Hello,

David Tanner from Temple, TX.  Just lurking and learning.  Never been to any land speed racing event but hope to soon.  I have a dream to run at Bonneville one day, maybe not competitively, but at least for the experience.

Welcome to the forum. Once bitten by the salt bug, you are required for a yearly salt fix.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Unh, forgive me -- but what's "tring in herts"?  I assume that if I were from your part of the world I'd know, but I'm not, and we always enjoy finding out just from whence come the new folks on this Forum.

Care to expand upon your bio?

Welcome, anyway.

 Hello all, I just registered with the site in hopes of finding more info out about running the salt...hopefully this august. Looking for a few pointers specifically what class my car would fall in and any (costly)safety requirements I should be aware of. I recently became a member of BNI, but haven't gotten my rule book yet and would like to send my registration in before may 15 to avoid the price increase.

 I have a 1980 Camaro street car that I am in the midst of installing an L92(stock) and 4L60E into. The car is all steel right now with full interior and is used as a street/strip car. Currently a 3.73 posi, but I am building a 3.42 to make better use of the new engine/trans combo. Car does not have any spoilers or airdams and weighs about 3200 with the sbc/th350 and me with a full tank. The motor swap and cage should put it closer to 3050 and L92 is rated at 400 horse.

 If any other info is needed please let me know.

 Thank you, Joe


Thanks...noobs...

Hello everyone.  I have been checking this place out for some time, but its time to join.  I love hot rods and dream of running on the salt.  I am going to start looking for something to build for the salt and try my hand at it.  I grew up around muscle cars and hot rods with my dad.   Well...looking forward to meeting some of you and hopefully meet some of you out on the salt.

My name is Mike from Fremont CA,  I have been lurking on this site for a few years now and thought I would join.  I love the vintage iron and have been collecting the pars to build a VGALT with a GMC.  I use to race a GMC 6 at the Fremont drag strip in the late 60's till I got married and the family came.  I am sure I will have lots of questions as I go.

New to the site and land speed racing. I have a dream to run a 1967-1972 or 1973-1979 Ford F100 with a built 300 I6 as fast as it will go. I'd love to build it and get it to the salt sometime soon. Aerodynamics of a toaster and all! I do plan on getting my Tundra built up and ready to go to the salt as well.
