Take That Gaia: Bonneville Speed Week in photos
TO the Bonneville Speed Week, Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA. This is the annual event that sees hundreds of car builders and drivers gather on the salt flats to try and break land speed records in various different categories of vehicle. This is a hark back to the halcyon days of what Iowahawk calls “the global warming era“. This is salt and nitro. “Take that, Gaia!” (Photos with added Shelby and Donald Campbell.)
