(Photos by Wes Allison) With the weather causing delays at this year’s Bonneville Speed Week, the crew at the SCTA and BNI decided that it would be smart to get cars going through Tech Inspection off-site since they weren’t allowed on the salt yet. So they opened up the historic Wendover Aiport and had racers come on down and go through the entire tech process there. As usual, Wes was on hand to shoot photos, so here is a taste of what you are going to see rocketing down the course starting Tuesday! And if you haven’t seen our other galleries, click the link below to see them all.
This year Bonneville’s salt conditions are going to be the talk of the town because the salt is still under water. They are expecting it to dry out Sunday and Monday with racing starting on Tuesday and we’ll have photos to share as soon as the racing starts! Last year the courses were excellent, and then it rained big on Friday and Saturday and flooded the salt. When it dried they only had a couple of courses, but the conditions were great so we are hoping for more of the same this year! Stay tuned and find out.
As we said, we’ll have tons of them coming throughout the week as we have Wes Allison on-site to shoot everything he can point a camera at. We’re going to make sure you have all the photos you could want and will be bringing you at least one gallery of Bonneville photos per day. This is our first, so use the link below to see the rest all week!
