Thanks! Great video! I'm not a Camaro guy, I'd take the Plymouth Coupe in a heartbeat. But anything at Bonneville over rules my year, make, model prejudices.  That is a good-looking great sounding Camaro. He needs to talk to some of the guys at the local bar I frequent, all of their pickups go 150+.  This keeps looking like a better choice for fun runners than Speed Week which has gotten crazy in the last few years. Climate change is going to give us some more dry lakes. Every non rain cloud has a silver lining.

Is this the bar you're talking about?

No, I was thinking of the one closer to home.  But I was in that one last night. 
The VC guys only race Camels.

It's only June and already thinking of Bonneville.
Didn't get a good winter this year so im guessing the salt should be dry like last year. My schedule is clear for August and have a new 300mm lens .  Can't wait.

I'm still trying to decide. Too many things pile up at the end os summer.

Cause of Burden-gas I think this year I'll skip speedweek and just do the USFRA world of Speed in September 7-12th .
It still has the long course stuff and big speeds .
Having the trailer was nice to keep out of the sun 🌞.

Im almost tempted to head out there Friday night so I can see the sunrise on the salt.
Who knows what'll happen by September.

This all depends on possible rain this week .

It is so crazy that we can have months of drought and the one week it needs to be dry??? I can't go again this year. So near yet so far away.

In Salt Lake we got a pretty good storm and checking in on landracing.com it looks like they got a storm also.  Seldom seen slims truck has salt packed in the wheel wells. 😳

Looks like a no-go for me.  We'll see what Sept has to offer.

After work yesterday I wire brushed,  sanded and painted the trailers frame.
Reports from the salt says::;  there's a  inch of standing water at "lands end " from last night's storm and nobody is allowed on the salt right now.
Not canceled just postponed a few hours.

Well that confirms it for me,  was hoping to see the record return runs in the morning.  Oh well.
On a side note a fellow youtuber gave me a really nice tripod with a fluid head for super smooth footage. 
This monsoon weather should be over by September.

Officially canceled from last night's storm.

Bummer! The rain we've been getting here is welcome but I heard some "pretty car" guys bitching yesterday at Hot August nights. If you're that picky get an inclosed trailer. 

[Rattiac]

I guess I could've gone out and done recoveries.
Didn't even think about that till my boss said something this morning.

NO! You don't want to take a rig you plan to keep and run it it that brine. It gets everywhere water gets and the more pressure you use to get it off the further you drive it in. There are treatments but years later you'll know if they work or not. My pickup is suffering from 2008 & 2012. It seized the choke cable! I only hit a couple of patches of wet salt, no standing water.
