Event Coverage 75th Bonneville Speedweek 2023

Watching Dopler radar about an hour ago. Looked like a green swath just blew across the flats. Im in south salt lake valley and just got hammered. My yard is a marsh right now.

Dang Bobby, wish id known you were in the neighborhood, id have bought you a beer or coffee, something.. i have a different user name on FTE. Jmadsen.
Timman Scott, I was hoping to head out to the salt on sunday but sounds like a delay. And monday I've got work.

We will be there at the end of the pits with the Ducati EZ-Up.

That is known as a Gar, google it.
They come with different sized snouts, but all look like serious eaters

 

Does anyone have a link to a webcam for Bonneville?

Doesn’t look very promising for a few days..as I’m waiting in Wendover…

 

Yesterday:
Waiting for todays update (8-4-2023)
Hopefully no update yet…isn’t bad news, as I would imagine they would be checking things out at sunrise!

 

Hope today's news is good news.

We will be inviting vehicles in groups so please follow the updates.

 

Well, I'm out. Left early this morning, made it about 160 miles and started having problems with the clutch in my coupe. Turned around and limped it home. So I guess I'll sit this one out.

 

Dam that sucks..
I was thinking of going tomorrow morning but I think I'm gonna stay home and get ready for next year...

 

They are currently doing inspections at the Airfield

Some of the heavy hitters are leaving due to potential conditions for high HP cars. Leggit, Beck etc.....

 

I kinda lean in-line…from the show at the Nugget!

 

So when do you get to go through inspection with that number?

 

We are not out there but would have been late today or tomorrow...................or next week !

Sounds like Inspection went well today for most!

 

Sorry to hear that Scott. We are camped up on the hill.

Seems weird to not be there. But if I was there I'd be going out of my skull with boredom. If you don't gamble, there is nothing to do in Wendover.
The salt flats camera view looks a little better this morning....still pretty soggy though

 

Yeah, once you hit the Airstrip museum you might as well drive back to Salt Lake. Wendover as a town sucks
