Hello, a newbie here signing on. I'm using the name Illiana, after the first race track I ever went to, a little half-mile oval in northwest Indiana, but my real name is Bob Casey and I'm the curator of transportation at Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. I'm not an active racer, but our museum is the proud steward of two significant LSR cars: the Summers brothers' Goldenrod and Tom Beatty's belly tank. I'm mostly here to learn, but hope to be able to chip in with something useful from time to time.

HI BOB


We are neighbors.  I'm in west Dearborn.
Currently rebuilding my lakester into a full streamliner.  Scheduled to be done for Speedweek 2011. 
If you would like, call 313 5626253  or e mail is Rick@RBMotorsports.com

Being members, we are very familiar with your facility, and I am willing to give a guided tour of mine   :-D

There is a small community of active LSR guys in the metro Detroit/Windsor area.  Not a club, but we meet
informally once or twice per year.   We jokingly call ourselves "NO NAMERS"

Oh by the way.  Hoods up was great.

Bob,

Don't forget the 999 car that Henry Ford drove on Lake St. Clair.

I believe this was the first land speed set in the US.

Rick will know, he used that number when he established another first for the good ol USA.

Over 200 using a fuel cell.

Welcome to the forum.

Hello All,
My name is Bud Johnson, I live in central Florida and I am new here.  I have had a fascination with Bonneville since I was a kid but never had a chance to visit. I attended my first LSR event this past weekend at Maxton.....  I have been planning on going for over a year. 2008 gave me a mortality wake-up call and I figured it was time to do and see the things that I have always desired... well legal things anyways. :-D I hope to be attending more events and possibly participating.  This year I have started collecting parts for a '29 Ford coupe. Got the chassis (stock) and a 4" chopped body out in the garage just waiting for me. I hope to learn and contribute here if possible.

Bud

Welcome, Bud.  I hope you enjoyed Maxton this past weekend -- well, what am I saying -- it's obvious you did.  You managed to see one of the finest events at the Mile for quite a while.  Please feel free to check in here regularly and start learning who's who.  We lopok forward to seeing you at Bville soon.

I'm Ronny Butler aka ronnyinwaxhaw. I'm a total newbie to LSR but I have a 3rd gen Camaro and I live an hour and a half from Maxton. I came here thanks to the article David Freiburger wrote a while back about going to Bonneville with Keith Turk's Camaro. I'll be browsing and searching for answers, and if I can't find what I want, I'll ask. :roll:
