Event Coverage Bonneville World Finals 9/30-10/3

Looks like it's a GO! Weather dependent of course. I'm cautiously optimistic......
I plan on going since I totally missed Speedweek(days) this year. Any other Hambers going?

What's the difference between speedweek and world finals?

 

I've never been to it, but I think it was set up to do record runs only. It's basically a weekend event.....normally much smaller than Speedweek.

 

A whole lot cheaper motel rooms !

 

Hopefully less water as well.

 

Density altitude….if you are running a NA gasoline engine powered vehicle you know what I mean..

 

No lookie loos and wannabe fake race cars in town with numbers and letters on their doors.

 

Got it. Thank you.

 

Twenty years ago, we set the C/STR record at 199.923 in August. In October, we bumped it to 201.689.
For an SCTA record, that's a significant jump.

 

Does it still stand?

 

They never all “stand” you rent them….and 20 years ago that 201 earned a Red Hat.
Currently the record is 229.4 …….so no.

 

After that, he set the record at 210mph.

Then someone broke his record, with a Nascar powered roadster. 225mph I think it went. Not sure what the current record is.

 

Well the salt is flooded again. Just can't catch a break!

 

I propose they change the name from Salt LAKE City to Salt DESERT City ... it might help with the water issue
