This may not be the best place to post this.  Sunday April 23 at 7;30 pm is My Classic Car.  The episode is the El Mirage visit he made last year.  Or thats what I'm told.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Cool.........thanks for the "heads up", I do not watch alot of television and the wife tells me about car stuff that is on...........


Oh yea, this a test from the YOU TUBE site with a search of "Bonneville", or if you want to see some neat stuff search "HAMB" also.

Got 'nuther one, caught it at the last min last Thurs nite on WGBY PBS Springfield MA thanks to a fellow enthusiast who gave me a heads up.  "Gullwing at Twilight: The Bonneville Ride of John Fitch"  Well worth the 1 hr.  watch if it comes up on your local PBS station.

If you search youtube for land-speed you get a few videos.  Turbinator, and a couple of bike runs at Texas mile.

Bonneville as the search term gets a few more videos.

I saw that special about the Mercedes Gullwing,was sitting at work dreaming about getting my bike back from Australia one of these days(weeks,months??) and was flipping through the channels when I saw SALT!! Was an interesting show with a lot of shots of cars and bikes running.
Bonneville 2001,2002,2003,2004,and NO stinking 2005,DLRA 2006, next?
Well,sure can't complain about 2008--6 records over 200 and 5 hats from Bonneville,Bubs, and El Mirage for the team!
