We parked in the same area with the supercharged Packard 8 for a few days. He was from Salt Lake and was driving out each day. One day some guys in a late model Ford pickup pulled up to check out the lakester. They asked how fast he was going when he passed them. He said he didn't know because he didn't have a speedometer but he said he had lots of throttle left and a gear to go. They said they were doing a little over 90. I think Packard 6 or 8 would be a good choice.
Totally off the subject: The guy who had the green van in the last picture brought his 13-14 year old daughter. On our second day when he opened the back door a grasshopper jumped out onto the salt. We laughed, she almost cried because she cared. Several grown men chased it out on to the service road and captured it. The girl cared for it the rest of the day and released it in a more grasshopper friendly area that evening.
