Lots of us are doing both. We're leaving a couple of days before the "official" end of SpeedWeek and heading stright to the HAMB Drags. It will be a couple of long, hard days on the road BUT well worth it for sure.

Will you have a car at B'ville?

Yep I will be there along with a whole bunch of Kiwis who are going to support ten or more New Zealand teams racing on the salt.

Kiwi teams hold a bunch of records, Hogan ,Martin & Rea (XF/BFR) , Casey Hill ( several ) and Harris Family racing who entered the 200mph club last year .

See you on the salt !!

hotrodladycrusr · 12-12-2007, 02:55 PM

In 2003 I met a bunch of Kiwi's who were also staying at the Motel 6. I was talking to the caretaker of the guy who owned of one of the race cars who was there in a wheelchair. Forget the name. Sound fimilar?

Yup that's Chris Harris, Harris Family Racing , he got his "wheels" in an accident racing on the salt, but still goes back nearly every year, his son Lincoln races the roadster now and took a new record last visit ( 2006) and entered the 200mph club, in fact from memory he raised the record from about 210 to nearly 230 in his class. C/ GR ( gas roadster ) .

hotrodladycrusr · 12-12-2007, 03:54 PM

GREAT, then for sure we will run into each other on the Salt or in the motel/hotel parking lots.

I am making the trip over from Australia (first time in US), will be there from early August for about 6 weeks. Trying to plan the trip to see as many events as possible. Love to catch both these events. I have no idea of distance between them (need to do some research) It will be my honeymoon so have to please the other half with Touristy things too

Tell her how beautiful it is out driving through Barstow, along the edge of the Mojave , all the great stuff to see in Nevada and how big and beautiful the salt flats are.

(Don't tell her it's like crossing the Nullarbor. )

Then drive 1325 miles across America with a bunch of hoodlums for a quiet weekend at an out of the way down home town in Missouri.

Then duck if she reads this....

Just a quick note, Mo-Kan dragway is a only few miles from my house (yea, we had it rough growing up on old U.S. 66, HARDY HAR HAR).So if anyone needs stuff for the wifeys I can get brochures or whatever for local stuff. And if needed I can always go open the shop up if somebody just has to have some tire work. Anyway, here's a few local towns.
