Setting in a hotel in Rock Springs, wyoming on the way to Bonneville to play with flatheads and y blocks. Going to be a great week! XF rocks!

Lucky YOU :) !
I've driven past the 'monument' out on the highway that passes by, but have never been fortunate to be where the fun is. Have fun and good luck playing !
 
Went to the lake of speed in '12, and the salt conditions were marginal, but they ran. Trust they don't get washed out like '14 & '15. Anyone no what the salt conditions are like this year. A local racer from Mass is heading out with his record holding flathead roadster, looking to get the modified record this year with a new nose,

Russ saw Mcgooch on the way out. Hes looking for new record. Andy and crew are half day behind us, see you tomorrow. Thanks for0 all the good wishes... Salt condition remains excellent.
 
It is a place unto itself, on several levels. went there in '63 to check it out. Went again in '65 and ran a '63 Falcon 260 to 139+,, neat time.
 
Good to hear the conditions are good, Keep and eye on Ken Makuch the current record holder in flathead powered roadster class. Ken is going after the Modified record which he already beat in the roadster class in 2013. He has been chomping at the bit for the last 2 years because of the rainouts and salt conditions. Ken had a Indy type nose built for the roadster by Dan Curley, Curley Racing, as an alternative to the deuce shell. Wish you all a safe trip and runs.
 
Have fond memories of our trip to the salt with you and the rest of the Bones crew in 2013. Wish we were there with you. Have fun and safe journey
