Hi Kim, it sounds like you and your husband are really looking forward to attending Bonneville Speed Week, I have a few suggestions, #1 see if you can rent a room in Wells, NV, its on Highway 80 which is only 80 miles from Wendover and Bonneville, so it only takes about one hr to drive, then get to the Roads End where everyone camps out near the main gate to the Salt Flats, then hitch a ride to the race track, then when you get in the pits, see if you can find my pit where 3 Studebaker race cars are at, My race car is "Avanti Kid Racing, race car # 1963, (Gold Avanti) then you can enjoy our shade and chairs and watch the race from this spot, we usually pit at the far end of the pits at the 3 mile point of the 5 mile long course, so its a great spot to see the race, remember the pits are huge, we will have over 500 race vehilcles at this event so the pits are about 1 1/2 mile long, but we will be in the first row at the 3 mile point for a good view, we usually have about 15 people in the pits for the 3 race cars, so later we could give you our cell-phone numbers for communication on the salt. Or you can carefully drive your rental car on the salt and still visit with us in the pits and later see Dan in the impound area where he verifys the cars for records. Anyway, we want you both to enjoy our racing sport at Bonneville, it is a very special place and great folks racing there,
take care Dave Bloomberg e-mail is "avantikid@earthlink.net"
PS, you will need sun glasses, sun tan lotion, hats and plenty of water and ice. Food & drinks can be bought in the pit registration area.
