Event Coverage My take on Speedweek 2021

I won't show all my photos, but here are a few.
And just for the record, it was a great time!

AND I have a question for you guys that have been there a lot.
What is the difference between Speedweek vs this coming event World Finals, other than the big attendance at Speedweek?






















And finally, Twin Tesla motors. Showed up late, Did anyone see it run?

 

The thing I love about salt racing is there are no cookie-cutter cars.
Check all the fresh video on YT, etc. There were some great runs this year.

 

y’sguy…..the weather. world finals its 70-75 max and 60 in the morning for back up runs and you can haul ass if your naturally aspirated on gasoline. .. less entries ….little waiting.. no rat rods… fewer looked-loos but I’m ok with them anytime. …rain or snow on the way home sometimes to clean the truck and trailer….
I’ll try to think of more..oh WWWWAAAAAAAYYYYYY cheaper rooms and no waiting to eat..

 

Cool pics...feel free to share more!

 

^^^X2^^^

 

Thanks for posting!

 

Thank You, Run what you brung as long as it passes Tech!

 

Cool - Thanks

 

Awesome thanks for sharing

 

Excellent pictures.

 

What's that swoopy lil silver job in the upper left of this pic? Looks FAST!!!
Great pics. I'm gonna go one year.

 

@y'sguy , thanks for the shots, please post more. You have a few good examples of fire doors on several of the cars. This started as a requirement a few years back

 

This year was my first time there. 30 years almost of wanting to be there. It truly is the last real grass roots racing on the planet done only for the love of it. Unsoiled by corporate sponsorship and money, with the best people in the world. Also the most pristine porta pottys on the planet.

 

We had issues a few years back with nasty porta potties, this new company does a good job. Still a good idea to hit em early before the sun starts baking them

 

yeah but if you went in them in the afternoon, you could be in there for a few minutes, and when you came out it it felt like the AC was on!

 

Thanks for the great pictures.

 

The silver car in the upper right is probably the Stringfellow/Kirk car that crashed during speedweek . It is or was a beautifully built car that has had some bad luck.

 

2nd time crashing unfortunately, or am I mixing it up with that silver Caddy that crashed?

 

I'm pretty sure that was the car that was wrecked pretty bad at about the 2 mile.

 

Yes, it did crash. Also OT for the board

 

Thanks for great coverage.

 

Skip Pipes old roadster, he ran as a F/BFR. Built hell for stout. Glad to see it still using fuel…

 

Saw a non stock car like mine - same color - what is class DFCC and some specs to run in that class ?

 

The first letter is engine size. D is 261-305.99 cubic inches. The next letter is fuel type. G is for event gas, F is for "fuel". Pretty much run what ya bring in fuel class. The next letters are chassis class. CC is competition coupe. Extensive body modifications, heavily chopped top, streamlined nose, belly pans, etc. $10 buys you a current rulebook from SCTA. It will keep you entertained for many hours or a lifetime.

 

Happened in 2010.

 

Thanks for all the great pics!

 

No and I didn't hear it either.

 

Thanks......will do !

Very, very cool Bonneville story, by Jay Meagher...off topic engine. Cool streamliner and 29A roadster.
ENJOY!
