You have it all right!  I'm sure there is a club that will take someone from out of state, as it is the club Charlie and I belong to is a ways away from us and we are lucky to attend two meetings a year.  You can check into it, the clubs are all listed in the rule book.  Look at what the class record is for your car, if you think it's within reach it might be worthwhile.

Thanks Tim I think you may have answered my question for me. Looks like the Elmo record for C/CPRO is 205 and some change not much of a chance in Hell of running 200 with a 55 ford Naturally aspirated. As a guest assuming normal turn out and the track and weather holding up would 2-4 passes for the weekend be feasible. Any how last question and I will un hijack you thread.

Tim.  Thanks for posting the video.  Now that I’ve driven down the straightaway at Bonneville, I can definitely relate.  Great video.  Keep ‘em coming.

Ha Ha!  I just noticed the length of the video, didn't even plan it that way.  I think this is the second time it has happened.

Edit:  I just noticed this one says 3:13 the other day it said 3:12.  Oh well, I always tell people that the engine in the '58 is a 313 (+.060 292 with a 312 crank)

Anyone make a 150 mph rated studed snow tire? Seems I read about a guy trying to run 150 with a street camero and he found some and it helped with the traction problem.

They might shoot me if I ran something like that on the lake bed.

That's about what I was thinking, maybe just some sort of dirt tire.



Is there anything that can be determined about the aerodynamics by the dust trail? Maybe have someone take some hi res photos during your next run to see if there may be anything you can adjust while keeping within the class rules.
