Congratulations Delvene.

It's not as if it's all new to you.

Hope it all goes well.

sponsorship can be a blessing and a curse. This year NRHS is once again the official water supplier to the event and the sponsor of the 201 club.  I am sure Delvene will do what is best for the event and I proud to be associated with this event again in 2014!! .

I'm going to step  back for just a moment and ask if I've offended anyone with my post from the other day (when i mentioned the lack of mention of Denis Manning and his work to get the Bub's event going).  Evidently I ruffled some feathers by allowing it to be perceived that I was giving short shrift to those still involved with the motorcycle-only event.  I think that's what was said in the PM's I got.  Whatever I did say -- please understand one and all that I did not mean to imply anything less than sincere approbation for all.  Race on! :cheers:

I didn,t see anything wrong I to was curious as to what was going on, yes maybe mention of what the changes on the website would help.

Jon,
I did not think your questions were offensive at all. I was wondering the same things myself. I hope Denis Manning will be there as I look forward to seeing him and talking to him every year. It would be nice if there was some sort of explanation as to why there are all the changes, but if they don't want to explain, that is their prerogative.

If BUB did not want to sponsor the event this year, I am very glad Delvene did. Thanks Deliciate whoever you are!

First things first:  I looked it up in my paper dictionary (Not Real Big) -- and it's not there.  No huge surprise.  So I dug further and discovered that "deliciate" is an obsolete word having gone out of fashion around the turn of the 19th/20th century.

My spelling checker also says it's a misspelled word, but I've always taken it for granted that the folks that put words into the spell checker are fairly ignorant of words that aren't in the lexicon of daily use.  When in doubt - try looking up a word by yourself (as you did, Chris).  I eventually found some information online.

Deliciate:  To take one's pleasure, to luxuriate, to indulge in feasting, to delight one's self.

AS SIMPLE AS 1-2-3

1. Delvene has purchased the event.
 
2. It is moving forward with a new name and logo.

3. Same location, dates, and workers; which includes
the same old bib overall wearing technical steward.

I can't speak for others, but for myself I'm very excited.

PRAY FOR GREAT WEATHER, AND GREAT SALT!!  :-D

P.S.
"Deliciate" it is one of those unused words; which can still be found in the dictionary.
"To delight one's self. To revel."
And, in this case, to happily revel in the world of motorcycle landspeed racing
at the greatest place on earth. The Bonneville Salt Flats.

See everyone in August.

Over and Out.

Good for Delvene!  She is a great person and I wish her all the success in the world!!

Drew,
I know the new site but there is no phone number for Delvene on the new sight, hence the reason I posted here.  I e-mailed yesterday but have not received a response so not sure how often it is checked.
