Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway

This picture of The Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway was taken in an area of the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah.  If the photo is enlarged, one can see the cones that are being used to mark the track for racing.  Speed trials are schedules throughout the summer and fall.  They are discontinued when the rains come in the late fall as water will cover the track.  Any other time, one can drive right out on the track.  While I was growing up, I remember the name of Craig Breedlove setting records for both 400mph and  600mph.  The track surface of salt seems a bit unstable for me to race on, but it sure is flat!
