Ok guys this is one thing on my bucket list that I will forfill next year 2011 in August.
I am at this time asking anyone who wants to come along,I am not going to organize the whole thing ,if you want to go just book a room in Wendover Nevada,I have stayed there before and it's a very nice little place.
I'm asking anyone who feels like going,and - or might be retired ,like Midnightrider,Serowbot,I will call Gort and invite him, I have e mailed the guy that runs things and asked if I can race a buddy who has a 250 Ninja, I will tell you his response when I get one.
It's pretty thrilling to know we are racing on hallowed ground,can you guys emagen ,we will actually be riding and driving the same sand that Burt Munroe raced on.
I WILL be going next year come hell or high water,please join me.

I hope you see records broken & have a great time. It would be EXREMELY cool to be allowed to run on the salt flats! Thats Hallowed Ground right there. I'd love to go, but ( Fill in with whatever you find to be an irritating excuse).

Allrite! Worst I can do is disappoint 90% of the time!  Im missing a finger..

Mick, go down there driving a Zamboni.
You could set the world land speed record for Zamboni and help repair the divots caused by past racers at the same time.

Mick its a great idea. I'll start saving some money  

What the Hell is a Zamboni? Does it have 2 wheels or four? Does it have a Carb? Will we need Lancer? I still have my racing leathers, I might be able to get into em. Dont have to worry about blowin my hair back  

Very nice lookin triumphs,nice pictures ,Midniderider as far as I know a Zamboni is a machine that goes around a ice skating rink cleaning and resurficing the ice,to make it smooth for the second half.
This is the time of year when all the crazy's come out and try there hand at breaking world records,both 4 wheels and 2. the Famous
Burt Monroe did his thing on "The worlds fastest Indian"
Lots of history ,I did drive by a few times when I was trucking.
Wendover is just over the Utah / Nevada line,and a nice place for a few drinks and a little gambling.
I did speak to Gort and he said he couldn't make it ,had some peronel issues to take care off,he has been there a few times ,and says it would be a fun trip.
Still it's a year away, they also have stuff going on in Utah I'm not sure of the name of the place ,but they have vintage bike racing ,
I would give my left nut to hear a Manx Norton with an open megaphone and burning "Castrol R" , I don't even know if they sell that any more ?,if they do I'm going to get a quart and drop it on my Bar-B-Q a teaspoon at a time,Ah music to my nose.

Interesting Doc,I wonder if Tinkers cuss is diferent from a tinkers dam ? I asked my Mum what it meant many years ago, we lived in Oxford England there were many Gypsies around ,they would go and knock on doors trying to sell odds and ends mostly pots and pans,clothes pins (wooden) ,generally they were nice people with very bright clothing ,however if you did not buy the smallest thing like a box of matches for a penny ,they would put a curse on you and your family, these curses were concidered quite lethal and to ignore them was taking a big risk, they would go so far as to put secret markings on your fence that only other gypsies could read,the to would ad to the curse .
So if you really did not care a tinkers cuss ,you put your self way out on a limb.And you really really did not give a sh1t..

Ps, A tinker is a door to door salesman,usually selling household items.
usually Gypsies.
