I was in Wendover Nevada visiting a project for work last week, and as I returned to Salt Lake City I took a few minutes to check out the action at Speed Week on the Bonneville Salt Flats. This was on Friday, so most of the main action was over, but there was still plenty of cars and bikes making timed runs on the salt:
The cool thing about Speed Week is being able to just walk up the cars and chat with the drivers and crew. You are right there in the middle of the action, unlike most motorsports events these days. Hanging out there for a bit I thought how cool it was to be at a place where some big names in motorsports have broken records- Mickey Thompson, Art Arfons, Craig Breedlove.. I’d love to go again, earlier in the week when there is even more activity.
A few minutes of video I shot while I was there:
