    It ain't new folks. My oldest brother, born in 1953, started filing taxes in the early 1970'ss and then all of a sudden one year he gets a letter to verify who he is. Turns out some how he was given the same SS number as someone 200 miles a way - and their names were in no way close.

  8. Salt Flats Were Nice Today

    I think what he is trying to say is that at the end of Bonneville Speedway Road is a cul-de-sac, with nothin' but salt flats, and a few mountains in the distance. And I topped out at my goal of 100 mph, running on mud terrains with a RTT that I think was starting to act as a wing as the...
  9. Portable Jump Starters

    only, only downside to my Noco GB50 is the light switch. Mine came in a carry bag, not hard case, and I placed something next to it and wouldn't you know they came in contact and the light turned on. Fortunately I found it before the pack was out of juice and I needed it. I do still have the...
