I got to go to Speed Week at Bonneville this year.  I've never been to a friendlier event.  You could walk anywhere in the pits and impound area.  Competitors loved to talk about their cars and answer questions.   If you ever have the chance, it's something not to be missed.

Great video!

I still hope to run my car on the salt one day. I ran the mile at the ECTA when it was in NC and ran the mile at Dade/Collier with Mile Marker One (unsanctioned) but I've only been to the salt when there wasn't a race going on. Hopefully one day........
