Bonneville!


,



Bonneville is hot rod mecca. There is just no other way to put it. I've never been to a car event before and seen so much cool stuff everywhere I looked. If you are a car guy or gal, this is a must go to event. You will not be disappointed. A group of local Rusty Nut'ers made the trip this year. One club member was also racing, but he finished up the day we arrived.

It is truly grass roots racing. If you have an idea, build it,and make it safe-you can race it. Everything in Bonneville is big. The pits are several miles long, the courses are several miles long, and for the first time there was 4 courses this year.

Our trip was cut short due to a nasty rain storm which brought out the most sticky and slippery mud I've ever encountered in the camp ground. Even our 4 wheel drive truck was considering getting stuck on flat ground. The salt took a few hours to dry out and since we couldn't go back to the camp site, we just headed for home and made plans to return next year.
