

Wennerberg,

Laptops are cheap. You can get a fully functioning laptop now for $300 that can do anything you want.???? Finding a computer that will work for cheap is like finding a beer at a tavern...

Earlier posts do not recommend lap tops. Although they are now like VCR recorders, throw away consumer products.

I hope this doesn't rain on anyone's parade, but there's a huge weather cell passing over Wendover (and apparently the salt) right about now (09/03/13, 14:00 MDT)
