UPDATE: Just talked with my friend in Boise, ID. I will be driving from Kent, WA to Boise, ID on Sunday (500 miles). Made resevations at Motel 6 in Wendover, UT. Monday, plan to drive from Boise and go straight to the Salt (300 miles). I will set up and go though Tech Insp, then to Motel to check in. Then back to Salt to check on ride condition and apparent elevation. Although Bonneville is 4500 ft elevation I was told the atmosphic conditions will make it effectivley between 7000 and 11000 ft! Plan to do my Speed Runs in the morning! First Speed Run will be Tuesday morning!
They say Bonneville is the most difficult place in the world to break records... Last year 80.112mph was my speed. Guys told me that was good for my first time on the Salt. I made a few changes for this years attempt!
I will be taking camera and laptop this year so hope to give updates each day!
