    Has anyone camped at the bend in the road by the track? Do alot of poeple camp at this location? We are coming from Sturgis bike week with our toyhauler and we are fully self contained. This will be our first time at Bonneville. Is it possible to use a golf cart to get to the track from bend in the road camping. Thank for any help.

    How fast is your golf cart? it's a few miles across the salt....

    There are quite a few people camping at the bend, everything from sleeping in cars, to tents,, little trailers, to bigass motorhomes.

    Free wifi @ the "tourist info" place in the middle of town. Also, is the HOP UP hop-dog/100mph club induction ceremony still on?

    My club and I should all be rolling in around 8 p.m. friday night if everything goes smoothly. I should be finished wiring my new 38' ford pickup by this weekend so that should give me a few days to drive the bugs out of it before the journey across the desert.
     
  11. Leaving here on the 7th, camping at the bend in the road just up the hill.

    In case anyone hasn't heard yet, Chauvin Emmons passed away on the 1st. His racing team is still going to Bonneville and his son will be driving. Anyone who wants to stop by the pit and pay their respects is more than welcome. Sad news for sure. RIP Chauvin. You will be missed.

    I have never been before. Is any thing happening on Friday the 7th or does it all start early on the 8th. (how early??)

    Any size limit on pit bikes? (yz 80) Is a spectator allowed to have a pit bike?

    I am think of leaving on Thursday the 6th and driving through the night to be there on Friday for the weekend. Thanks Mike
