Keep that right pedal....FLOORED!

Hot Rod Legends and Hero’s…we’re losing them way too fast here lately gearheads!

Just this week we learned of the passing of ArtChrisman. Artwas one of those guys whohelped lay the foundation for hot rodding aswe know it today, butthen he built on it too.

Think about it…back in 1955 there was no 1-800-ebaymeapart. If one of the few speed equipment companies didn’t have what you needed, guess what…you had to design it and MAKE IT!

Art was one of those guys, just doing what was needed in the

pursuit of more speed and power.

Art was the 5th person to clock 200 mph on the salt. He was first to go 140 & then 180mph on a

drag strip. He won the first March Meet in Bakersfield CA.

I never met Art in person, butI sure wish Ihad. If fornothing elsebut to say

thank you to him, for helping create hot rodding, something I love so much.

I would encourage all of us, when we see these hot rod hero’s that we have read about over the years, to greet them and say thanks for what they did for all of us. It is the least we can do.

Thanks Art!

FOR RELEASE July 8, 2016 Contact: Louise Ann Noeth | lsl458mph@att.net

Bonneville Salt Flats, UT - - Strength

comes in numbers. Throughout the past

decade more than 1,000 amateur land

speed racing teams have attracted an

annual average of 10,000 family, friends

and fans to watch them hurtle across

the Bonneville Salt Flats earning speed

records with their handcrafted

mechanical marvels.

These thousands now join together in

unprecedented cooperation to heighten

awareness of the shameful, man-made

decline of the once majestic world

renown Bonneville Salt Flats, a National

Historic place. For decades the historic

racetrack was more than 13 miles long,

but in 2015, racers were unable to

identify a 3-mile track.

These recreational users, ordinary

people performing extraordinary speed

deeds, have spent decades alerting

public land guardians, the Bureau of

Land Management (BLM) of unchecked

salt loss and contamination problems.

Their complaints have been mostly

ignored while permitting mining

companies to continually shrink and thin

the salt crust of what was once the

“Fastest Place on Earth.”

Speed attempts are hosted annually by

four organizations: Southern California

Timing Association (SCTA), Utah Salt

Flats Racing Association (USFRA),

Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials

(BMST) and Land Speed Events

(LSE). This high-speed quartet strongly

support Save the Salt and the Utah

Alliance requests that restoration efforts

be implemented without further delay in

order to ensure future generations can

not only witness historic events, but

continue to break records.

SCTA President Bill Lattin:

“Since 1949, our volunteer organization

has been sanctioning Land Speed

Racing Events at the Bonneville Salt

Flats. We made it possible for countless

people from all over the world to have a

safe environment in which to achieve

their goals and earn their place in the

record books. The maintenance and well

being of the salt flats are at the very core

of our existence. The efforts of Save the

Salt and the Utah Alliance are essential

to achieving that goal.”

USFRA President Dennis Sullivan:

“Our volunteer group was founded to

justify the continued use of the

Bonneville Salt Flats as a racing venue

when the BLM determined that a single,

annual event did not justify its use.

From inception, USFRA has been

dedicated to its preservation and

restoration. Our club

members were founding members of

Save the Salt and The Utah Alliance.

We will continue to work with the other

land speed racers to preserve, protect

and restore the salt flats to safe racing

conditions.”

BMST Owner/Event Director Delvene

Manning:

“For more than a decade we have

provided a platform tailored exclusively

to the unique needs of motorcycles.

Through the participation of thousands

of motorcyclists more than 300 FIM

World Records and 730 AMA National

Records have been broken. The

advocacy work by Save the Salt and

The Utah Alliance ensures that our

American Motorcyclist Association Land

Speed Grand Championship will

continue.”

LSE Owner/Event Director Mike

Cook:

“Since 2006, we’ve provided certified

timing for FIA and FIM world record

attempts through association with the

USAC and the AMA. The Bonneville

Salt Flats is well known as the only

easily accessible racing surface in the

world where Americans and

international challengers can seek to

break existing and long-standing world

records.

Utah’s salt flats attract global attention

and respect for demonstrating

technological prowess. Challengers

have established more than 35 World

Records at our events that once

enjoyed the unique distinction of being

the fastest as well as the safest racing

venue in the world. We support the Utah

Alliance and the Save the Salt

Foundation efforts to restore and

preserve this extraordinary and uniquely

American natural treasure.”
