As obtrusive as I am I didn't expect Ray Therat to interrupt his viewing of the 24 Hours of Le Mans to post these.

Without Ray there wouldn't be anything for all of you to view on Target550.com.

Thanks Ray.

I just have the feeling that we may see Burklands on the salt again.

No good reason. Just a gut instinct that makes me feel they can't resist.

I'm convinced that they burn inside, having the car and they can run if they want to.

It's just an unrest knowing they have that marvelous piece in the shop and it's difficult to look at it

and not run. 

What the hell is money anyway?

1950 Bonneville
« Reply #1746 on: October 25, 2011, 08:40:38 PM »
I thought I'd pass along these old Bonneville pictures. Around 1950, my father, Byron Boji
and a couple of Chicago buddies took a trip to Bonneville. They raced a ford
flat head. My older brother remembers him telling they were very behind the
southern california guys on speed tech but learned a lot while out there.

If you have any information on the cars, drivers, etc. I'd be interested so I
can pass along to family.

All the Best,

Kevin - please post the old pix here: http://www.landracing.com/forum/index.php/topic,5202.1740.html

I "harvest" them for Slim and we will put them in an album!

Thanks, Woody!

Slim can you merge this topic later?  :?
