Motor Trend just posted this great video about the Bonneville Salt Flats. What makes it interesting is that they give you a picture of the culture built by the racers that convene there every year. What they do is not racing in the traditional sense. The competition is not a cutthroat head to head to race. It’s more accurate to think of it as a competition of the people against the salt and the clock. You get a really good feel for the mentality of the racers from the interviews in the video.
