Historical Note
The first land speed record set at the Bonneville Salt Flats was in 1914 by Teddy Tetzlaff at 142.8 miles per hour. Since that time, it has been used for racing because of its remarkable distinction as one of the largest flat areas in the world. Although the surface is not perfectly smooth, the total size makes it the premier place in the world to set top speed records. Each year, Bonneville Speed Week is held in the middle of August. All kinds of vehicles are raced at the Salt Flats, from small motorcycles to race cars, even normal cars.
