The other thing I should mention is that many of the competitors ask us not to announce their times over the CB radio.  They do not
want to reveal their hand before Speed Week.

Sounds like it's setting up to be a good opening event. Any chance of it being streamed?

For the Test-N-Tune we bring a much smaller work force so we can keep the costs down. This precludes any chance of us doing live streaming from the salt.  I believe we will be making several updates to our Facebook page each day to keep people informed as to what is happening.

 Why use Facebook? Isn't that  partly what this site is for? because if one can get on facebook they can surely get on Landracing.com.

  I don't know why, [ I don't post fotos] but Troy does and for some reason it's harder to post on landracing.com

  Maybe Slim can explain :?

 They used to post pictures on Landracing,  I was getting updates every day without using Facebook before.

I won't be at the T&T this summer, but you're all welcome to post whatever stuff you want here on this topic -- okay?  Let me know if you'd like to use something like Photoshop so you don't have to fiddle with resizing and being limited to 4 photos/post.

Last year there were no vendors I would think this year would be the same. Was set up that only car and crew were to attend.
Records or parts, I didn't come all this way not to break something.

Dallas is correct. The only vendor that will be on site is Rick Gold with ERC fuel.

And since some of the racers don't want their speeds and other stuff put out for the public -- you know one reason why I won't be there to stream the audio for the T&T.

   If  I may be so bold as to chime in; Ellen will have her trailer and tables set up at "Land's end"
with club related merchandise.
Thanks,

It's funny how some of us seem to forget that most of the water that was on the salt is actually over at Intrepid now.
