Event Coverage Bonneville Speedweek 2009

Short course starting line










Headed back to town.

 

This years Ridler winner.




This was a neat car from Ontario

 

I'll say this, just pm me anytime you post photos because those were well worth the wait.

This is a BC built car. I don't think he will have much luck getting it registered though.










Someone drew this on the pavement right beside the stock Willys coupe

That was it for Tuesday.

 

This is a little out of order?

Back at the Nugget Tuesday night.

 

Hot Rod?

 

From Anchorage Alaska even farther north than me.

 

Pretty tight fit






another photo shoot

 

This did not look or sound good but he kept his foot in it and kept going???

 

Mobile swap meet?

 

We parked just before the 3 mile mark which was just at the start of the impound and pits. It seemed to work out good as we could watch the cars come and go from the pits and also had a decent view of the cars running the long course.









Lots of bikes cruising around the salt but not many cooler than this kids bike.





My best attempt at a shot of the Royal Purple Nish motorsports car. It was going about 385 mph at the 3 mile mark and 394 at the exit. I was just a hair slow with the trigger finger.

 

Here is a better shot of the Nish car.

 

We were parked here most of the day. Had to rotate my truck and couple times to make sure we stayed in the shade.

 

My truck might have been fast enough to beat this guy? I'm not sure we are in the same class though?

 

I like this set up

 

That is about it. Forgot to take my camera to the Nugget that night and missed a few different cars. Oh well I took enough photos as it was.
The trip was incredible and everything I had read about the place is true.
I can see trying to do the trip again sometime.

Video from the Nugget parking lot

A couple more videos





Thats all.

 

A lot to digest in one viewing. Good stuff.

 

Wow!! Great shots, thanks for sharing !!

 

Nothing quite like Bonneville pics in December to stir the racing fire!!

 

I think its better to save them for a freezing ass night in Montana like tonite & remember how hot it is out there, definetly two extremes. Nice job !

 

Very Sweet, Someday, I will make the trip!!!

 

Holy shit, now that's what I call a photo thread!!! Caught everything that I see plus so much more. How the hell did I miss this 32????

 

Very enjoyable pics. Thanks.

 

thanks for taking the time to post you pics. I think the wife and I will have to go out there some day looks like a lot of fun.
