Gerald, be sure to have a GPS, getting out of Los Angeles can be a bear if you don't know your way around as there are several freeways to deal with until you head over the hill to the desert. The speed limits very. Have a safe trip and welcome to the salt.

Hi Glen, I have a GPS to use, but it's sure going to be an interesting experience!

Just get to the I-10 East to the I-15 North and you'll be there in no time.

Hello,
I'm new to salt racing, tried to run at the 2011 World Finals but was rained out  :-( .  Going back this year to Bub's, with a 500 M-BG Kawasaki.

Hi all!

I'm a technical (food safety) writer; actually spend more of my time with a wrench in hand than at the keyboard, since I fix equipment for the food processor I write safety protocols for...

Just got back from my first trip to Bonneville yesterday.  Now, I'm signing up here; looking to learn during the next fifty-one weeks.

Welcome aboard Bill.
I think that there is some sort of microbe that lives in the salt. It attacks many victims when they visit the salt. The main symptoms are brain related. If you are experiencing the urge to build a car and return to the salt, you have been infected with the microbe.
Didn't anybody warn you? Too late now! Sounds like you've been infected. LOL!

   Hi, my names Cory.  My son Ethan(12yr old) and I have spectated for abt 4yrs now, and need to build a streamliner.                                                      I had no idea that salt and heroine were related.
Planning on a F/BGS  F/BFS build with a turbo honda accord (2.2l) motor.  Switching to a 2jzgte as soon as practical.                                                           I live in Layton, Utah so if anyone remotely close has a project I could see for ideas that would be great.

Welcome to the fold (and to the addiction) Cory and Ethan!  I'm also building a car with a 2J, though I'm running naturally aspirated initially as I'm just a bit looney like that.  I ran into some customers on the salt last week that I hadn't heard from before that were running our EFI system on their 2JZGTE in a lakester.  They came and found us as once your EFI system is on a car any weirdness in how it runs automatically becomes your fault ;).  On the contrary we were able to quickly use a datalog from the EMS to find that their alternator had taken a crap and they were running down the salt at like 10v in the charging system, causing a weak spark and misfires...  They swapped in a spare and last I heard they qualified for a record and then for some reason couldn't back it up, I need to follow up with them now that I'm home and find out the final on that....

Good times for sure... hope you see you out there!

Hey guys and gals!
My name is Rob Zomber and joining this forum is long overdue.  I have been lurking for a couple years now!
I went as a spectator to Bonneville for a while and then pitted on the Tardel, McKenzie, Fazio V/BFR for a couple years.  The last two years I have spent inspecting cars at Bonneville and El Mirage.
It's a pleasure to 'meet' y'all.
