Fun Fact: The Bonneville Salt Flats are a 30,000-acre salt (potash) floor ranging from one to six inches thick, and are actually the bed of what was ancient Lake Bonneville. Bonneville Speedway is an area of the Flats near Wendover, Utah, that is marked out for motor sports. It is particularly noted as the venue for numerous land speed records. The salt flats were first used for motor sports in 1912, but didn't become truly popular until the 1930s when Ab Jenkins and Sir Malcolm Campbell competed to set land speed records. The annual Speed Week is held in mid-August.
