Sun Worshipper / Bonneville

With summer edging its way around the corner, thought I would run a photo of taking in some rays the way it should be done.

Yeah, the Bonneville Salt Flats may not be the white sandy beaches of the Pacific or Atlantic, but that didn’t seem to prevent this sun worshipper from soaking up the sun. While one of the guys worked on setting a speed record in his rear engined streamliner, their young lady friend worked on getting a record-breaking tan. Seems the other guy was too distracted to be of much help. Can’t identify the racers or the woman in the bikini, but this exposure was made during the ’67 Speed Trials. Eric Rickman shooting for Hot Rod magazine probably captured the image.
