Unh, this Forum is exactly like it is -- and I can't compare it to others because I don't go to many others As for your avatar - when you're on the Registration page there's a place for plugging in a photo or most anything - to use as the avatar. You might have to convert your chosen avatar to a jpg or something else that's compatible with the system.
Welcome to the Forum.

Greetings!
Luckiest guy on the planet here. We moved to Utah from Phoenix, AZ seven months ago. Looking forward to getting a car and getting into the 130 club and then the 150 club.
Have a wife and two great kids. they have put up with my gear headedness for 10 years of marriage as I have owned a few cars in the day.
Sold my 1968 GT/CS Mustang in March of this year and now looking to get a less collectible car that I can run flat out. Wanted to live in Utah for Bonneville reasons for several years now. Don;t pinch me.... I'm 42 years young and stoked to be here. Fall 2010 I'll be with the USFRA on the salt in search of knowledge, skills and new friends.
I am so blessed to have a good job and co-workers that are quality people. I love my wife, kids, job and life. God is great and life is great too!
Hey, I am looking for a car to buy (cheap) that I can get some good horsepower out of. Dream would be a Mustang that I could add an STS rearmount turbo kit to and learn more from there.
Anyone know of a car I could buy for cheap? Thanks in advance for any ideas you can send my way.

Duck, look in the for sale... there is a race ready car that is probably way less than 1/2 build cost at 15K, there is also a lakester with possibilities and a streamliner.... just depends how far you want to get in... and how fast you want to go...  Welcome to our addiction |

Thanks, Lynda. Good tips on getting family into it... I see you are from Seaside! I grew up in Brookings, Coos Bay and Eugene, Oregon. Hence I am an OREGON Duck and now that I have lived in the Idaho Desert, Arizona Desert and Utah's High Desert.... I am Desert Duck. Real name is Mike. Thanks, Stainless. I will seek out the for sale section... scope it out from there. Not sure if 15K is in the cards presently. Gonna try it on the cheap for the 130 and 150 club. If I am truly geekin out on the salt then I will buy up or trade up and start a long term pursuit of 200. Gotta take it in stages for now. Like I tell my friends and co-workers, the race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on runnin.... I work for the Boy Scouts and practice being a Thrifty Scout, so that is my approach to Bonneville. Until I get that money tree going and can have a good harvest (grin)...  Thank you both for the kind and thoughtful reply and welcome to the racing community! you are appreciated! Mike |

 Welcome Mike! I was raised around the Medford, Talent, Ashland area. Now I'm in Mammoth, Az. I'll be here for awhile before we move any place else! Welcome again, and I'll see you on the Salt in '10> Crow.

Crow,
We used to drive over from Brookings to the Jackson County Sports Park for Drag Racing. I was a mere spectator, but I had a '66 Plymouth Valiant at the time and saw my twin car but with a 440 and massive hood scoop. Made me proud to own a Mopar!!!
We loved the Rogue valley. It was a great place to escape to. When I got my '77 Camaro, I had a guy in your old stompin grounds build a high RPM motor for me. His name was Harold Hinton (I think), but that was 1985 so memory is fading. That little 305 had tall gears and upper RPMs and did 125 on highway 101 on the Oregon Coast (I was 18 years old and nothing could kill me) but front end started to really float so I backed off.
Also have stories of martygra (sp?) in Ashland. Good times with good friends.
If you know of a street car capable of 130 to 150 speeds for sale and inexpensive, please let me know!
Thank you!

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

A few things about me.
I can be a a-#hole. Get over it.
Life is more than walks in the park and pricey mineral water.
I'm all about being real.
Buying 25k beemers to fit in with ADV crowd, then never going further than Starbucks for a $5 Latte . Is a waste of a good bike. Please sell it and burn your man card.
I'm a KLR guy. Doing it cheap is my thing.
Have to because I'm poor, but rich in fortitude, and good ole John Wayne guts and glory.
I like booze, women,bikes,and the American way. If you don't, you must be a commie.
I've done more miles per dollar than 99.99% advriders.
I'm proud to be an American,KLR rider, and a Chinese engine owner( did I mention I'm cheap?).
I wish Harley would get off their a*s and make bikes for the common worker. Build an smaller commuter for the american (built in America, not Italy) and your sales will double. Only the 100k incomes can now afford Harley.
Rant over for now.
