Here we go again. We told you we’d have more photos up today and we weren’t kidding. In fact, we’ll have even more photos going in later tonight and we’ll be bombarding you with them throughout the week as we are snapping as many as we possibly can during this abbreviated Speed Week 71 at Bonneville. Torrential rains on Thursday night delayed the start of the 71st running of Bonneville Speed Week as flooded pits, tracks, and return roads meant a dry out was in order. After assessing the situation, and monitoring conditions, it was decided that racing would not commence until Tuesday morning at 7:30 am.
We spent yesterday walking the pits, getting a little sunburned, and snapping photos of tons of cool cars for you to enjoy. We’re pretty sure that some of these cars will make you drool, and they have done that for us in spades.
If you are not familiar with Bonneville Speed Week, or racing on the Bonneville Salt Flats in general, then some of these cars and combos may seem a little odd. You aren’t wrong, but odd is not that uncommon at Bonneville. In fact, it is one of our favorite things about this event as strange engine combos find their way into cars, trucks, and even motorhomes that never came so equipped. It’s one of the things that you learn to really appreciate about Bonneville.
We will have tons more photos throughout the week, so stay tuned for all of them.

Some great photos, but what happed to Turbinator and Speed Demon? I don’t think they’re hiding their cars over in Area 51.
