Most of the land records broken are from this place , a very common site for speed testing. This place has also been featured in movies like POC & Independence Day.
This is Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats, one of the largest salt flats, a remnant of lake Bonneville and the speed way for testing is called Bonneville Speedway.
Originally, two tracks were prepared; a 10 mile long straightway for speed trials and an oval or circular track for distance runs, which was typically between 10 and 12 miles (16 and 19 km) long depending on the condition of the salt surface.
Speed Week, the largest meet of the year, which attracts several hundred drivers who compete to set highest speed in a range of categories is also organized here by Southern California Timing Association[1] and Bonneville Nationals Inc.
