200 Club Tattoo
« on: March 28, 2015, 09:19:12 PM »
This is a completely random thread, I am just curious.

In 2011 I believe, I was at Bonneville with a couple of friends. At one point we were in the elevator at the Nugget because we were young and didn't want to pay for showers and we were going to poach the pool to clean off. In the elevator there was a couple, older than us, we were all about 26 at the time. The guy said " Hey, check this out" and showed us a 200 club emblem tattooed on the inside of his forearm. I am just curious who it was. Seeing that tattoo has inspired me to try to get in to the 200mph club myself. It's a possibility for this year depending how speed week goes and if it happens I plan on getting a tattoo as well to celebrate.

Does anyone now who the mystery elevator rider may be?  Thanks

Hmm no, I don't think it was Lee. The tattoo was on the inside of his forearm, sort of near the inside of your elbow if that helps. Totally a miniscule thing ting but I have been wondering who it was for a few years. Wish I got his name.

Thanks, I am moving forward on it more every day. Hopefully that hat is in my future.

I think your looking for Roger Beckman AA/ CBGC. BC Racing,  Red Camaro. He has a nice 200 Tattoo on his forearm.

Mine's on the point of my right shoulder.  Too bad Nancy didn't get into the Club (201.913 on a 205 minimum) -- she'd said she'd get the tattoo on her butt.  That one would be worth inspecting (the tattoo, that is). :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
