Anyone have a spare room or two , 3.5 Kiwis ,Yes one is only .5 as he lives in Aussie ? Need rooms for 5 nights & casinos say all booked out ??? so suspect some might have booked but not going, ?

Been before a number of times & always been able too book a bed , Please help if you can , Regards Derek antiqueford@xtra.co.nz
 
Did you check for accommodations in Tooele or Salt Lake City, Utah? They are about 1.5 hrs east of Bonneville.
 
David no not at this stage , preffer to be local if we can . Its early days yet & someone may cancel out,, Thanks
 
Salt Lake is a long drive from Bonneville when you are racing. Derek, try looking on the Landracing Forum. People post on there a lot when they can not make it and have rooms to give up. Good luck this year. I am still going to try and make it even though I wont be on a team this year. Mark. http://www.landracing.com/forum/
 
I have heard you can camp right near the site in a winnebago.

That would suit me far better when I go than a flea trap motel .
 
Watch the movie 'The World's Fastest Indian' it involves an Australian main character and Bonneville. VERY good film you'll like it. True story makes it even better.

Whoops well I was kinda close. Thought the movie mentioned him to be Australian I'll blame that slip up on Hollywood!
 
I bet Hollywood nicked him Burt too.

Burt is the yank spelling , and Bert is the OZ/Kiwi spelling as it is short for Herbert .

I could be wrong, but his short name does look 'Americanized ' .
 
Jeeze maybe we should have a Ford Barn get together one night for a meal & lie & Bragg. Any starters ???? We could just name a restraunt & a time , Sounds good to me. Nice sunny late Autum day in NZ
