Default Re: Speed Week @ Bonneville 2012, Who's Going?

This will be my fourth year. Planning on arriving Thursday night. I managed to get a room this year instead of the pop-up camper. Wife's going for the third year and she appreciates that. We'll be living in the lap of luxury.

The biggest problem with "salt fever" is that after a couple of visits, being a spectator gets boring. I have a car built in my mind, but bringing it to a reality????

Have fun John and take plenty of pics!!!! Maybe next year for me or the year after but I won't go unless I drive my roadster out there and back .... it would kill me not being out there with my car!

I will be there! My buddy, Rick, and I went two years ago. I was hooked. He went again last year and had his tent destroyed by a mid-week storm when he was at the casinos. Forecasts say the weather should be better this year. If you see a couple old guys with straw hats riding around on some old Schwinn Sting-Rays, please say "Hi".

Old Geezer,

We'll have to get a Fordbarn group pic with us all in our straw hats. My buddy and I will be wearing our oversize straw cowboy hats motoring on a Cushman and another scooter. Leaving Wednesday with a stop in Lincoln to see Speedy Bill's museum first. See ya' there.

A Bonneville group photo is a great idea! We are planning on getting in on Friday evening so we can hit one of those seafood buffets. Not sure which casino has the best deal/food. Keep an eye out for these bikes. We're getting close!

Won't be in until Sunday afternoon, if everything rolls right. Leave for home Wednesday AM. Taking my '36 stakebed, flat black with red scallops and Gee Bee Garage door art. Hope to see you.
