Bonneville: The Expirience

I am a life long NASCAR fan, and have been to the PIR race every year for the past decade +.  I am blown away by Bonneville.  Where as every other form of racing has been dominated by manufacturers and money, here is racing and hot rodding where there is room for everyone.  The car made of junk yard scraps next to the multi-million dollar streamliner.  And everyone has a chance to win.  I saw cars that came out of the gate looking like they'd be lucky to break 110 and go over 200, and I saw the multi-million dollar streamliner never be able to get the engine up to song and had to pull off at the half mile mark.  There are surprises everywhere.  I've had a dream of running my 1965 F-100 here powered by a vintage 352 FE engine, what do I find in the pits?  A 1963 F-100 powered by a 292 Y-Block.  Here at Bonneville there is room for everything and everyone.  It is a hot rodders heaven.  Due to financial constraints I do have to miss the NASCAR race @ PIR this year, but I am not really missing anything, am I.  :-)
