Bruce Meyer's "3 Days In October"
« on: November 22, 2010, 05:48:44 PM »
I thought some of the Bonneville veterans may enjoy this.  Bruce Meyer’s, renowned car enthusiast, had the opportunity to drive Jack Rogers' record setting 757 Camaro at Bonneville during World of Speed.  The joy Bruce gets as he pushes the car to greater and greater speeds will probably remind every Bonneville veteran of their own first runs down the Salt.  I hope you enjoy “Bruce Meyer’s ‘3 Days in October!’”

Ah - the magic of Hollywood. Scenes from different periods of time can be moved to make you think history is different.

Can't see the video, but that car's been in Impound more than you and me combined.  Must be minor or new.
