Did! And have watched your drag videos! There all good 👍👍
So awesome keep up the good work hope to make it out there one day
Awesome.....Thanks
@@jameshuffman835 good
My thoughts . Am aerodynamic wonder.. I'm assuming maybe they don't need as much final gear ratio as they think
To all the people saying the speeds aren’t that impressive, you know they’re driving on salt right? Not pavement, not concrete but salt. Not a solid sheet of rock salt but like coarse table salt. Let that marinate for a minute.
I think some people have it stuck in there heads that they are still running jet engines or rockets out there and hitting the old speed records. And also you are right about the salt, it is as close to being on snow as you can imagine. You can't give it much throttle till you are going over 100 mph or so.
I think it's lame they need a push from a smoke belching polluting diesel truck.
Furthermore, at this point in time this sport is purely for entertainment purposes. Everything about ICE's is well established knowledge/technology. Same can be said for aerodynamics.
They should do this with EV's, battery class and a fuel-cell class.
Maybe that would help advance that technology?
@@jfv65
They have those classes as well. 99% of racing is for entertainment. Very very few can do it for a living. As far as having aerodynamics "figured out" most of these vehicles are home built. Very few teams have access or the money for wind tunnel testing. They also only race a couple times a year. Check out the Buckeye Bullet built by students at The Ohio State University if ur interested in EV land speed racing.
@@jfv65 please stop being the idiot that ruins motorsports for the people that have a passion and love it.
@@jfv65 loved seeing the smoke belching from the diesel truck. EV;s have no place anyplace close to BSF.
I'd really like to see them at FULL SPEED, not just the takeoff.
Check out my video from 2 years ago, I shot a bunch of video at the 3 mile marker so you get to see some speed there. Thanks for watching. czcams.com/video/d8K0et05uDE/video.html

The most appealing thing about these cars is the fact they are all so different. True works of Art🔥
Always great watching the Salt. I remember seeing the Green Monster (on tv) doing runs many decades ago. Glad to see it getting the attention it deserves again.👍 Beautiful looking machines.
The body work on some of those cars is amazing. Really great fab work
i would agree and the front design on these are better than some of the other vids i watched,
Every gearhead needs to go to Speed Week at least once. If you haven't been there, put it on your bucket list. You will not be disappointed.
I've already put Mare Tranquillitatis on my list
The only difference between the '50s and '60's land speed cars I grew up on is..., everything! New powerplants, new materials, new speed records. This is wild!
It's wonderful to see the creativity and rewarding speed results on good salt again.
My wife and I went to speed week in the mid 70's, the variety of vehicles was fantastic!!!!.....looks like even better today!!!!....Wish there was coverage of the other interesting vehicles, not just the record breakers......Thanks for the great video!!
Thanks for watching! I know what you mean about wishing there was coverage of the other interesting vehicle, when I'm walking around every vehicle looks interesting to me. But when making a video that is going to be interesting to the majority of people I have to pick certain vehicles otherwise it would be a dud of a video. This one is doing well at 650k views and climbing fast! Once again thanks for watching and the great comment. Tom
“Bob, let’s just saw the wings off that jet and put wheels on it.” “Got it Skipper.”
There were some nice streamliners this year! Good to see that the salt was in good condition as well. I HAVE to get there next year. Thanks for the coverage!
Speed Week : the fusion of art, engineering and SPEED ! Greetings speed freaks from New Zealand !
Thank you so much for watching from New Zealand!
Burt Munro? ;-D
@@lefroy1 ah yes ole Burt. A good sturdy bloke. A legend!
Such a special and historic location for man and machine. Definitely on my bucket list for visiting.Really appreciate the great video.
Thank you for watching!
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Hope to be there next year, If we can travel. Salt looks amazing.
It's nice to see & hear them run. Thanks for all the "walk a rounds" you did, Great.
Thank you, I appreciate that. Tom
Well filmed Tom! Interesting, well-paced Highlights w/o any jabberjaw! Thank-You, Tom
Thank you for the nice comment. What you described is exactly what I was going for when I edited this video. I feel better now that my video came across that way 👍
This is what innovation looks like. Glad Bonneville isn't dead..
@Markus Patients It's not dead because it's not in California.
I love racing there ... 26 years and counting 😊😊 thank you to all the volunteers that make the event happen!!
Thanks for the video, fantastic machines, creativity unchanged.
some of these engines are just musical. and every machine looks like something straight out of Dan Dare or Buck Rogers... excellent vid
Thank you, I feel the same way.
What a combination, fast and beautiful 😍 You definitely earned my subscription to your channel
Thank you! I appreciate that and welcome. Lots of great videos to come. Tom
Freaking BEAUTIFUL MACHINERY !!!
And Fantastic Weather Too !! Thanks For Sharing n God Bless All.
I always found the salt flats cars and bikes rolling work's of art and stunningly beautiful against the white salt!
Flats, cars, bikes… but for some reason work’s???
Oh man these land speed cars are crazy cool, they look like airplanes w/o wings!
Great. Thank you so much. I live in Pendine West Wales, where the records began before they moved to Daytona and then the Salts.
Nice photography of these lakesters & streamliners. Enjoyed it in person and now on video.
That was great ! Many many thanks from Canada !
🇨🇦😁
My dad helped with the Flying Rose in 2020, wasn’t able to make it down this year due to torn retina, but so cool to see A Montana car in the record books!!!
Fantastic camera work. Thanks for making and sharing this.
Thank you!
Reminds me of the days of Mickey Thompson and the Challenger 1 and Craig Breedlove and the Spirit of America. Back in "my" day, those were the names to watch.
Mickey Thompson's son was driving in the red and white "Ferguson" Streamliner.
Thank for posting this great video. Real video of real racing - get a real feeling of what it is like. New subscriber!
Thank you, it is awesome going out to those races on the Salt Flats. And thanks for subscribing! I do have a video from Speed Week 2020 which has more video from the 3 mile marker showing higher speeds if you want to check that out.
Been drraming of running the flats for decades. But the application and approval process is a nightmare just to read. This is one exclusive club. But dream i shall.
Yeah I think of that too when I'm out there and I'm watching the tech inspections and such. You would be money ahead if you hired someone who knows the whole deal and gets your car set up even before you get out on the salt. You are right the rules and safety book make your head spin trying to read them.
Now that's the way to have a video! Can't tell you how much info I got. Keep it up!!
Works of ART
What a magical beautiful creative form of motorsport. Great video!
it is great watchin this video,,,, kept lookin for MR. BREEDLOVE walkin around,,,, i read he retired from drivin,,,, i guess we all have to succumb to time,,,, but he will always be remembered for his contribution .
Nice video, would be great to add the class the record runs are done in…..
I just posted an updated video with the powerplant, class, and records they were breaking. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/KLKn2HRRn70/video.html
Going to Speed Week is on my bucket list
Hi Eric, Don’t wait forever. Get ur room a year in advance. Stay at Motel 6 Utah side, all gear heads there. Friendly folks on the salt. Been going there for 18 years until stroke got me down. I loved it!!! Burt
Thank you tomeighty...& Very video...I'm disabled..mostly in a wheelchair these days..forced in to retirement kustom painter..signs..pinstripe'n & airbrushart..been dream'n of build'n a wheelchair to go 200 & get a hat..painted alot of Kool race cars..never did get to do a saltflat car..maybe someday...sure was a lot of very nice paintjobs in your video....
Thanks for watching Jim! I'm 50 years old and I realize the blessing I have of good health and getting around like a kid half my age. It is no joke hanging out at events that are over 100 degrees for 10 - 12 hours a day and getting up early and doing it again, and then driving home from 2,000 miles away. Hey on a side note did you ever do a paint job on a custom van or do pin striping on one? I've been binge watching old school van walk through videos and loving them. I have a van but it is a newer conversion van, I dream of getting an older stoner van some day. Take care buddy.
Was für fantastische Fahrzeuge 👍
My fave by far was the "For Sale" burnt orange Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk.
Studebaker's have a long, storied,.............& decorated history at Bonneville. My dad owned a black with white top Hawk, and I've loved them every since. Such gorgeous lines on those cars. The Avanti now??? Not so much.🤣🤣👍🇺🇸 Great video my friend. Thanks so much for bring us that killer footage. I know it was scorching out there.
Thanks for the nice comment. And yes it is brutal out there filming in that heat and I forget each year how hard it is. But it is all worth while when I can put a video like this together. I love being around such cool cars/machines like this. Thanks again, I appreciate it.
@@tomeighty No.Thank you sir. Stay safe and God Bless you brother.
Bubbascotch 😉 ( color )
Really enjoyed. Thanks for your time and effort...
Thank you for watching!
OH MY ! I really wish I wasn't 3000 miles from there. I would never leave. Anyone need a one legged 68 year old pourer of pure silver, machinist, general mechanic, fabricator ? Thanks for this post. Love that sound.
You really get a sense of the speed from this angle.
At 15:00 that is the craziest looking 1971 Honda 600 I have ever seen!
Amazing machines.
Pretty Cool!... Thanks for Sharing
Like the Pinewood Derby for big kids!
So true, never thought of it like that. But some crazy designs they come up with. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for posting this video.
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it. Tom
Great vid loved the sounds
Such beautiful cars!
Tom just found your great channel and subscribed. My High School friend Mel Eggeston was there with some cars from Idaho. Thanks
Oh cool, thanks for subscribing Dave 👍. That's my 4th time out on the Salt Flats watching the races. I use to live in Salt Lake City back in the early 90's so it has been cool going back there after so long and watching the races like I use to. Do you know what kind of car Mel Eggeston brought out there? I have another video I'm working on of regular cars that were out at the Salt Flats this year and I might have his car in it.
There is a saying we use out to the flats. "To make a small fortune in racing, first start out with a large one"
My reoccurring thought during this whole video was was how expensive is it to participate it must be.
Thats a stunning location tom and the cars are cool looking
Thanks buddy, it was a good time there.
It's amazing in person.
Kickass! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it, Thanks for watching! Tom
The engineering that goes into some of these cars quite amazing.
Not really actually.
These machines look like they going 200mph before they even start moving
Some of these cars are simply works of art!
That's basically all it is. Aerodynamics not practical at all.
Beautiful aerodynamics
thoroughly enjoyed Big Thumbs up
Epic! Thanks for sharing!!👏
Love to take in the spectacle just once while living in the desert like conditions... so it is this or Burning Man : ] Hope this opportunity comes first !
15:12 my '72 Honda 600 only topped out at 75, going down hill, with a tailwind, drafting a tractor trailer... if it ever hit 76, I'm sure the doors would come off and it would go back in time to when it was built!
my buddies 1977 6 cylinder camaro topped out at 72 in those same conditions... minus the truck on the way down
Super cool of ya to tempt me with that Studebaker Tom......ha!
Yes, they are pretty sharp looking too! I really liked the color blue on that one, almost looked like it had a bit of silver in it. Maybe the white from the salt made it look like that. Cool none the less.
The salt looked good. Growing up in northern Nevada in the 60's I watched the cars going by every year and wondered what it would be like to drive one. The old belly tank speedsters, the hot rods and the streamliners, so cool.
Wow, 400mph, I can't imagine that, that's insane.
Gosh those liveries are all amazing
Great video buddy glad you cover it
Thank you! It was a blast going out there 👍
Bonnie cars have come a long way from when I visited in the early 70's some very fine work and very beautiful Well filmed But it would have been even better if altered coup and sedans, tankers and the less dramatic cars had been included Thanks for sharing
Hey Micheal, thank you so much for watching! And that is really cool you were there in the early 70's. Was there many spectators watching back then? The first time I went was in 1993 and there was not many people watching along the side lines, just at the starting line. And I do have a ton of video of regular cars and Coup's racing at the Salt Flats from this year, I'm just making separate videos for them. I should be having my "Car" video come out this weekend so stay tuned. Tom
Stunning to look at...
.
The ULTILMUT I hard the humbling expérience To Drive on the salt flats at Bonneville.
That Studebaker was amazing! Would love to take that to a car show...
Very nice video.
Thank you very much for posting this.
There don't seem to be going very fast.
If it wasn't for the "subtitles" with the speed I wouldn't have guessed.
Yes it is so weird that the Salt Flats are so Huge that things kind of get swallowed up in how large it is and the cars look slow when going by. But it is so awesome being out there at this race and walking through the pits and checking out the cars.
@@tomeighty
Thank you Tom. A great adventure for you. I'm happy that everything went safely also there were no accidents.
well recorded , nice catch of the atmosphere on the salt flats.
R.I.P. Jesse Combs.
Awesome cars! Reminds me of the episode of Cars on the Road Salt Fever! 🧂 🏁 🏎 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
In addition to the speed it would be nice to know the class they’re running in
I just posted an updated video with the powerplant, class, and records they were breaking. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/KLKn2HRRn70/video.html
@@tomeighty I just watched it thank you very much it was very helpful I understand Bonneville now the problem is I have to go back and rewatch every video I’ve ever watched so I can look for the markings on the car
@@nmoran2046 That's great to hear, glad you liked the video. And yes it is interesting decoding the letters and numbers figured out the engine, fuel, and class.
N Moran - Yea, what good is it to see a whole bunch of streamliners taking off an most say "Record Setting" without identifying classes.
@@carlcampbell6827 Did you get to see the updated video I made? If not go check it out, I put all the classes and records they are going for. Thanks for watching! czcams.com/video/KLKn2HRRn70/video.html
Would love to attend that one day.
Awesome looking builds one and all.
Really Good Thanks
I hope a major production company produces a Bonneville Speed Week feature. With proper speed matching panning cameras start/during/end of run. There is clearly massive interest in this event, it just needs someone to come and film it and put it together. @Netflix maybe?
It's tough setting up out on the Salt Flats when it is 110 degrees out there. And the cars do not really run one after the other, there is a lot of delays and such. And the panning of video on the Salt Flats is super tough because everything looks white in the camera lens and they are going so fast it is hard to keep up with them. So when I nail one, I get really happy. Ha ha. Thanks for watching and be sure to keep an eye out for the next video coming out in a few weeks. Speed Week starts on Aug 5th.
@@tomeighty Exactly. It needs professional gear with people who know what they're doing (no offence). A proper production. Filming, editing, script writing, interviews, telemetry etc.
Really enjoyed this!
Glad you liked it, if you would like to learn about the differences between the cars check out this video I did where I break down the car types, engines, fuel used, and records they are going after. czcams.com/video/KLKn2HRRn70/video.html
Amazing!
Hey Tom. What is troubling me is, why the open wheel cars don't cover those wheels. I think they could go a lot faster on the salt flats if they did that. What do you think? Thanks for taking us there appreciate it.
Thanks for watching buddy. The event is really complicated, there is a zillion different classes of racers and a zillion different ways to get in the record books. All the easy records have been crushed long time ago, you need to find a unique one to go for a record now a days. So basically it isn't a free for all to see who can go the fastest, it is who can go the fastest with certain restrictions. Like body design, engine displacement and on and on...
I would definitely like to know what the classes are and possibly in what class each car is running. When you see a car set a record at 200 mph and a similar looking car not set a record at 400 mph, it gets a bit confusing.
The classes can be seen on each vehicle, usually above or below the vehicle's number. Example @ 14.19: D/GL.
@@47485ksc That’s true, but I don’t know what the differences between the classes are, or what the letters mean.
@@brucecoleman7412 If it's anything like drag racing, one part of those letters is the powerplant type, and the other part is the chassis type. I agree though it would be nice to see that info written out on screen. When they show the car name and speed attained, show some of the class info too
@@brucecoleman7412 I'll take some wild guesses here: "A" may mean "Alcohol fueled", "S" may mean "Streamlined" but there's just so many different classes, it's hard to guess. I tried searching: "Bonneville Classes" but got no results. Any Bonneville speedsters here know?
I just posted and updated video explaining the classes and such. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/KLKn2HRRn70/video.html
American V8s are beautiful 😍
Thanks
Thanks for NOT talking too much this Video says enough.....Great job.
Nice video, thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for posting this! In the future, can you make note of the class these things are running in?
I just posted an updated video with the powerplant, class, and records they were breaking. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/KLKn2HRRn70/video.html
great video, thank you. wished I knew what they all had under the hood to tell me what class engine, but I will take this with Sincere gratitude....
Thank you Kevin! I did actually post a video after this one with details on the class they were in and the engine size if you want to check it out. Tom czcams.com/video/KLKn2HRRn70/video.html
enjoyable, good job.
Love the studi
The paint and body finish!
Would be nice to have a tower out by the last trap and some good cameras to film. So we could actually see what 400 mph looks like.
Yeah I hear ya on that. The next best thing is the in car GoPro Camera's. If you do a CZcams search of "Speed Demon Cockpit View" you will see some awesome videos.
@@tomeighty Thanks, those videos are intense.
@@tomeighty Speed Demon @400 MPH...that video from I inside was great...but surprisingly short, and not a lot of 'action'.....the salt....you drive, stay on the line.....that's about it.
@@dougankrum3328 You are a tough one to entertain Doug. Ha ha
@@tomeighty Not really, I do realize the Speed Demon run was a long time for a nitro motor to be at full throttle. I've watched George Poteet runs for quite a while.
I also have a friend who died several years ago, running open fairing Harleys on the salt...Alan Sputhe. He didn't die at the speed runs though...
Keep up the great works to all the teams, just one thi9ng, when is a piston engine combo going to brake the land speed mach 1 record or even break the sound barrier at least, which is 768 miles per hour?
Mach 1 is the speed of sound.....same thing
Are the public allowed to attend this or is it just for competitors and officials? It looks really cool.
Yes public is welcome to go out and watch the races. I think it is $25 for the day or $60 for a week long pass. It is the Wild West when you go out there, you can walk around in the mile long pits, you can walk around in the staging lanes, you can stand right on the starting line and watch them take off, or you can drive you car down the side of the 5 mile track and park anywhere behind the black line they lay out on the track. It is very cool, but also very brutal in the heat if you are out there for 8 hours or so. Bring a big hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Thanks for watching my video!
Ever since i saw the worlds fastest indian i wanted to go to the flats and go fast as can be!
... reminded me of that movie as soon as I seen this on the side bar - just couldn't resist a watch - the result - goooood vid !
Loved that movie as a moto go fan
Some great bodywork.
"watch out for the speed demon!"
