Well, well -- it's only 2448 hours or so 'til Salt Talks 2010 gets under way. The annual event -- a gathering of land speed racers and hangers-on, many of whom know each other because of this website and the Forum. Salt Talks is held each year on the Sunday evening of SpeedWeek -- this year it'll be the 15th of August.
Most of you folks know about the get-together. For those who don't -- Nancy and I "host" about 300 or way more of our closest friends at the Bend in the Road. We offer hamburgers, hot dogs, pasties*, soft drinks, and some chips. There'll be donation cans available if you care to toss in a few bucks to help us pay for the gathering, and to support landracing.com in general. it's our biggest fundraiser of the year.
We sell some Salt Talks t-shirts, and also have landracing.com shirts, neck coolers, even bumper stickers. This year we're going to have Salt Talks name tags. We're making them here at our new business (Kudos Laser Engraving), so we'll need your order well before the event. Let's say the cutoff date will be late July, ok? The tags will sell for $5 each and will help all of us know who the heck we're talking with. After all -- we're pretty much faceless on the Forum, so the tags will help us know who's who. If you want one - and I'll put up more reminders and "ads" for them -- please email or PM me for details. I'll have the artwork up here soon so you can see what you'll get.
*Pasties, for those who don't know, are a Cornish edible. Think of a beef pot pie, sorta, that's completely enclosed in a crust and has no gravy. We've bee featuring them at Salt Talks for about 5 years -- and they're always popular. I ordered the 100 that we get - today! So that tells me that we're getting close to Salt Talks '10. See you at the Bend in the Road.
