Okay, it's those cars -- and Leo Hess's bike with the twin Harley motors on pop. It's either the motors OR the body that's a Don Vesco work, Mike tells me. Photos of who was there this afternoon when we left the Salt:
First of all, here's your most special-ever landracing.com t-shirt -- signed by not only Andy Green, but by me and Nancy!
Mike Cook of Cook Motorsports is the guy that has coordinated the top speed shootout, getting the FIA and USAC and all that stuff together. Here's Mike and Sumner, who will probably try to take credit for doing everything(?).
The Nish streamliner is here, inside the trailer while they set up the pit ground cover and awning.
The Mormon Missile diesel 'liner is hidden inside the trailer:
The Buckeye Bullet was out of the trailer, although it's pretty well hidden behind the rig. Nonetheless, we did see it on the Salt:
And I took and posted a photo of the Speed Demon (trailer) arriving yesterday, so here's George Poteet and Ron Main talking with a tall guy wearing sunglasses. We've got the proof that the Speed Demon's owners and driver are here:
Mike says we should be there first thing tomorrow morning to watch things get started. Since Burklands and all three bikes weren't there when we left -- I wouldn't expect all to be running at first light. But -- we'll see, and you'll see what we see.
Oh, yeah -- I need to thank Debbie Dross most personally and thankfully for grabbing the handles and trying to help my lame-o efforts to publish what's going on out here. I don't know how the survey is going on how to best display results), but between your ideas and her abilities and the stuff I gather -- we'll get it done. I wonder if there's a way for me to post links to forum topics -- put the links right on the front page so non-forum members can click and go directly to the stuff they wanna see. I think maybe not -- you've gotta be a registered forum member to do that, right?
Anyway, we're working on it. Now I'm going back to the Mormon Meteor topic and put up some more videos.
