We Hit The Starting Line At Bonneville Speed Week 2020! Action Starts Right Here!


We Hit The Starting Line At Bonneville Speed Week 2020! Action Starts Right Here!

It’s that time folks! Racing has finally started at Bonneville Speed Week and we are so excited about the racing action that we couldn’t help but snag some photos to share all the greatness. With cars making their first passes down the salt Saturday morning, it was time to see just what the salt could handle and how much power everyone had to throw at it. Remember, make one hit over a record speed and you are going to Impound for inspection and certifications so that you can back it up the next morning for an official record. The earlier to you qualify for the record, the earlier you can pack up the trailer and start the drinking and socializing. You also get to limit your exposure to the hot Utah sun if you so choose.

We’re excited to see everything from a Roadster to the Speed Demon Streamliner going after big numbers. We’ll see how conditions manifested today and how many guys and gals can back it up tomorrow to take the record. Once again we’re sad not to be there ourselves this year, but luckily our dude Wes Allison was able to make things happen and show us all the hot action and cool cars that showed up this year.
