Destination Speed

Bonneville...How Fast Can I Go!

It kinda' looks like a surreal far-away planet. The photo is by Jeff Earle of Steve Huff as he readies himself for a pass. Have you ever wondered..."How fast can I go?"

As a kid I would read "Speed Magazines" about Mickey Thompson and his Challenger I streamliner that he drove to 406.60 mph on the Salt Flats in 1960 and only wonder what that would be like. He was the first American to reach 400 mph.

To drive a car with four wheels at speed on the salt takes some cajones...to do it on two wheels takes....
