It’s only been two days since Bonneville Speed Week 2016 ended, and not only am I already missing the salt, but also scheming for what we should be racing there next year. Like everyone who attends, my mind has been racing with what would be the ultimate machine to race on the famed Bonneville Salt Flats. The good news for me? We already have a car. That’s good, because even though we have TONS of work to do to get the thing ready for 2017, we at least know what car and classes we’ll be running in. Until then, I’m using all these photos as inspiration. How about you?
Salt fever. I’ve got it. Next month I’m driving my black 1969 Mercury cyclone spoiler II ( nascar model ) from Cincinnati to Bonneville to run in the u.s.f.r.a. 150 mph club. I run 2 1/4 miles on the salt. We will see what an old aero car can do with a 351cleveland, 4 speed toploader and 2.75 Detroit locker. Wish me luck! Thanks.
Chad, If your looking for a land speed car like the 974 Studebaker ,I have been thinking about passing it on. Hooley
