Description

This year marks the 60th annual Speedweek, hosted on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats. Speed demons come from all over the world to see the salt flats, to set world speed records, and to take part in one of the last refuges of grassroots racing. At Bonneville, its you and your machine, racing upon a vast plain of white salt. Randy Smith made the 1500 mile journey from Southern Illinois to race at Bonneville Speedway.
