The funny thing is this really is a bit of a Bonneville Tradition as the
Name often goes in the Record book... Might as well have something
interesting.
Brad gets credit for coming up with the So-Al Special.... I get credit for
executing the idea....it was just fun.... had a Poster of the So-Cal belly
tank on the wall and the Statement below it was " History has a Strange way
of repeating itself" he said it I instantly understood how much fun we
could have with it... and we have had a Ball messing with them So Cal boys
who think they got the Name First.... just to much Fun...
