Another daydreamer joins the forum

[nitro-nige]

Hi Guys & Girls,

Though I'd intro myself.
I'm a transplanted kiwi living in Melbourne. I've been to Bonneville and seen the racing there (2001). I met up with a couple of kiwi teams racing over there that year. I think I caught salt fever then.

I'm half way through building a hot rod, so who knows when/if I'll start a salt car.
My plan is to visit the salt here and run in street class. Then maybe build that car up into something like an altered or competition coupe.
Being a hot rodder ultimately I'd like to run a fuel roadster.

Like I say though I'm just a day dreamer a present, doing plenty of sketches on the back of scrap paper at work (my paper lakester should break the sound barrier!!!).
So hold on for lots of stupid questions.

Fingers crossed I make it out onto the salt and run one day.

Welcome aboard Nitro,
Sorry to have to tell you this - you may want to sit down - there's no cure for Salt Fever. And it seems to intensify each year, around about March.
In Melbourne there's a couple of club meetings each year. One in Feb and the other mid-year. Come along, for some fever group therapy.

Welcome Nige.

Tell us about your Hot Rod, what have you got going there? Trad or mod?

Do you remember Paul Hogan's character Nigel who had the petrol driven skateboard and Nazi helmet?

Hey Reverend

I'm a short way into building a T-Bucket.
If it was something a bit more Aero I would consider a salt lake race rod.
As for the style.. well kinda mod.
