I went to Bonneville for the first time to see my husband Jim Webb and great
friends race under the name, "Chock Full O'Nuts". I got to be on the Flats
when Jim set a record for the team's production truck (527 A/PP).
We're from the very humid Texas Gulf coast, so the dry heat was quite a
change. I loved the experience and
preserved a few memories by writing the 2 Top Ten lists that follow.
Thanks for a great time.
