anyone going to Speed Week.

Speed week anyone?? We are 3 hot rod buddys from Norway that was planing to spend the vacation at Bonneville. The plan is to fly to Los Angeles and spend a couple of days in Burbank area before we drive to Bonneville. Is there sombody that is going the same way? is there someone we can join?

 

There are a couple threads already, let me get you some links. Lots of folks will see this from Socal.

 

Here is the LSR social group.

Hope to meet you guys, we still have kin in Norway.

 

speaking of which, me and some of the hoodlums have a chance to "Barrow" a big diesel powered pusher motor home his mother in law has been trying to sell, to go to speed week. One of the guys said he thought there was restrictions on size and weight of RV's at the park. Anyone know for sure.How far is the RV park from the pits?

 

Try landracing.com and they have a thread with all the info you need! C U on the Salt! Crow. LFFL

 

Great thanks!

 

If you stay at the Bend in the Road there are no restriction. And its free. In fact there is nothing there except a couple of thousand Bonneville addicts. The is a KOA in Wendover but I have never stayed tere so Ihave no idea of the prices. The Bend is a mile or so from the salt. The KOA is about six miles. My guess is if you are thinking KOA you might want to be booking pretty soon.

 

I'm heading for SpeedWeek probably on the Wednesday before it starts. But I'll be driving an ancient RV puling a trailer so it will be a slow trip. I doubt you'd want to be cruising a 55 mph (and a lot slower on the hills!). Go over to landracing.com and click on the build diaries. Look at the thread "Indian 741 landraciing.....see you in 2011". Its Lars Nielsen's build diary. He is in Denmark and goes by the name Octane. You could PM him and get a lot of info. Super nice guy and one of the most determined. You gotta be to bring a bike all the way from Denmark to race on the salt.

 

We were thinking to start driving on thursday. the plan is to rent a Rv and stay at the bend in the road. I am on landracing.com to, so i can take a look there to. Im working on my on belly tank project you see, so this is something I have dreamed about for a long time.

 

What's speedweek???......Where in Norway are you? I'm Bergen and race there every year. we race a '23 and a '27 roadster. Unfortunately we drove from Texas...but if you drove to Texas first, then to Utah, we love company!
