Rex who ?
« on: June 14, 2011, 04:09:41 PM »
I think most of you know Rex.

Rex Svoboda, course director for BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials, choreographs 800 pound missiles that travel at 200+ mph across two landing strip type courses that reside in the middle of the high desert. It takes a committed team of volunteers, in the timing tower, at the starting lines, and along the length of the 11 mile race track to make it all go like a mechanized ballet.

Rex tells his story of how he became addicted to the salt and gives us an insider’s look at life in the timing tower in the center of the Bonneville Salt Flats, the World’s Fastest Race Course.
Enjoy this new clip of one of the real - cool guys.     :cheers:     And kindly leave a comment at you-tube

Rex ran a beautiful blue McLaren a few years ago and is now running his new front-wheel drive "Saab Story".
