Speed Week 2006 at Bonneville Speedway

Obviously Speed Week was a blast!  The sun was brutal, as were the vehicles that showed up there to tear up the salt.  Scott Clark (DieselGeek), Mike Higginson and I met up out there along with Gary and Sandy Hart and their mean 53' Studebaker, and their buddies Mike and Richard Collison who were driving Gary's 1950 Buick.  A great time (and a bit of sunburn) was had by all.  Mike Collison set a new record in the Buick for the XXO Blown Fuel Comp Coupe class, and Gary qualified for a record but had a freak issue with a coolant hose that stopped him from backing it up.  There is more info on this (and a video of his first run) on Gary's page here.

Here's Gary ready to run in the 'Stude a la MegaSquirt

And here's Gary's Buick that Mike Collison drove for a new record.

This is pretty brutal racing, and awesome to be a part of even though I didn't get to drive ;(.  I can't wait for the next event!
