Bonneville or Bust



Imagine a place so flat you seem to see the curvature of the planet, so barren not even the simplest life forms can exist. Imagine the passing thunder of strange vehicles hurtling by on a vast dazzling white plain. This is not an alien world far from earth; it is Utah's famous Bonneville Salt Flats, and Attebury Street Rods is on their way! (Description from www.utah.com)

From Thursday, August 6th to Friday, August 14th we will be attending and participating in Speed Week 2009 courtesy of SCTA. Ron, Matt Dowd and Chet Thomas will debut their Gas Rear-Engine Modified Roadster in the C/GRMR class.

It has been a long nine months of hard labor, relentless motivation and not to mention team work. Countless hours have been put into what is affectionately know as “Salty” who is anxiously awaiting his birth coming this Thursday. We hope he’s a kicker and a screamer, and what he’s showed us so far he’s pointing in that direction and we love it.

Salty is a collaboration of Ron, Matt and Chet’s desire to get back behind the wheel and get their names in the record books. It never would have been possible without all three parties involved and not to mention all the family and friends who have helped along the way.

Stay tuned for race results, photos and our experience from the Salt.
We can't wait to come down with SALT FEVER!
