Fast 4BT
We will all be anxious to see how fast Randy's Streamliner goes............Bonneville is a different form of racing, unless you've been there you'll never realize how tuff it is and yet so awesome...Don't rule anything out powered by a 4BT,,,,,,,!!!!!

'08 Bonneville is the goal for my conversion. I hope to drive it from Illinois to there to take it all in. I have never been there and want to see it! It would be great to see a 4bt streamliner make a run while I was there. Hope I can get my project done in time to make it there. Anyone else going this year?? It would be a great place for a get together!

A quote from the movie, "The World's Fastest Indian"
said by Anthony Hopkins playing the part of Burt Munro
He arrives on the salt flats with a young Vietnam soldier, and looks around in utter disbelief of the sure vastness of it, and being so flat you can see the curvature of the earth.
“This is the world’s fastest racing course, Bonneville Salt Flats, Tooele county, Utah.” Munro says while getting out of the car.
“All my life, I’ve wanted to do something big - something bigger and better than all the other jokers. This is it: Bonneville. The place where big things happen. Do you realize, Rusty, the fastest man has ever gone on land is here? Right here, where we are now?
Malcolm Campbell did it here with Bluebird - first man to go over 300 miles an hour. And then later, his son Donald came here with Proteus. He crashed at 350 miles an hour and lived to tell the tale. John Cobb was here, first man to go over 400 miles an hour. All the great attempts - George Eyston with Thunderbolt, Micky Thompson with Challenger….”
Overcome by emotion, Munro’s eyes well with tears before he murmurs, “I’m telling you Rusty, this place is holy ground, mate. Holy ground. And I made it here.”
Just reading it makes my eyeballs sweat a bit.

You know, it's funny...all these years I've lived no more than an hour away from the flats...and I've never been there!

Golden Hawk
This an old post I know but since I just came from the Langley Good times cruise in, a car show held in the city attracting about 1500 cars annually(and coincidentally my home town,the Friday night parade to the drive-in goes past my house) I felt it necessary to share the up close and personal look I got at the Golden Hawk (a local car by the way) with the rest of you.

The second picture is them stating the fastest diesel in their class is the JCB Dieselmax (when it still ran in that class) at 317mph, while he Hawk has been trailing behind with 310mph but the theoretical limit for the car is 330mph.
