Bonneville books

[doug]

Here are a few that I like:

small enough for the plane:
http://www.amazon.com/Birth-Hot-Rodding-Robert-Genat/dp/0760313032/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1311697839&sr=8-25

small enough for the plane:
http://www.amazon.com/Dry-Lakes-Drag-Strips-American/dp/0760312168/ref=sr_1_46?ie=UTF8&qid=1311697952&sr=8-46

kinda big:
http://www.amazon.com/SO-CAL-Speed-Shop-California-History/dp/0760322635/ref=pd_sim_b_1

perfect for the plane:
http://www.amazon.com/Mickey-Thompson-Legend-THOMPSON-Hardcover/dp/B002VK3AFY/ref=sr_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311698065&sr=1-8

kinda big and not about Bonneville, but one of my favorites and I think it applies:
http://www.amazon.com/Fuel-Guts-Birth-Drag-Racing/dp/0760326975/ref=sr_1_23?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311698474&sr=1-23

small enough for the plane:
http://www.amazon.com/Ab-Marvin-Jenkins-Studebaker-Connection/dp/1583881735/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1311698614&sr=1-1

Not a book, but the new documentary "The Boys of Bonneville" opens at the theater in Wendover Sunday evening.  It's the Ad and Marvin Jenkins story and includes lots on the Mormon Meteor car.  You can see the basic information by going back to the home page of landracing.com and looking on the lower right corner of the page.

Bad news -- it starts at 8PM that evening -- and that's when Salt Talks will be going full strength.  It's your decision, but - - Salt Talks isn't on tour like the documentary might be.  Caveat Emptor!

I have most of the books mentioned. Speed Duel is a good read. I believe I got mine from Amazon. Boys of Bonneville DVD would be good for when you return home. It would be cheaper than the over all cost of the theater and you can watch any time you want and show your friends where you've been. I saw it on the big screen and also got the DVD. Enjoy your visit

Dang!  That's too bad it wasn't coordinated with you guys somehow!

This is a good read about the JCB streamliner - http://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Fastest-Diesel-Dieselmax-success/dp/1844254208/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321541408&sr=1-1
