How many of us can give examples of stuff like "We cleaned the bike down to the frame last autumn, and this spring put it together and when it was on the dyno it was dropping hunks of salt!"? I've long held that the best way to get all of the salt would be to find a fast-running creek a little bit deeper than the race vehicle and park the car/bike in that stream for four or five days. That'll get dang near all of it.
I last ran in September of 2014. The day after I got it home, I put the car up on jacks and ran an oscillating sprinkler under it for a solid day. Vacuumed and hosed off everything, repeated the process after it had dried probably 2 times.
It's now the 19th of November, 2017, I'm under the car prepping it for some chassis mods, and sureasshit, I wipe my finger on the inside of the driveshaft tunnel, taste it,
and it's STILL THERE.I get a chuckle when somebody suggests that they might build a car for Bonneville and then put it back on the street . . .
