Erik,
There is absolutly no driving of a race vehicle under power other than on the
race track. Most people will either coast to the return road with the power
off or if you cannot carry enough speed drive to the return road. When on the
return road the engine MUST be off. My question is how are you going to get
your race car and trailer to Bonneville if you don't have a tow vehicle?

I have a question regarding the Return Road policy at Bonneville . I will be
a first time racer there in 2003 , I am prepping a car for the G\BGALT class .
I have a friend who races a Lakester at Bonneville . I read in the rulebook (
2002 rulebook ) page 10 section 1.L under Participant Conduct " Driving /
Riding a competition vehicle under power on the return road is strictly
prohibited " . I assumed this meant that ALL vehicles had to be towed back to
the starting line down the return road , but I asked my Friend Gaines ( He
Runs a B/GL Lakester ) about it , he said most people drive under their own
power back up the return road , and he said other than driving safely , you
must observe the 50 mph speed limit. When he told me this It seemed to be a
relief because I don't have enough room in my trailer to bring a tow vehicle .
If you can clear this up for me , I would appreciate it .
