Bubba,
Welcome to the world of Bonneville Salt Flats racing! A few tips
before you actually hit the salt: 1. Wear a hat. 2. Put sun screen
UNDER your nose. 3. Drink lots of water. 4. Don't pick a fight with
the timer!
On the salt, Glen is the one in the air conditioned "Crystal Palace"
who makes sure the rest of us get timed and stay out of trouble. He
totally runs the meet from his cushioned chair. He takes a lot of
flack from those who know him well but he does a great job of getting
times on lots of runs in the course of too few days.
Calling names and using bad language on this list is not only bad taste
and offensive but between certain people it is very much an inside
thing. Kind of like one black guy calling another one a name that
would get a white guy stomped in the same circumstances. You just have
to know who the people are.
People in the land-speed community are among the brightest and best in
the racing world but as several folks on this list have found out it's
better to do something on the "great white dyno" before shooting off
your mouth. One of those old fashioned situations where you EARN
respect and a big mouth isn't the way to do it. "It ain't braggin' if
ya done it" is the best way to explain it. Otherwise you can learn a
lot on this list if you just ask questions, learn from the answers and
respect the years of experience behind the red and blue hats many on
this list have earned by doing.
