The World's Fastest Indian is here!
« on: February 20, 2006, 11:17:06 AM »

on saturday night i was talking to 'ski' and the gang down stairs about the world's fastest indian movie and how on their website it listed a very limited number of theaters that were actually going to play it.  in fact, there wasn't a single theater in colorado listed.  well i guess that must have been for the first releases because its playing at tinseltown now.  needless to say, i am VERY excited about seeing this flic.  this is probably the first time the bonneville salt flats have actually gotten any kind of real 'attention'.  for those of you who don't know i've been involved in land speed racing all my life.  i get giddy about land speed stuff like scooter gets giddy about kanine golden showers.  anyone interested in a group viewing?

Doesn't look like it'll be playing up here in D-Town, so let me know when you guys are planning on going.

Bummer, if it's tonight, I can't make it.  I'm meeting a friend of mine in Denver.  Any other night of the week for 7:40 would work for me though.

just need to figure out what time.  i don't think the times listed during the week and the same as the ones for the weekend.  so i think we'll have to wait until the day of to get the actual time.

not a problem, only concern is that if its too late then I will really hate having to drive back up here.

This of course is assuming I don't wind up having to work SAT like I always do.

Here is a pretty cool quote i came across when i was reading up on this chap...
Burt is quoted as follows:-"At the Salt in 1967 we were going like a bomb. Then she got the wobbles just over half way through the run. To slow her down I sat up. The wind tore my goggles off and the blast forced my eyeballs back into my head - couldn't see a thing. We were so far off the black line that we missed a steel marker stake by inches. I put her down - a few scratches all round but nothing much else". At the time Burt was traveling at close to 206 mph!
came from here...

Thought it was cool cuz the movie showed this...
