Bonneville Speed Week Video: Record Setting Runs And Muscle Cars On The Salt During Speed Week 2020


Bonneville Speed Week Video: Record Setting Runs And Muscle Cars On The Salt During Speed Week 2020

What truly makes Bonneville Speed Week special is the variety of vehicles that you see hauling ass down the salt. Different body styles, different engine combos, and different visions are what Bonneville Speed Week is all about, and it is what people who come for the first time always comment on. There are so many classes, so many combos within those classes, and so much flexibility in how you build your perfect race car for Speed Week, that there is no way that any two are exactly the same. Streamliners, Lakesters, door cars, roadsters, and sports cars just scratch the surface as there are so many different classes, variations, and interpretations of each of these classifications. When you watch the two videos below, one that is all record runs from Bonneville Speed Week 2020, and the other that is nothing but Muscle Cars on the salt, you’ll get to see just how cool this place is and just how cool the racing is.

Watch and see what you think and tell us what vehicle in these videos is your favorite. Would you rather drive a streamliner down the salt? A lakester? That’s like a streamliner but with the wheels hanging out. Or a door car? Maybe a roadster?

Watch and tell us what you think.

Here’s Every Bonneville Speed Week Photo Gallery We’ve Got From 2020! Check Them All Out Here!

Bonneville Speed Week 2020 is in the books, with George Poteet and the Speed Demon team once again taking home the Hot Rod Trophy, which is impressive as hell considering the challenging conditions at Bonneville National Speedway this year. With this year’s strange climate of COVID and everything else, the number of cars and fans at Speed Week was definitely down, but that might have been a blessing for some as the number of cars going down the race track each day meant it probably stayed in better shape than it would have otherwise. And even though Speed Demon is full of the latest and greatest technology, including very effective traction control, you can’t go down a marginal track as fast as a good one. Period. Traction control doesn’t make you fast, it just helps refine the power a little in the tougher spots.

Don’t for a second think that all our coverage was of Speed Demon though, we’ve got jillions of photos of hot rods, customs, race cars, and more on the salt, and it doesn’t matter what you like you are going to find it in one of these cool photo galleries.

Our Bonneville Speed Week 2020 Photos Continue! Bitchin Hot Rods On The Salt!

One of the ultra cool things about Bonneville are the number of cool old hot rods and customs that show up on the salt on Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend of racing action. It makes us cringe sometimes because we can’t stand the thought of bringing something cool out here and someday rusting out, but many of these dudes have been doing this for years and come out to hang out and be seen and then clean the hell out of the thing and get it back home. The variety is cool, the style is sometimes traditional and sometimes a bit weird, but always fun to check out. Lots of the these guys cruise the pits, hit the starting line area, and just cruise around the salt looking for anything fun and exciting to check out. Of course they are also there to show off these cool rides, so you’ll often times find groups of them parked together somewhere where everyone will see them and take pictures. Of course we’re ultra glad to oblige and think its pretty cool when we can bring something like this to you on such an awesome blank canvas.

We say blank canvas because the salt is arguably the best thing to shoot a car on ever. With very little shadows, amazing reflection of light, and such nice white to bring out the colors, it is unlikely you’ll find a nicer place to shoot a car that doesn’t involve a giant light box and a coved white room. This place is pure rad when it comes to photos.
