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!
