The movie crew for the Burt Munro (SP?) movie has set up most of their
scenery on the salt flats. They will have the prop cars and all there on
the 6th of October. Filming is scheduled to start on the 7th. There's
going to be thirty or so 1962 vintage Bonneville cars on the set. some will
be running, many will just be used as props in the pits. They've been
sorting out numbers and covering graphics to be as authentic as possible
Ron Christensen has been working with the crew to make things look to be
close to his 1962 salt photos. I'm going to need to go out there next week
just to see the cars they have collected for the filming. Should be a
"Blast from the Past" kind of experience.
One thing they have not been able to find is a 1962 event tee-shirt. Anyone
know where they could fine one or a good photo of one? Contact Ron at
ron.christensen@wsapr.com if you can help.
