    Here is a picture of Jack Costalla on the salt flats in Boliva. At their recent first SpeedWeek there index.jpg Also, due to some computer glitch that I can't fix, I am now RRichFox. All of my previous data is now gone.

    11995 feet above sea level. Do you need a little more boost on the blower?

    I never new that Bolivia even had salt flats, let alone an economy that would let anyone there to be able to afford to build vehicles to this extreme. Thanks. Bill

    There has been an ongoing attempt to get something going at Hakskeen Pan north of here. There were events in '12, '13, and '14 but nothing since, and there is the constant threat of the whole thing turning into a road trip with track day thrown in for the chest wig and medallion set in their off-t******lf exotics. Kalahari Desert Speed Week's website is down to a landing page. Flooding this year meant no event on the pan, but that is also likely to mean a good surface for the Bloodhound attempt in '18. It's good to see this sort of thing happening in unprecedented parts of the world.

    I Spelled Costella wrong to. How did you expect me to get Bolivia? I am still having lots of difficulty getting on the HAMB. And I think I lost the rest of the pictures Jack sent. If I find them and can do it, I will post them also.

    Rich as some one else said, you are still here on the HAMB, I just searched for you and saw your profile page, nearly 8,000 posts etc. I would PM one of the super moderators, looks to be a simple task to get you back!

    Ryan tried. When I screw up, I do it right. But I can get what I want from here. Just takes longer. Here is Jack in Bolivian street roadster and locals spectating speed trials SAroadster.jpg index.jpg

    I only see one car in the pictures Jack sent. Maybe it was the only car there. I don't know.

    Jack has been sending occasional pictures of the lakester being built in Bolivia. I guess the builders sent them to Jack and he forwarded them to his friends. No information with the pictures. I have to ***ume that the cars were driven or towed to the salt, same as here.

    The better idea is to go to Lake Gairdner for the Aussie speed week--it is at sea level :)

    Current salt pic from Bolivia. Looks pretty good. I think this is from Mike Cooks facebook page 20476630_10213863513052337_5067628873818793957_n.jpg
