inducted into the Dry Lakes Racing Hall of Fame on April 30th in Buellton, CA.
He would be very much honored to be considered among this group of folks he
considered his racing heroes. He made his first trip to Bonneville for
Speedweek in 1954 to celebrate his high school graduation. There were a total
of 16 members of the 200mph club at that point, 10 of them American hot
rodders, and he would see two more added during the week. His goal became
getting in that club, which he achieved in 1978 driving his home built
Studebaker competition coupe to a 255.863mph record average. He continued to
demonstrate the Bonneville spirit with our families racing activities all the
way to the FIA category A, group I, class 11 record of 415.896mph in 2008.
> As part of the preparation for this event we have been asked to submit
stories, photos, and memories for a program to be used at the presentation.
Landspeed Louise Noeth will be assembling these inputs to print the programs
so please feel free to send your notes directly to her, or if she contacts
you, be free with your comments as they are intended for a good cause. There
are many of you that have other land speed racing associates that would be
willing to participate, which I do not have email addresses for. If you would
be so kind as to pass this request along to them so we can get them submitted
by February 15th.
