Do a search on this site. There was a pretty thorough discussion a short while ago with some good pictures. Even a couple with the parts all layed out.

My name is Dan, I am finally starting to build a 500cc 1948 Triumph to run at Bonneville. I have built engines, bikes, and cars and like the mechanical side of vehicles more than the aesthetic. What I am actually building is a modified grand prix engine in a stock 48 frame, and I am hoping to learn some things from the people on this forum.

Papi, The chat line is every Tuesday night. Just a whole lot of LSR people talking about LSR, and other things they fall in as well. It's a great place to find out about people in our sport and what they do. Racers,crew members the volunteers that make it happen and we get to pick on Noonan. Lynda is the security at the road to the salt. I have been going to the Salt since 1953. The last 24 years in the timing trailer at the Lakes and Bonneville. Join us next week at 7:00 PM Mountain time. You will enjoy the chat.Usually lasts about 3 hours.

On the website cover page just click on the chatTuesday  line and log in.

Hello all,

Name is Gregg Adams and I am from Nashville, NC which is 2 hours north of Maxton.
 
I have been a lurker here for about 4 years absorbing everything I can about LSR.

Been interested in cars since the 60's and helped a friend drag race in the 70's.
Always have been interested in any type of racing but this LSR stuff is probably the coolest. Been attending Maxton on and off for about 4 years and the bug has finally bitten...hard. I am currently working on a Dodge truck for MMP and hope to have it at Maxton in April, 2010.

I will be attending my 1st Speedweek this year. Excited is an extreme understatement. Even though I have been a long time lurker, I feel I know many of you. I am looking forward to meeting you, at Lands End, at Inspection, in the Pits, in Impound, at Salt Talks, etc.

For all travelling to the Salt, have a safe trip.
For all racing at Speedweek, have Fun, be Safe and go Fast.

Gregg

Jon,
Don't know if you remember me, but I moseyed up to you and Nancy at the April and June Maxton meets and made donations to this wonderful website.

Hi all !

Erwin Planting, aka 32vertex, from the Netherlands here ! Been lurking here for a few weeks, and thought it was time to register. I am 42 years old, selfemployed Facility manager, married, two kids and a dog. Hotrodder in a oldskool kind a way, driving a 32 roadster, flathead Merc, with, you guessed it, a Vertex ignition amongst all other goodies.
I am in Trashers cc (www.trashers.nl) with six other hardcore guys, and we are in the early stages of building a belly tank lakester, destined for V4F class.
Follow our action on: www.trashersracingteam.blogspot.com
Since P38 Lockheed Lightning tanks were not exactly available here (frogfur is easier to obtain...) we acquired a tank from under early 70s F4 Phantom fighter. A bit smaller then the P38, so our tiniest clubmember is the designated jockey !
We are aiming for Speedweek 2011 so hope to see y'all on the Salt !

cheers
Erwin

My name is Brian Boatman. I am the one that "Slim" said was renting out our basement (IN WEST WENDOVER, NEVADA) for the summer months of the salt flats racing. We'd love to have you and your crews stay at our place. We have a large basement bedroom *cool in the summer*, bathroom with a shower, sauna and a garage to protect your "ride". We are asking for $75.00 per night. If you'd like pictures of the accomodations, please get with me at 775-268-0316 or ke7fsz@yahoo.com . We look forward to hearing from you! Save some money to throw into the slot machines! :-D

NOTE: We are already booked August 8, 9, and 10th.

Brian and Roseanne Boatman  :mrgreen:
