Speaking of SpeedWeek stuff:  I've got toilet duty, as usual, and if you want a "private" unit - for your pit, for instance, or your campsite - you can contact me and I'll refer you to Trevor Inman at Honey Buckets, the porta potty vendor.

You'll pay rental and pumping fees - the latter based on how often you request they clean it - daily, every other day, etc).  You can have a padlock to put on the door, too, to keep the unit private for your people, not everyone on the salt.  Handwash stations and ADA (handicapper) units are available, too.

Get in touch with me, directly to Trevor Inman at Honey Buckets, or ask JoAnn Carlson (SCTA office) for contact help.  For the sake of your G I tract's curiosity, we rent about 6 dozen units for SCTA/BNI, and there have been as many as 90 "private" units rented, too.

Yeah -- Nancy and I, and before us Jon Amo, have held Salt Talks - a Land Speed Racer Gathering, we call it - on Sunday evening of SpeedWeek.  It's hamburgers and chicken breasts and stuff and bring your own alky and chairs, and there's a lie detector set up so that nobody can say he's gone faster than he really has, and we won't listen to any more stories about how fast you would have gone if only xxxxx hadn't broken.  We usually have a raffle and maybe t-shirts and all of that.

See you on the salt.

Shucks, I guess I should have built one of them Rear Engined Modified Roadster thingies. I guess we are hoping to get there, pass inspection and run either a AA or B in PP and qualify for a red hat. After 19 years and about $25K, it just might be time. But, I am convinced this place is determined to crush me!

First is get a running car to the salt
With that being said. I'm still looking for my first 200mph run. Anything over that is a bonus. The record is 258.3        258.6 would be great with a backup run the same or more. It's all fun
