About Bonneville Speed Week
Six days of land speed racing on the Bonneville Salt Flats, where hot rods and streamliners chase records.
Bonneville Speed Week is the annual August land speed event on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. Hot rods, roadsters, lakesters, motorcycles and streamliners run the salt, and spectators can walk the pits and talk to crews. The catch is the setting: there is little shade, the glare is harsh, and the cars are at least a quarter mile away as they run.
Know before you go
- Bring a hat, dark glasses, sunscreen and your own shade.
- Binoculars help, since race vehicles are at least a quarter mile away as they travel down the course.
- Fly into Salt Lake City (SLC); the salt flats are about 88 miles west on I-80.
