Introduce Yourself

[Glen]

Randy, good to see you are on line, I remember when your dad brought the car to El Mirage the 1st time. As the timer at that time at the lakes and Bonneville I fell in love with the car. Hope you can put something together and run it soon. Welcome to the forum.

DW and Glen.
 Thanks. I cant wait to get back out there. I need to get the car out here to Oklahoma and work on it. I am working on doing that. Maybe my son and I can do this together, now that he is older and so am I, ouch. We will see.
 Thanks for saying howdy.

Hi, I am Jared McPeek.

I am a gearhead, and have built a 65 Lemans, 57 Corvette, and currently working on a 30 Model A hot rod.
I have never been to a land racing event, but I am wanting to build a land speed car within the next year or so. I am wanting to see 200mph.

[Glen]

J_Rod, welcome to the forum. Could you give us a little more info on what your plans are and what you want to build. It would also help if you include the city and state you live in. That way we might have some one in the area that can help you out.

You can get a lot of questions answered here or where to go for the answers.

[J_Rod]

I am located in Aurora Indiana, 20 miles out of Cincinnati Ohio. I am like most people, my goal is the 200mph club.

I am wanting to build up either a pontiac solstice if I can find one on the cheap or I could use what I already have and use a 57 corvette shell although I was wanting to sell that.

I know I  need to purchase a rulebook to know where I need to start at, however, I have not seen any for sale at the salt flat website.

The 2009 rule book will be available soon.

Go to the www.scta-bni.org web site and you can order it direct. They just came in from the printers.
Good luck on what ever you build. Tomorrow night we have our weekly chat line. Go to the home page and sign up. It's free and it's fun. 7:00 pm.

[J_Rod]

So to get the rule book, I buy the membership, even though I wont have my car ready for speed week this year?

[fredvance]

You dont have to join SCTA to get a rule book, you can just buy a rule book.

Hello, my name is Tim Bradham and have a shop in Fayetteville, NC (Tim Bradham's Chassis Works) tbcworks.com i have been building Chassis's for nearly 20 Yrs now, from 25.1 to SCCA. I've always wanted to build a all out car "Slatflat Style" and now i'm in the stages of building a 95 Trans Am to run at Maxton NC. I've built drag cars that have run 7's @ near 200 mph in the quarter, but i think this will be a whole new animal. I've talked to Joe of the ECTA and i must say, he is one hell of nice guy. I have a crew of great people that will be coming and racing right along with me. We will at the Maxton events with a couple of cars and bikes, and will be working thru the year on the Trans Am, with hopes to run it next year.

Hello, my name's Joe Shaul. 

I've lived in Wendover, Utah for about 5 years now.  I am not a racer (I'm a partner in a small sign company out here in BFE), but am looking to increase my knowledge and involvement in the area since it's one of the top things Wendover's most renown for.  Although the bit about being "Davy Jones Locker" in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 kind of epitomizes life out here sometimes! 

[landsendlynda]

And if you've lived there 5 years, you've seen absolutely all there is to see!!  Unless, of course, you lost the directions to the salt flats!    I've lived there, been there, done that, moved away!!! (thank goodness!)  Welcome to the forum.  Be sure to spend time on the salt during the races...I might even be nice as you come through the gate during Speedweek!
Nice....hmmmm.....nah, not very likely!!  But come ahead on anyway!!  New people are always welcome, just be sure to bring your sense of humor along with you!!
