Event Coverage Bias Plies to Bonneville '09

What a week! Just returned home from my second trip to Bonneville in 3 yrs. I think I can speek for the others in our little group that we had a blast. Left Central Mo on Thursday morning and headed west towards Abilene to pick up Jay (Nosurf) and then head north to Seward NB and Hellraisers place to meet up with Jeff (hiboy32) and his son Donovon. Jeff was having overdrive issues, as in his OD was shot and we thought we might have to change transmissions before we left. Jeff decided he could go on so we just put the (spare) in the trunk for just in case. We left Seward about 10:30ish and drove to North Platte NB before we stopped for a nap.

Friday morning we headed west on I 80, stopping at the Lincoln Memorial rest area in WY for a bite of lunch. After several fuel stops and few stops so Jeff could water his Flatty we arrived safe and sound at the Bend in the road at 10:30 pm Friday night and set up camp. So enuff of my blabbing heres some pics.

Greezy sounds like you had a hell of a trip, cool pics.

 

Awesome!! I was big fan of both of your cars. You were running a SBC with duel 4's right?

Anyways, glad that the trip went well and wish we could have introduced ourselves to one another. Maybe next year!!!

 

Man what a cool trip....

 

Heres some pics from Saturday morning at camp, on the way to the course, and hanging with the Old Crow team.

Looks like you boys had fun. I was busy dodging Harleys up here.

Some more random stuff. By the way you can pack alot of stuff in a 40 coupe trunk. I became the support vehicle. All the camping gear, luggage, transmission, Jeffs spare tire, and his hood. Like I said earlier Im glad I put the longer shackles on.

Thats what Ive been told, so me and Jay were prepared to die at any givin minute of the trip, that and my tube axle.

Nick it was good seeing you again too.

I had such a good time, and was so relaxed during the whole week. Got to hang out with old friends and made a few new ones along the way.
For those of you that keep putting this trip off, get with it and get your *** out there.

 

You guys are too cool, definetly my new hero's !!!
Looks like you had a blast doin it all the old school way. Cool to see 2 of my favorite cars go the distance. Glad you all made it back ok. See you at Mokan? Gary

 

Man I am soooo jealous ,Jeff your car kicks ***!I have got to do that trip oneday! Later Rob

 

I told you, you guys wouldn't get past North Platte that night.

As long as you had lots of Miracle Whip, I knew you'd make it without a hitch. It sounds like you guys made good memories, now you can be tucked safely into your nice cozy beds at home.

Welcome home......

Thanks for coming all that way just to see me......

Speed Week was just the side show!

 

I am totally jealous of all of you!

 

I dont know Dallas after sleeping in the tent and 3 nights in the 40, i dont know if Ill be able to sleep in a regular bed.

Well I gotta say Brant damn good thing Speedweek was going on, otherwise there would have been a mutiny....

 

Was I that bad?

 

Great pics Greezy. Thanks for posting. Hope you had a great time.

 

Thanks for posting and your pics! It was great seeing you again

 

That '40 was one of my top 5 favorite cars there this year. Loved it.

 

Awesome. Sounds like it was a great trip. Love the pics too.

 

Greezy, I think you guys had a ball ! I was suppose to be there with a non-Hamb buddy and to crew on a non-HAMB racecar. Issues came up so next year for me. Maybe with my "A" Coupe !
