How old would you be now if you didn't know how old you are?
If you can't race it or take it to bed - it ain't worth having.

I got and posted a publicity release about the Gas-Up. It's on the front page of this website. But -- the type font sure looks kinda small to me, but since I'm using a laptop with a small screen -- I'm not sure. Take a look-see and let me know if I need to make it bigger. Thanks.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

Freud,
On the left is the late Jim Deist, who is on the opposite side?
I am wrapping up one of the projects we spoke of and will see if we can make it up for the Gas up get together.

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

Do any of you know this fellow?
He spoke at the 2007 Gas Up event and I need his name for the foto album.

This is the group that was inducted in 2007.
The "cut out" on the far right side was of Don Zig.
He was unable to attended but had the "cut out" as his stand in.
He made it to the 2008 event.
Look, I have decided to blow off my 55th HS Class Reunion, just as I did my 50th, to attend the Gas Up.
Come meet the people that you have read about and the machines they built and ran.
