"SNOT ROD FROM CARS'
Yay, almost there!
Snow in August? Nope it's all salt.
Photoshoot? Magazine Ad?
Cool old Ford with Salt all over it.
There isn't supposed to be water here...
Brand new Porsche 911 Turbo that costs almost as much as our house!
Me and babe exploring the high desert together
Lance using his super powers to throw a huge rock.
Rays of sunshine "yet more evidence the earth is warming, thanks Al"
Easy for boys to pee but I need a smelly porta-potty.
Awesome picture of rain clouds. Global warming and global cooling in the same hour...weird que music from X files
Lance exploring, we tried playing baseball.
Babe exploring
"No No you do it like this Babe"
Our little caveman trying to start a fire.
Lance showing us salt, our favorite pic from the trip.
This guy let our kids sit on the motorcycle. Lance has a proud look while Babe has a "don't mess with my bike "look on his face, LOL
This bike fits me perfectly mom. Babe doesn't need no stinkin hands.
The guy that owned the motorcycle started it up and put it in gear while he revved the bike. Lance says he wasn't scared but his face was white as a sheet.
We weren't planning on camping but we did. The sleeping setup wasn't ideal to say the least.
IMAGINE THAT! A 2 year old not wanting to sleep at 1am. After about an hour of playing "quietly", he went to sleep. Evil pic because it's so dark.
Driving through slush... water and salt before the sun came up.
I think this used to be a Ford model T but it's cooler this way. It didn't take much to pass him in our Dodge supervan, LOL The salt flats are super flat thus the name. They are about 11 miles long. This is one of the few places on the planet you can see the curvature of the earth.
The girl that rode this bike almost broke the record for that 50cc class at 36 mph. If you look closely you can see pedals like a moped. Burt Monro of "The Worlds Fastest Indian" fame used to use this motorcycle to run around town. Watch the movie if you get a chance, he still holds several records but much faster than 36 mph with different bikes.
The girl that rides this bike "Kim" is 21 years old. 36 mph is pretty fast considering how small the engine is. There were lots of cool machines to be seen.
I want to ride this one!
This "used" to be a CRX. They broke a record at over 155 mph while we were there. This is on a stock block engine.
Over 200 mph!
This is the same car as in the movie "Cars", the blue dynoco car. Actually it is a special edition car called a Superbird of Nascar fame. It will do 200 and the wing on the rear is there to keep it on the ground, look close you will see it.
Bikes are sexy even without their clothes on.
Lance tasting the salt....for the 50th time, lol
Babe tasting the salt..YUCK
Hot Rod magazine record of 249.832 mph even though it's shaped like a brick.
Here is team Vesco's #444 which has been 458 mph. They are true legends out there. It wasn't running for the race this year but they will be back.
I'm sure this is fast!
Funny shirt!
Cool painted wheels.
Corvette went 200 mph
This guy spun out going really fast but was ok.
The salt was thin here and the semi broke through into the mud below. It's bad when the tow truck gets stuck too!
