The show was last weekend and I thought there might have been a posting about it. The SCTA / SEMA had a building full of LSR machines and it was nice to be able to get a close up without fear of getting in way. One of the highlights was I got to meet SSS and Nancy. It was nice, after all these years on here, to put a face to a name. As its a quiet time in the LSR world right now here are a few photos for those who couldn't make it.

I attended the event and had the pleasure of seeing that great collection of LSR cars and bikes. The SCTA had three tables set up in the building for information and to promote and sell the two book collection Bonneville National Speed Trials. I purchased the books which were to heavy to carry back on the air plane the added deal of shipping them home made it perfect. The two books arrived Saturday definitely a great set of books.
It was a pleasure saying hi to Nancy and Slim and get the chance to give a little contribution to help with the expense involved maintaining this forum. Meeting Russ Eyers and his son was also an added surprise having talked to Russ many times on the phone asking numerous questions and looking for guidance about roadster body rules it was nice to finally thank him in person. Also enjoyed Russ's explaining the situation on the flats.m :cheers:
