Well I lost my password and my email address has changes so I had to reregister.

Bucketlist, being tolerant of spammers leads very quickly to them overrunning the board. Once that happens the board quickly becomes next to useless. In this case tolerance is BAD.

Pete, I agree 100% about spam and the damage it can do to a functioning forum. I just thought this post was probably a bad computer translation job from another language. But I'm new here, and y'all have seen enough on this forum to have a feel for what's probably spam. This forum is certainly well kept, and it's a pleasure not to have to wade through a bunch of spam and flaming and nitpicking.

Regards...

  Been a visitor off and on for awhile, been into hot rods since I was a kid. Pop was a Gm mechanic in the 60's and 70's. Guess I never got "over" this car disease. Currently, driving a '34 Ford 5w with a 265 Chevy. Went to Bonneville last year for the first time, leaving Wed. to enjoy the racing again.
I look forward to checking in here for the latest news.. Thanks Steve

Hello Gear heads and Speed Freaks,
My name is Shane Prescott from upstate  NY        I am a master mechanic,with design and engineering back ground  . I have built and fixed just about anything that rolls or floats. The latest project I will be getting involved with is a fun project involving a small turbine engine.
I am looking for someone going to BUB from the east coast so i can reduce expenses.

Welcome Shaner,

Would the turbine be for a two or four wheel project?

Never been to Bonneville.  Hope to go someday.  I'm registered on this forum so that I can keep up to date on my friend Danny Burrow and his runs in the Blowfish.

Well, I finally made it to Bonneville. And myself, two of my sons and a friend had a superb time. You can see my initial report at http://1moremile.blogspot.com/2011/08/bonneville-speed-week-friday-august.html

My name is Pat and I am a "very long time, gear head". I am presently an active Desert Racer competing in Class 1. I have raced in the big Baja races and also the local races in Lucerne, Vegas and Barstow. I was the founder of Off-road.com and operated that publication 'till 2005 when I sold it to Advanstar.

At Bonneville, our group was impressed with the "welcome atmosphere" we received from all SCTA and BNI people without exception. We are also impressed at the incredible variety of vehicles at Bonneville. That variety has sparked more interest and that is why I am on the forum.

A special thanks to Rick MacClean that gave us some great 411 for our first visit to the Salt.

Long time lurker but haven't posted much.  Name is Jerry Hoffmann, I'm a lifelong car guy dating back to well before I could buy my first car, and quickly reinforced by the work I had to do to keep that pile of crap on the road.  (Actually, the first 3 or 4 cars I had were like that...).  In addition to always being a car guy I'm also a life long computer geek.  Back in 2004 I had a complete and total blessing of an opportunity to marry the two together and founded DIYAutoTune which has become the major manufacturer and distributor of MegaSquirt EMS systems and other DIY EFI bits.  

I've been out for SpeedWeek every year since 2006 crewing for Gary Hart and Mike Collison who run our EMS, except for this year as we just had little girl #3 so I figured it would be a REALLY bad time to abandon the house for a week (and Gary/Mike weren't going to make it this year anyways).  But that said, every year I've been out, I've come home with a bit more 'salt fever', and slowly but surely, plans are coming together to build a car and take it out west.  I bought the chassis last year right after getting home from SpeedWeek, it sat until last week when my absence from the salt ate at me to the point I had to get it out and try to start making some progress on it - so I had my team pull it out of hibernation so we can start prepping it.  The 2010 rulebook has been my constant companion lately, and I've got the 2011 book on the way in case of changes....

I'm hoping to be able to 'pick some brains' around here and find some answers to some of my chassis/suspension/roll cage questions (and I'm sure I'll come up with more), and looking forward to seeing you guys out on the salt next year.  Hopefully with my own car this time.  

-Jerry
