Tell us about Bonneville, a ‘sacred place‘
The Bonneville Salt Flats in northwest Utah is one of the most unique places on earth; with expansive vistas surrounded by mountains and crystalline salt that glistens in the often-present sunlight, it’s a place of sheer beauty. Formed from the remnants of Lake Bonneville that covered much of Utah until about 12,000 years ago, the hard salt-compacted surface is flat and stretches for distances that made it suitable for high-speed racing.
