Thanks for explaining this.  We will be at BUB, too, on Tues, Wed and Thurs.  Hope to see you there.

The Reverend has a set search in place , we'll let you know what we're watching and when....it'd be a shame to be bidding against each other .........

I'm going to look up some dirt track forums because those guys are the ones who buy 'em according to the seller of that last one.

CONTACT!

I found the 2.56 set we're after....apparently they are hot property for the dirt-track crowd and it seems that there are standing orders for them, we've found a guy in Florida who'll put a set aside for us.....

that's nice.

On Another unrelated matter
If you have a 200mph DLRA License, do you have to go through licensing again at Bonneville?
Anybody?

China accepts my driving licence so why shouldn't Utah?

The car on the other hand might need to prove its metal...
