So I missed the Bonneville Speed Week this year too. Chico of MOONEYES USA had License Run this year and wasn't good to miss that. His story on License Run is up on "Live From California", please read if you can. Drag Race ends in 1/4 mile and 4 seconds, if you drive fastest car but Bonneville means more miles with stepping on gas and that's the scarily part for me.
There are 3 miles and 5 miles course on Bonneville and they are too long. I can hold my breath for 10 seconds but not for 3 miles. But I would love to drive it one day.
Probably Chico will make race car so I will hop on it to get license and restart the '36 Ford Project or bring out Fred's Streamliner and few choices.
This year there were so many people out and may be the movie "The World's Fastest Indian" made affect. The MOON Logo came out so many times on the movie and MOON Logo matches best on Salt Flats. This is the true [MOON Equipped] scenery.
Bonneville racers hotels are at Wendover and at Nugget Hotel & Casino on Nevada state side. This Casino had limited 500 Porker Tip with Fred's Streamliner printed on. People staying on Utah states cross road to the Casino legal Nevada State and enjoy gambling in Casinos but when it rains all day, race gets cancelled and gamble goes on all day, no matter how much money you have, it will not be enough money to spend. |
