Hi all,
I posted this once, but probably messed up as it did not show. A couple of us are hoping (should know this weekend or so) to run down to the salt next Friday and back home Sunday evening. I was wondering who is going and what cars we should be sniffing around.
Probably just stay in Salt Lake and drive over both days.
Hope to see some speed.
Doug
I'll be there with my 65 Buick wagon and the RRT trailer.
I'll be there in my purple truck. It's pretty easy to spot on the salt. I'll likely be anywhere but probably either at the very far end of the pits.....just over the rope on the spectator's side (4 mile marker on the long course) or helping out with WZJUNK & Hooley's pit, or eating some of Cword's brother's great cooking at the North of 49 pit. :D
SLC is quite a drive. It seems like there should be a room available in Wendover.
See ya there

The answer as to why it did not show at first can be found here (http://www.roddingroundtable.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=837)

I'll be there. With Hooley and John in the pits. Here is a picture of his car with Hooley on the left and John on the right.

I'm with George, in that it is a lot of driving from SLC back and forth. About 115 boring miles one way. Bring a tent and sleep at the bend in the road and use someone's shower at night. I've also had friends go, and even though the motels say they are full, they have found rooms at the last minute.
Well anyway it will be good to see you and everyone else on the salt in a week.
c ya, Sum
Yep! I'm looking forward to being there too, and seeing the course at speed!
mike
Me too, be there Friday.
Bob
I'll be there also. Will be enjoying the action Sunday through Wednesday. Certainly looking forward to meeting you people as well as seeing the cars. Kinda fun putting some faces on the names from this board.
We'll be there for the weekend. Bringing a 8 x 12 sunshade and table to add to the group. Does anybody know if the BBQ trailer is making the trip? See you all soon.
I'll be there Thursday night and am staying to Monday. I'll be driving a Cavalieror what ever else the rental car agency has for me. Plan to help wherever. GPster
As of 10pm tonight, the grille on the RRT BBQ was fired up for the first time. Man does that sucker put out some heat. It looks like it's ready to go in the morning sometime.
I have spent the last 4 days thrashing on the car and the trailer. If anyone tells you an HEI drops right into a 300 ci. Buick, don't you believe it, it fits, but it doesn't "just drop in". I also added cruise, and a new sound system, along with a trailer hitch.
Fatcat came over today and we worked on the trailer, it isn't done, but it's servicable. There was more to do than I liked, but we managed to get it done.
Louisville here we come !!!
DUH - would help if I read the earlier posts in the thread!
I'll bring a cooler with something to throw on the grill so those that are flying in won't have to worry about starving. I'm hitting Costco later this week so I'll get something in bulk.
I'll be cruising out on Friday with Faat Rod and Pope Down Under. Mickey Ellis will be coming along in his new '32 RED roadster pick-up. I'll be in my black '34 three window coupe. We'll be staying until Tuesday. Everyone should bring some type of pyrotechnics for Saturday night at the bend in the road.
See ya there, Don.

Doug I don't know if you have had any luck with rooms, but have you thought about Ely, NV. About 60 miles from Wendover, so only about half the distance as Salt Lake City.
You might want to check ahead as the rooms there might also tend to fill on Fri/Sat nights.
c ya, Sum

In this post when I knew of an extra room, Faat Rod said he had some rooms. http://www.roddingroundtable.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1025
He's at Louisville right now and probably didn't see this thread.
I just called him and he has one room available at Motel 6 in Wendover. Doug, if you see this either PM me or Bob (Faat Rod) and we'll get you hooked up.
See ya on the salt :D
Thanks for all the info everyone. George, I pm'd to you with an ok, I hope it got there, this is the first time I have used PM.

Yup, I got it and returned it with Bob's contact info. You'll have to talk to him to confirm everything.
Glad I could help. There's quite a few of us staying at Motel 6.

Yep, that's the one. One of the fenders is even steel! It even has a, now get this, a TOP!!!!!!
He deserves all the heat you can give him. :D
Doug:
Got your info, found out I can't answer with an attachment from a remote location. I'll call my Spousal Unit and have her send it to you. Fax it the number on the form and I'll my secretary fax it to the Motel Tomorrow. Wife should be home in a couple of hours.

Bob,
Thanks a bunch. I will get it out in the morning, I am headed home for the day now and it is cruise night, can't miss that.
Thanks
Doug
Doug:
You should have that form by now, the spousal unit emailed it about a half hour ago. Fax it to the # on the bottom and I'll call and have them forward it. Lemme know if you got it.
Bob
Bob,
It was waiting for me this morning, filled it out and faxed it. I got a non confirmed message from my FAX machine but I think it went out anyway.
Thanks
Doug
Looks like we are headed down on Friday. If anyone is running down I15 and needs anything, I am only about 2 miles off of the highway at the Helena MT. turnoff.
See you on the salt.
Doug
Sure wish I was going...Unfortunately, I still have to set aside a little time for work :roll: Have fun,be safe and keep us posted on the fun!
The wife and I are driving the late model this year. We are arriving on Thursday and leaving on Tuesday morning after the record runs. We are also staying the the Motel 6 (thanks Bob). And we are also celebrating are 2 year wedding anniversary, we took wedding pix two years ago on the salt in Black & White pix.

That was pretty sneaky of you to get married on the "salt". Now you have to return often to celebrate you wedding aniversary.
Why didn't I think of that :roll:.
Hope to see both of you there,
Sum
actually if memory serves, they got married in vegas and honeymooned on the salt. hows that for pickin a wife? hope i find one (eventually) like that.
later jim

You may think that it sounds like a good idea but I was in the adjoining room to them at Wendover.
