Friend of Hooniverse Elana Scherr trekked out to the salty emptiness that is Bonneville Speed Week. She brought her camera and a number of questions she had to have answered for the many fans and readers at Hot Road and Roadkill. What’s she’s created out of all of that is your guide to attending Speed Week.
Head over because it’s worth it for the information, but even more so for the lovely photos.

Last year I designed our family’s roadtrip to the Redwoods to coincide with a pass through SpeedWeek. Even surreptitiously worked in the turbo Subie in as a vacation support vehicle and artfully created a diversion so that me, son and said Subaru arrived at Bonneville hours before wife, daughters and family truckster. The ONE thing, the most important thing as it turns out, I didn’t do was pay any attention to news about Speed Week. It was a lonely and moist place… the only other vehicle on the flats was a decrepit RV. Nevertheless, the Subaru performed admirably.
That must have been a huge bummer.
Not really. The trip was awesome anyway. It’s the journey, not the destination.
That’s a great attitude, but I would’ve still been seriously disappointed.
Car week in Monterey is on and we’re focusing on salt flats???
Yep.
Because also awesome.
Absolutely… Welcome to Hooniverse.
Are you suggesting that the kind of cars people drive at Bonneville are not to your tastes?
