Heating Up At Speed Week 2011

Getting Salty on the Bonneville Salt Flats

I wasn’t sure I’d be able to come to Bonneville this year. Studie didn’t get to come with me, but by 3pm Thursday afternoon my boyfriend Ethan and I were headed out of So Cal. By 9pm we were zooming across the empty desert underneath a full moon. By 3am we’d passed through Wendover and found an empty space at “The Bend”(the aptly named bend in the road just before getting to the Bonneville Salt Flats.) Early the next morning the sun woke us up to the sight of an amazing sunrise out over the salt flats – it was time for Speedweek 2011 to begin. Click here to read the full salty story!

Speed Week 2011 is quickly approaching! And you know what that means…Salt Fever! It’s reminded me that I still have many Speed Seeking Studebakers to add to the series I started after last year’s Speed Week. In fact, there’s 11 more racing Studebakers I have to bring ya. Rounding out a total of 14 Studebaker racers on the Salt Flats I caught last year (and I’m sure I missed a few!)

If you missed #1-4, begin here - Speed Seeking Studebaker’s.

Picture of the Week: Salty Studebakers

2010 Speedweek – Bonneville Salt Flats

Some things just need to be seen – like this grouping of Studebakers we shot out at Speedweek this past August! Two racing Studes and two spectator Studes. With less then half a year to go until Speedweek 2011, I’m already counting the days!

Be on the lookout for more picture’s of the week – there’s so many great shots I don’t always get the chance to share here on GreaseGirl.

Speed Week: Speed-Seeking Studebakers #4

The moment my Studebaker and I drove out on to the salt this year during 2010 Speed Week, what was the first thing I did? Look for other Studebakers of course! And what was the first one I found but Gord Dreidger’s Blue Beauty. Not only is this car BEAUTIFUL, it has a very cool story to go along with it. Click here to continue reading!




Welcome to Grease Girl!

I'm not what you would call your normal grease monkey. I prefer to keep my cuticles trimmed and fingernails red. But when I started driving my 1955 Studebaker Champion I had to get a little greasy! Seeing as I'm more or less new to all this, this blog will be the place to learn along with me. Check back often to see what adventure I'm on next...it'll be fun!
