Landspeed Louise is working on a new edition of her famous "Bonneville Salt Flats" book - and is hoping for some help from us -- today's (and yesterday's, too) racers and workers at Bville. She sent the following release to me and asked that I put it up on the site. Please read through it (there's a second and third page that you'll need to click to find), and her contact information - - and most important, a list of questions which answers will give her the information she wants from each of us. Please have at it - and note the deadline, too. Thank you very much.

100th Anniversary edition

“Bonneville Salt Flats”

by

“LandSpeed” Louise Ann Noeth

Bonneville Salt Flats: the Fastest Place on Earth is being updated and republished to mark the celebration of 100 years of racing on the salt in 2014. I have joined forces with the University of Utah Press to publish a book that will now include another decade plus of racing action. Much of the original book will stay the same, but I am picking up the action in 1998 and adding to the historical record concluding with the close of the 2011 racing season.

This means I am looking for not only interesting highlights from each year, but also top quality photographs and speedy personal tales from the racing community.

Every interview yields more names, more stories and more information to gather, people to contact and facts to check.

The window of opportunity is very small..... I will need anything and everything you want me to consider no later than March 1st. Unlike the first book, this edition will held to a higher standard and be suitable for scholarly academic use. The manuscript will be delivered to the University Press in April where it will undergo an exhaustive review, fact-check and edit.

I invite anyone who is interested, to respond to the questions listed below. Those that do will assist in making the history of the Bonneville Salt Flats that much richer a story for all the world to read.

The full-color, hardback book will be printed on high-quality glossy paper and will contain more than 200 photos scattered throughout a manuscript, I’m guessing here, some 100,000 words, prose and captions. A special edition is also planned, details to follow.

Responses to Questions (listed below)

Please understand answering questions does not mean it will be used in the final manuscript. All of it will be read and folded into the storyline, sometimes as reference to understand a situation or explain a procedure, other times your exact wording will be used, the deciding factor is how your contribution fits into the cadence and rhythm of the overall story. I need your written responses no later than sent via email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Photos and Art

Original negatives, slides, glossy photographic prints & high-resolution digital files only.

I am not able to use any photos printed on home computers. these photos will not reproduce at an acceptable quality level. however, such images are welcome for my reference files. To be considered for inclusion to the book a digital image file must be a minimum of 7x10 inches with a 300dpi resolution and submitted via CD or DVD in PC format.

Original slides, negatives, glossy photos, and original artwork submissions are most welcome. I will scan the items and then return the originals together with a CD of the submitted materials as an expression of gratitude for contributing to the historical record. All materials will be carefully handled during processing and returned to you promptly. Please include instructions for photo/art credit.

questions about photos, art work, artifacts? email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Please send the ‘candidates” to: Louise Ann Noeth, LandSpeed Productions, 101 Ladue Meadows Lane, Creve Coeur, MO 63141

Written revisions of the original chapters will be completed by year’s end. Photo selection begins in January 10th. I have left the starting line. Let’s go through the lights together.

Speedy Regards,

LandSpeed Louise
