Bonneville...but first..The Nuggets informal hot rod show

 So, we made it to the big white Dyno...another tick off the list, as they say..
 Les W in his best Texan attire....we made a quick trip out onto the salt, but had to slip back to town to secure our accommodation at the Nugget casino...and knowing that the hot rods would be there..
 driven!.....that's the deal with these die-hards..come from all over, and don't mind a lick of salt here n there.
