Default Some pics from Bonneville

We are out at the salt flats for the next few days for the World of Speed. We prepped the RS4 for the 130 Club this year.

We're working on a project with the Discovery Channel. We'll be using my car for a segment that will be part of a new series. The film crew arrived today and we'll be filming today and tomorrow.

It's beautiful weather. The salt is dry and hard which makes for fast speeds.

When will Discovery air the program? Better yet, a title series to look for?

What prepping is involved. Seems like that'd be no big deal for your car.

Default Probably safety tech restrictions. :-(

No offense to John, but I don't see much excitement in running the 130 class in a car that you could fall asleep in at 160 mph.
