I had one hour of sleep during the first forty-two hours I was there. But, a chance to head to the salt forthe weekend isn't to be missed, especially a ride with a good friend of mine who owns his own shop and has work in several of the cars there. Highs:Hannah's long-awaited streamliner and the handful of lakesters. Lows: Having to come home while the races went on. Lots of shots, so here's thephotobucket...<br><br>http://s996.photobucket.com/albums/af89/bonneville2009/

Ryan, that was awesome flipping through your pics. What an amazing variety of iron and engineering that come out for Bonneville. I have ALWAYS wanted to gothere and know that Andrew and I would have an incredible time taking it all in. What fun! thanks for sharing.<br>Pat

Absolutely killer pics! I too want to go there with my son one day!

I like the "Old Crow" cigar speedster, the lone red Econoline truck, '53 Ford 2-dr and '34 Ford truck.<br>Thanks

The red Ford was really clean; a driver.

Wow, awesome - I love any kind of salt flat racers!! Thanks so much for posting the pics. Too many highlights to mention, but my favorite (naturally) has gotto be the little Honda 600 - HA! What kinda' speed are they getting out of that anyway - 79.3 mph? Another question that occurred to me... what kind ofengines do they use in the drop-tank cars? It's got to be something smallish, an inline motor for sure...

Bonneville speed week is on my bucket list. Thanks for posting the pics.---mike<br>
