Ok all you Bonneville peeps, the hotest new thing going on out here in Wendover, which is the closest you can get to the that wonderful racing place called the Bonneville Salt Flats, is "The Bonneville Club". Comming soon to Wendover Utah............its very cool.

I'm reminded of the song "Green Door".

Are you permitted to clue the rest of us in, or would it no longer be a club?

Kidding, I'm sure Mike would love you to partake.......    8-)

Racing is just a series of "Problem Solving" events that allow you to spend money & make noise...

Actually, Michael, they had me at "Bar".

I love the idea, but geez, I've got to question the viability.  Even with condo fees, membership fees and conference center fees, can the rest of the facility's incomes keep it viable?

On the other hand, I've thought of buying a duplex in Wendover - much to Kate's chagrin - so maybe it's not so far fetched.

I guess there was nothing in Talladega until they built Talladega . . .

I don't think this will work for us, I didn't see an area for tents.   :|

If one were to buy one, would there be any restrictions on subletting?
