THIS YEARS “A-SALT ON THE SALT" COULD PROVE TO BE OUR BEST YET .
CONSIDERING IT’S THE 60th ANNIVERSARY EVEN WITH GAS PRICES SCARING SOME OF THOSE UNINFECTED WITH “SALT FEVER" THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE A RECORD NUMBER OF ENTRIES AND IT MAY BE HARD TO REPEAT LAST YEAR'S 11 RUNS .
THE FUN WILL START WITH THE DRIVE OUT .

RICHIE ( THE FOOD GUY ) WILL HAVE ONE OF HIS VINTAGE "SCOOTS" ALONG FOR THE RIDE , TAKING IT OUT OF THE BOX TO STRETCH IT’S LEGS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE , MY BEAT UP OLE 575 COUPE WILL BE MAKING IT’S FIFTH TRIP TO BONNEVILLE , THE RACE CAR WILL BE IN THE BOX AND KEITH WILL BE LEADING THE WAY WITH HIS NASTY 59 THREE WINDOW FOR IT’S FIFTH TRIP ALSO .
WE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED
THE EVIL PROFESSOR BILLY – O HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH THE FEVER . THROUGHOUT THE LONG EAST COAST WINTER MONTHS HE AND A FEW COHORTS HAVE BEEN MIXING UP A BREW IN SOME DIRTY , DANK , MUSTY , HOLE WHICH IS SURE TO HAVE THE WALLS LINED , NOT WITH HOT ROD PICTURES , NO WITH HALF , NO CHECK THAT , FULLY NAKED PICTURES OF GIRLS . THEY CALL THEMSELVES “ THE ROLLING BONES HIGH SPEED DIVISION “ AND THINK JUST BECAUSE THEY GOT ONE OF THEM NEW FANGLED OVERHEAD ENGINES STUFFED INTO SOME KIND OF THING THAT LOOKS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN A COUPE AND A ROADSTER THEY WILL BRING THE SALT TO THE SHAKER .
NOT ONLY THAT , THEY HAVE ISSUED US ( THE ROLLING BONES LOW SPEED DIVISION ( THEIR NAME FOR US ) A CHALLENGE:
HE HAS MADE THE STATEMENT “ WE WILL RUN TWENTY FIVE MILES AN HOUR FASTER THAN YOUR BEST RUN BY THE END OF THE FOURTH DAY OF RACING WITH FOOD AND DRINK FOR THE ENTIRE TEAM FOR THE ENTIRE NIGHT ON THE LINE .
HOW FOOLISH TO ANGER THE GHOSTS OF THE SALT.
PLUS WE HAVE A COUPLE OF TRICKS UP OUR SLEEVE .
1 – OUR ENGINE CREW CHIEF, JIM FLEMMING, HAS TAKEN OUR RACE ENGINE INTO HIS LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS OVER THE WINTER AND HAS PERFORMED MANY EVIL ACTS UPON IT .
2 – HOT ROD CATS OWNER ERIC BROWN IS BUILDING ONE OF HIS HEALTHY FLATHEAD ENGINES FOR US TO START THE WEEK OUT WITH . IT WILL BE A BONNEVILLE PROVEN ENGINE AND BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF THE WEEK FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS OR NEEDS THE TRUE “HOT ROD ENGINE" FOR THEIR HOT ROD . www.hotrodcat.com
