The SCTA-BNI Bonneville Speed Week 2012 was awesome. I can’t remember a time when it wasn’t awesome, regardless of the year, but this one was really good.

Update Friday: Well it’s all over for Speed Week 2012, and Team Sicilio should be ultra proud of themselves. They came out with a brand new car and in less than a half dozen runs set a record at Bonneville. We know guys that are out there for decades and never get a record. They [...]

Holy Crap! Today was nuts. Seriously nuts. By shear dumb luck and determination we happened to be at the perfect spot to catch some real pucker factor “stuff” going down at the top end of the long course today. We have dozens of photos from the top end showing chutes out, streamliners flying, and our [...]

Wow!!! We have had a hell of a day here on the salt for day four of Bonneville Speed Week 2012. We slept very little again last night, and then overslept slightly this morning, but still made it out to take more photos of the cars that were in impound waiting for their chance to [...]

Bonneville is the ultimate test of man and machine. The sun beats down on you no matter what you do, and being inside a car without air conditioning will make you question why driving is so much fun. Cars get hot, motors cry out for mercy, and every part that lasts a whole season of [...]
