The Race to 1000 MPH in Racecar Engineering:

An access road will be cheaper than going to Bolivia.

[55chevr]

Yeah. Especially since there may not be an access road in Bolivia either. 

[Moxnix]

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia.  Rail service from the west coast to Salta.  Highways both ways, including Argentina.

[55chevr]

Max - If the salt layer gets much thinner at Bonneville, Bolivia may be the next option

[Dr Goggles]

The American Eagle is built from a Starfighter, has anyone else wondered if the Breedlove car was fashioned from an Olds Cutlass Salon, circa 1978?

[Moxnix]

There's a hotel out on the flats built of salt blocks, water hauled in.  And hotels in Salta.

[55chevr]

Max - you were just waiting to post these photos of Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

[Moxnix]

The RR track I posted a year ago.  It's a repeat.  Thing being, I am a prisoner here in the Midwest and long for the world travels enjoyed before the little general took me prisoner.

[55chevr]

the similarity to Bonneville is uncanny ...

This is an example why multiple sub-forums are not kosher. (Note to Jon) Both the RCE article AND the Bolivia thing has appeared in more than one section of the board.

I guess different personalities view it in different ways. I don't find it a problem. As a matter of fact I find it fascinating how some of the subjects evolve and in the end they fall out of interest and disappear anyway.

I'm not trying to pick a fight Trent. I guess I'm just pointing out that we all view things a little differently. That's a good thing because it leads to the wide variety of vehicles we see on the salt and other lsr venues.

This should wake up the P-MAN and drive us nuts with I told you so. Thats if the web sites haven't all banned him again.

No worries, discussion is good PJ. I just hate to see topics diluted by ending up in more than one sub-forum. Plus, here and in any other board there are folks that NEVER leave certain subforums. Some due to ignorance and some for insecurity reasons. MTBR is the worst one on the net for this. (mountainbikes)

I'm hanging back and not commenting on the posting of pictures (or discussion, for that matter) in multiple places on this Forum.  I'm about to post some photos that, while not exactly duplicates, are very similar to others that have been put up here in the old days.  You'll have to leave this topic to see them, though.

Funny Jon!
