Default Re: Boys of Bonneville Movie Trailer

While there are a lot of past and current drag racers on the salt, the sport of Land Speed Racing encompasses a much broader spectrum of racing enthusiasts. It is a unique form of competition and, because it's racing, there is plenty of complaining and rules discussion but a much greater ability by racers and officials, (than in drag racing), to work together for the betterment of the sport.

It's important to remember racing at Bonneville isn't "long drag racing". In fact, drag racing is "short Bonneville" racing. It's equally important to remember which came first.

As a twenty-eight year veteran of Bonneville, (and that makes me a ROOKIE on the salt), I've always had a standing offer to any of my drag racing friends to visit me at the Long Course TimeSlip Station and I'll give you a tour.

The majority of those "ex-drag racers" left the quarter-mile sport forty years ago, (or more), and initial attempts on the salt by modern drag racers are usually massive failures since virtually none of drag racing's science or data applies.

All drag racers make it a "bucket list" item but hardly any of them ever bothers to show up. For all but a few, the "bucket" comes much quicker than Bonneville.
