[Fot] TR3 @ Bonneville

[N197TR4 at cs.com]

It would be interesting if the FoT got behind this effort in some way.

Bonneville would be one of my 50s dreams to be there...more so if I could run 
it with a finished AMBRO.  

Vicarious involvement might be sufficient.

Just saw THE WORLD'S FASTEST INDIAN for the first time. fun movie.
