Mike booked rooms for us. We got ourselves a new trailer for the lakester. The car is almost finished being put back together. Mike is really putting in countless hours on the car. Gabe has put in hard work too. David Wise and Duane Cole have also been lots of help.  Our sunburns are almost healed from last August. I think we are pretty close to being ready. God, I can't wait for another Wendover morning.... The drive away from wendover. The moment you see that bonneville speedway sign. The excitement of stepping out onto the salt. The first time you hear the snarl of a big angry v8 in the wide-open desert. The adrenaline rush when the guys at the starting line give your safety harnesses one last hard tug. Last year was my first year with my foot on the gas pedal. You could say that  I AM READY and the car will be ready also. Speed Gods willing...

This year will be our 17th at Bville.  And each time we get to the salt -- the same things feel just as good for us as they do for you.  And I betcha the folks with many more years -- get the same thrills. 

See you on the salt.

Here's a bit of SpeedWeek news for you all to ponder:

Just this morning I received a fine gift from an anonymous donor that musta got tired of me whining about it last SW:  Landracing.com now has a microphone that I can put on a stand out in front of the announce booth and getcha the sounds of the engines as they putt-putt past.

It worked okay last year when I'd step outside and hold a mic, but now we'll have one that's available all the time and right now, instead of after I finish the next gulp of gatorade.

See you/hear us on the salt.

Jon,
Just saw this and had to rejoin here and reply!
You have always had an external microphone with the blue box that Chris set up years ago.
I used it at Wilmington and WOS and worked fine. I finally bought my own equipment from Chris so I would not be interfering with you! You just never brought them to Bonneville!!!!!
You gonna bring this one?????

Dang, Chris, I just swoon when you talk so techno-artistically.

In answer to your query:  Yah, I shoor tink so.  SCTA/BNI makes it way easier now.  I (well, Ron and I) get visited by the ice and cold drink guy every couple of hours.  Oh - you mean sound gear.  Yeah, that's under control as soon as I find the laptop.  But that's another story.

Scaaty racing is entered. Still working on the car. Chasing 200 this year. I have more concern about my old truck she is getting tired. Hoping for good dry salt. See you there.
