If anyone Is interested the Rolling Bones will be heading to the salt with their "worlds fastest Y-Block" again this year. I know a couple of you expressed an interest. This is the travel schedule for the entire trip. I can post information on the food kitty along with the breakdown trailer if you are driving. We will be staying at the Wendover Nugget hotel and casino and there are informal cruise nights there throughout the week. If you are planning to go you probably need to make reservations now. There are numerous hotels and casino's around but the Nugget is where the action is. Let me know if you intend to travel with us and I'll inform Ken and Keith at the Rolling Bones.
