Son of Weldangrind, Bro-in-law and I spent Thursday on the salt. Spud was back at home when these pics were taken, so these are for you, Spud.





I was intrigued by this early Model A (1928 or 29), because it has "unslplit bones". Early racers used to split the wishbones (which locate the axles) and fabricate mounts on the frame. I've never seen unsplit bones in person.







Not sure what this was, but it sounded like it was about 50cc, and it took off like it was about that size.







These kind gentlemen camped next to us, and they happily answered all of my silly questions. They even offered us a chance to climb into the cockpit.



Bro-in-law.

That was the end of this leg of the journey. Spud, you're a fine gentleman. I'm very grateful for your excellent guide services, your fellowship and your faithful Zong.
