I remember as a kid some of the land speed battles; the Green Monster, Spirit of America, etc. I wanted to go the salt lake races very badly. Heck, I'm mid 50's now and still want to go out there. One of these days I'll have to make it happen.

I ticked it off my bucket list back in ‘05 iirc. Quite an experience, you need to go. Stu
