The people who join BNI get a mailing tube with a rule book, poster, Bonneville pit pass, Speedway news, a patch & decal, etc.....
All for $75 IIRC........ heck of a deal.    8-)

Nancy's tube arrived in Skandia, Michigan, today.  then there's mine -- still out there, someplace, among the stars. . .

But at least we got one.  I need to sew the fabric patch onto my jacket before we head out west - and the way I sew means that I need at least a week or so.  Maybe I'll cheat and have Nancy do the seamstress work. :roll:

ronnieroadster,

We have had this conversation before. Joining the SCTA does not make you a BNI member. To enter a vehicle and race at Bonneville you must be a BNI member. The tube is for BNI members.

Dan, to clarify. To race at Bonneville you must join BNI if you are not an SCTA Member.  :wink: Wayno

I was all excited Wednesday when a big tube came in the mail but it was only a lithograph that Joline won on board the cruise ship.  :x
