Event Coverage Bonneville next year

For those who plan ahead
To; Ray Kelsey' Salt Lake City BLM office:

Ray, last evening (7-17-09) we voted on our Bonneville 2010 dates

We request the dates of August 14th - 20th for SpeedWeek

Our World Finals dates requested are Oct. 6th - 9th

Sincerely, Mike Waters, Chairman BNI

 

Thanks Rich..

 

Good to know.

 

I will put in the diary.

 

I take note that they "requested" those dates. Sounds like it's still tentative untill the powers that control things in Wendover, USA give their blessings.

 

Any idea when the dates will be confirmed?

 

You can sorta count on these dates.

 

Probably no surprise to those in the know, I checked online for room availability at the Wendover Nugget... No rooms available. Is it even possible to get a room somewhere?

 

Hey, I have a tough time getting my message where it needs to be on your website. Can you please make it known to your buddies that we are still willing and able to house people for salt events? We've had some people stay and feel that they have been very pleased with the accomodations. Thanks again, Brian

If you're interested -- it's a real house, and you'd have access to more comforts than you'll find at a motel. Give a call if you'd like - and let us know (back here on the Forum) what you discover, hokay?

 

Thanks Rich!

 

Rich, are you going to run the Vega/Packard at the UFSRA meet or anyhting else ?

 

As soon as they are concrete I'll see if my wife wants to make reservations. I got it bad.

 

just requested it off ...

 

Thanks, helped me plan as well.

 

yup... salt here we come

Tman, i thought you said spectating at bonneville was like watching golf

 

The plan was for jack Vines to run the Packard/Vega at WoS. He got a pickup to tow the car with and last week it blew a head gasket somewhere between Reno and Truckee. So he had to have it sent back to Spokane. It's a Ford/IH Diesel and expensive and time consuming to fix. So now we are looking at World Finals in Oct.

 

Yeah but I think T man is coming to help us crew on the Strange Days Belly tank.

 

The Prez says we have to go, besides, you can drink a beer watching golf or LSR cars

Plus these guys said I could hang out and look usefull

The bad thing is that Sturgis keeps us slammed at work and the Rally ends the opening weekend of Bonneville. I think I can pull it off tho.

 

See you there Tman! I got a ride, and maybe get to pretend I'm a useful part of a crew

 

good point... beer is for everyone
