Mechanic by trade and hobby.

Hoping to finally get to the salt this year, been waiting 6 years.

Maybe in a few years my own car.

Making things faster takes up all my time. :-D

Hey Derek welcome.
Boy are you in trouble. You live in the hot bed of lsr. It's going to ruin your life!  :-D
Really this is a great sport and the old guys keep saying no young guys are getting
involved. So show them they are wrong. Looking forward to meeting you.
Don't forget you can shoot out to El Mirage 6 times a year and see alot of the same
cars that run on the salt. It's only an hour an d a half away too.

Welcome again.

Thanks guys, glad to be here.

Not that young at 35, but not to old either, somewhere right between.  :-D

I've been trying to get to El Mirage too, but just can't seem to get the weekends straight with all the other shit in my life. Once the kids get older, I'll have plenty time to spare.

It already has ruined my life. But in a good way I hope. :cheers:

My name is Henrik and I´m a 29year old swedish guy.
I hope that one day I can take a flight over to the US and visit Bonneville Speedweek.  :-)
My biggest intrest here in life are vintage cars and bikes. I own a Chevrolet Pickup -50, VW rod -63, Volvo 145 Aut -68, Triumph 750cc -50 and a Svalan 75LYX -51.
The volkswagen is under construction right now and landspeedracing have inspired me a lot in the building of this car. I hope I can get a little help whit some questions about how the cars painting was in the mid 60's.

Kindly Regards, Henrik

Hello. My name is Randy Rannberg. Its been a while since I was at Bonneville, and would like to bring the liner out again, but not sure if it will be electric or not. But thats all I have had for power being on the salt. It may be hard to do the internal combustion thing... :-D... But I miss being there and the people mostly. You are the best there is to be around. My Dad loved it there when he was alive, and I do as well.
 Have to see what happens, I am in Oklahoma now and the liner is in California. It may take awhile to get everything in order, I hope not to long so I dont miss to much. I need the sun....
 Thank you !!!
