Headed out there on Friday, besides the heat and LOTS of sun block, what should I expect?

Danny Thompson from (these days) right here in Ridgway, Colorado, is going after the piston-powered LSR in his father (Mickey Thompson)'s 1968 streamliner. Last year he ran 435, then lost a motor on the return run. Fingers crossed for this year.
I just stopped on my way home for a short bit as I drove from Irvine to Chicago. It’s cool. That’s all I got 
The plan is to go help out the brother of my wife's friend. All I know is he's running a Studebaker with a Chevy straight 6.
Was supposed to go last year but he blew the engine on the dyno a couple days before the event.
Hope you have some down time in the help to look around at all the other cars and motorcycles that are out there- there are some amazing creations at Bonneville. And we found that every single team is excited to talk about their project- unless they are doing some emergency surgery on the car- which does happen.
Loved going out there for the week.
Some of the push vehicles,haulers,and other stuff around that aren’t racing are just as cool and sometimes maybe cooler at land speed events. He is a cool vehicle a modified GMC Motorhome push vehicle.
One of these years I am going to make it out there!
