Happy New Year from Richard Parks and Roger Rohrdanz:
     Joan Denver Meyer, Bud's widow, is going to hold a Celebration of Life for Bud at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum on March 1, 2014, from 11 AM until 2 PM.  Further details will be published at www.landspeedracing.com as we hear about them.  Bud Meyer was the nephew of Indy 500 three-time winner Louie Meyer.  Bud was also a champion boat racer.
     Harry Pallenberg and Harold Osmer have produced a video called WHERE THEY RACED, about racing venues in Southern California.  You can see it at www.wheretheyraced.com I'm in the drag racing portion, but I won't win any Oscars.
     THE BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS: Two Decades of Photography by Peter Vincent has been reviewed on www.hotrodhotline.com.  It is an amazing work of black and white, plus color photographs of the Salt Flats.
 
     A trailer for the movie SNAKE AND MONGOO$E on the lives of Don Prudhomme and Tom McEwen can be seen at http://snakeandmongoosemovie.com/about
 
     The SANTA ANA AIRPORT DRAGSTRIP (1950-1959) Reunion is held twice a year in April and October at Santiago Creek Park in Orange, California.

Most of the information on this page is sort of a history lesson in what
happens when a novice puts up a lot of information and continues
adding as it comes in - hard to take down what someone has written
and added to the site.  Enjoy history..
