Title: Who's going to Bonneville?
Post by: flatheaded on June 09, 2009 4:21 pm: Been throwing it around.....again! Just wondering who is all going from around here. Tom, I think you're going. Right? Heard a few other on here talking about it. I checked on rooms and there still seem to be a "few" left. Most seem to be scarfed up already. Thought about camping at the bend but don't own a camper and tenting for a week doesn't sound all that great. Just so I have the dates correct. They are Aug. 17-21. If this isn't correct let me know. Thanks in advance.

Title: SAY HELOW TO THE acme SPEED SHOP GUYS
Post by: eugenevik on June 11, 2009 6:06 am: the ACME speed shop guys[ youngest 55 yr old and oldest is 83} are taking a big bus to Bonneville and are going to pit for a couple cars we were down to Richfield and bought a Mercury a couple weeks ago and met some of the guys on their club, so say hellow to them from the guys from Ada Mn

they may not make a 20 second pit stop but they seem pretty persistant and are surely are some resourcefull craftsmen

Title: they told us
Post by: eugenevik on June 11, 2009 6:38 am: that they were going to help a couple of other people out

they have a 68 to 72 Chev bus with diesel power and will be living in it on the salt
should be painted a blue color it was under destruction a couple weeks ago but many bodies were slowing putting it together for the trip to Bonne
thats all I know
technology may have escaped these guys, the guy we got the car from did not even have axcess to a cell phone, but could build a quite decent car with a minimum of tools and money
