Hello all,
I am back from the salt and thought I would share some pics.
This is a link to my Blog.
I will be adding discriptions to the pics as I find the time.
Enjoy!

Much appreciated.

Great shots Bob !   
 
Also - here is a big high five to the coolest father & son team at the 3 mi.  Bob I gotta say - you run a tight ship there, its exactly whats needed.
Hats off, and a big high five to all the BUB volunteers who help make this event happen.  :cheers:

Bob, those captions are great.  The bike #71 belongs to Matt Capri, the "grand old man" of Hinckley Bonneville land speed racing.  He has helped a lot of racers from this country and around the world with their new Triumphs. 

Did you or anyone else take pix of the blue Hinckley Bonnie with the pop rivet aluminum fairing, tail section, and front fender, #7497?  I forgot my camera on both Monday and Tuesday and I have no pictures for the scrapbook.  I have lots of pictures of Werner and his Honda.

Bob, didn't get to see you and Dalton @ the 3 this year, but glad I was able to talk to y'all at Smiths.  I enjoyed all the pictures but the one I liked best is the very first one... the sunrise.... and I will probably steal your line a couple of times a year...  :-D

Hi Bob,
Just to say a big thank you for the great images. I was there to talk to Denis and the FIM because I am coming (back) over next year... Gabriel. Angelic Bulldog project. It was superb meeting, and thanks to all the staff there.

I am glad you all enjoyed the pictures!
I love the job I get to do once a year at Bonneville.
I have had the privilege of seeing history written before my eyes.
I have also had the pleasure of meeting a lot of the people on this forum.
I can honestly say that the friendships I have made and the extraordinary people I have met at Bonneville have had a huge impact on my life.
Bonneville is truly proof that God loves us and wants us to go fast.
Stainless, you can quote me any time but don’t blame me if it gets you in trouble.
I know I speak for my Mom and Dad when I say we are already looking forward to seeing you all on the salt in 2010.
Bob
