Jim, I just read through your thread here, Might I say a couple things from another Newbie ?
First , I have to say all these guys who write back to you have a real wealth of knowledge, I love reading both
your questions and their answers .
Building in your kitchen, I bet there wasnt one guy here that read that and thought , Thats Weird !
On Reducing your Kids Inheritance , I say Hell Yes ! You earned it, You get to spend it, And when they find out as you said, Its for a
Land Speed Racer For Bonneville Sat Flats , I wish for you they take it like my kids and say, Awesome ,Your finally gonna race Bonneville!
And last, Again from a newbie to newbie, I ran Bonneville in 2014 & 2016 So compared to everyone, Im a Newbie, So might I say, As for your comment, Im going to meet him and I hope beat him, Im just sayin ,Dont get your hopes up on beating anyone, Last summer, Right after my third run of my life,I had No Traction and ran slower than before, As I sat in my pits, Two older guys came up and said, No traction on that run ,we were watchin, I was dejected , They laughed and said, How many runs have you made ? I said ,Thats the 3rd run of my life, Jim, Remember this answer the older guys gave me after I said 3rd run of my life , , ,
They looked at each other chuckled and said, "So you thought you would come to a place where racers have been going fast over a hundred years , And run right up there with them after two to three runs" For Me Point taken . . . . .
Go to Bonneville ,Fall in love with it , And enjoy any speed you get ! Because my Friend, Its a Blast and so are all the people you meet there !
