It ran HOW FAST at Bonneville in 1982?...... in what incarnation was this car in 1982?..... it would have needed to bew a pontoon boat to run at Bonneville in 1982.....

On another note.... if the car had number 88 on it from a long time back..... was it originally a car owned by Bill Burke?

Yep, 82 and 83 were cancelled years if I remember it right.... I80 and the RR tracks in Salt Lake were under water.

We didn't leave Cailfornia in '83. No program, t-shirt, etc. A lot of build up for nothing. Good thing we had El Mirage out here.
