zgeezer Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hi Gollum I noticed you were from Vacaville, I used to live there. Grew up in Fairfield, FFHS graduate. Small world. I lived in Vacaville across from the Buck mansion, solo'd out of the Nut Tree Airport, taught at Vanden HS, and practiced law with Solano County Legal Services. Drove Fiat 124 Sport Coupes and I still eat at Murrillos in old town Vacaville. The town lost much of its character when the garlic/onion drying facility shut down. You could identify Vacaville at 10,000 feet by the pungent smell of onions or garlic. Still, a very nice place to live. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSALT Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 well another not so good year 209mph and a burned piston, course was very slippery, although we didn't set any records and hurt our motor we still had a great time. Bonneville is a special place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Sorry to hear, but at least no one was hurt and the car isn't damaged beyond repair. One day I'll make it out to speed week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 209mph = a bad year? I won't go that fast EVER in all my life. I think you guys are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSALT Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments, I know the car will do 225mph+, we just have to do it 2 times in a row. course was very slippery this year. not only does your car have to be performing, the course needs to be good also. no excuses, everyone has to deal with it.
