Author Message   Snail Posted on Saturday, January 24, 2004 - 09:49 pm:        Anybody stirring around in their shops, tinkering and dreaming of next summer? Heard a rumor there might be a sanctioned event at Bonneville for money! Me? I'm working on a plan.   Blake Posted on Saturday, January 24, 2004 - 11:09 pm:        First CMRA race is coming up on weekend of Feb 22nd. I've got a lot of work to do to prepare for that.   Crusty Posted on Sunday, January 25, 2004 - 08:05 am:        "Dennis Manning has cut a deal with the BLM to reserve the Bonneville Salt Flats for five racing events during the next five years. Called the BUB Bonneville Bash(first date-Sept.5-10,2004), the event will include AMA and FIM record attempts for motorcycles only. This is a first for LSR bike racers. who typically have shared the salt with car racers during sanctioned events." "...The event will pay money, too-another first for LSR racers. The proposed pay out should include: $10,000 for Top Speed of the meet $10,000 for Top Street Bike $5,000 forcc/mph(i.e.: a 100cc bike going 150mph could win this). $5,000 for Top American V-Twin. $5,000 for top Non-American V-Twin. In addition,several sponsors have agreed to kick in contingency money, too, among them Gerald Rinehart who posted $5,000 for the fastest bike to use his exhaust system..."

What you talking about Snail ??. It is summer already and only 38 days till I leave for the salt. I am strating to get a small idea of what you need to go through with preparation etc. With the added complication of having to be self sufficent (food, water shelter etc) for 6 people. It will be fun.
