Cully - I am sure all the HAMB members , appreciate your thread, many of us likely will never get the chance to be there, let alone the adventure getting to the salt.i think it is really neat that you and your misses, would take on the challenge of driving a 32 ford that far, this is crazy ass stuff. Looking forward to the rest of the real life story, by the thanks for the info about the 68 Holden , looks like there were at least 2 yellow ones there ? Still wondering about your gear box issues ? I will wait for that , In your later postings ,thanks for sharing tintop

Great story!
So far

 

Allen Shephard E Type Jaguar we met Allen and his crew on the first day of our road trip we were stopped at Southern Cross in Western Australia getting fuel when Allen pulled up with the Jag on car trailer, he walked over to me and I said speed week he just smiled and said yes. No times for Allen as they only did the short course due to mechanical problems.

 

Gary Satara XJS Jaguar did a best time and record for its class of 182.408 mph.

 

Ray Tully 1959 Porsche 356 run 78.783 mph.
