Wes,
My information said it's 4216 feet about where the starting line is. 
About 10 miles
toward Floating Mountain it's 3-4 feet higher so everyone is running uphill.
Ricks instrument's measure Density Altitude etc.


Mayf,
I've seen big money (Honda & GM) show up at Bonneville and after a week
of trying, look rather silly. The young  JCB folks I talked to should do 
well.
They all were smart enough to understand that they were in an alien
environment that had  unusual requirements. Honda & GM both thought
they knew a lot more than those amateur Hot Rodders.
They were fun to watch.

Bryan
Does anyone know if Goodyear will sell the JCB tyres?
