Since new records are being set on the salt on a daily basis there, I would imagine that the salt is in pretty darn good condition!

 

on vacation, but no ride to the salt, I KNOW everyone is having fun. thanks for the pics

 

Chuck G. Great pictures you shot .. I LOVE how you have racecars in your collection of pictures,you also took real nice shots of some killer Hotrods for the street.I just got home a couple of hours ago,this year was too short for me but it was great just like your pictures show.

 

Great picture here!!!! 2 Heavy Hitters in impound.

 

Hats off to Vince! Congratulations!

 

Awesome pics, thanks.

 

Great pics. Thanks.

 

Chuck G. - Nice pics! ... Thanks for posting!

 

#909 "Speed Nymph Garage" E/BGS ... old record 317.739 MPH ... Dennis Varni bumped it up to 327.967 MPH!

#1122 "Spirit of Rett" A/GS ... old record 350.728 MPH ... Charlie Nearburg bumped it up to 353.825 MPH!

 

Yes! I watched both of these beautys run yesterday and I was loving it.

 

Nice snaps.

 

I'm glad you guys like the pictures. I finally made it home so here are the pictures from this morning (Monday).

A storm swept through on Sunday night and I was worried that they might have to shut things down for a while but it wasn't that bad. The entrance was pretty wet but the track was ready with only a slight delay.

 

These guys went over 400 mph on Sunday but turned out at the 1/2 mile for the back-up run so they didn't get the record.

 

The fit and finish on this car was impressive.

 

I think these guys came from Italy. It was an old indy car tub and engine with a frame built around it.

 

Awesome shots thanks

 

I went to the starting line first then went down to the 5 mile mark to watch the really fast stuff make a pass. Unfortunately, the Poteet/Main car turned out early but I got to see Nearburg make a pass at 385 mph.





That's it. If you like hot rods and race cars, you need to come to Bonneville.

 

I posted a few more pictures here --> http://www.dogfightmag.com/forum/showthread.php?524-***Bonneville-2011-Pictures***

 

Love the pictures! Sort of cringe a bit at some of the awesome rigs on salt!

 

Thanks for the shots guys.... I really hope we can get back there next year... (Although I think the budget will be a bit tight for that for a few more years yet....)

 

Great pictures, thanks for taking the time to share with us.
