Discovery Channel Tonight: Bonneville

Have Kirk do it....we can help!!!!

 

My opinion is that it was what I thought it would be. A bunch of shots of cars by non automotive people!
If you want the actual stuff, just go to youtube and look at all fo the stuff on there for bonneville or el mirage.
I think we, you and I, like to look at cars closely to see what they are really like, and we like to hear the engines as they pull down the chutes, chutes, being the straightaways.
We love that deep roar of the engine pulling hard.
And that is why, I think, the people are there. To see the cars and hear the cars as they power up.
Just like a bunch of people standing around a top fueler listen to the idle and then have their eardrums pop when the pop the throttle.
Noise, color, people, and movement make the thrill. Eliminate the noise and it is almost meaningless.
Hearing that Burkland, even on the tape, is a thrilling engine sound.

I watched it and fell asleep half way through..... could have been a whole lot cooler.

 

Darn, was afraid of that.

Okay

Yeah, raising the mammoth was the biggest manufactured waste of bandwidth I've ever seen.
