“ Ya Gotta know where to Go….The FUN Starts Here….”

the true testament of a hot rodder ...

Speed Week consists of six days of racing (Sat - Fri), weather and conditions permitting. Entrants come from all over the world to participate in the week long event. Spectators are allowed to walk through the pits, view the vehicles, and talk to the drivers and crew members. Public parking is south of the pit area, on the west side of the race track, outside the cones.

Be sure to bring a hat, dark glasses, sunscreen and shade from the sun. Don't forget a camera with lots of film/memory/tapes, because you will want to remember everything you see and hear.

Binoculars are also a great idea since the race vehicles are at least 1/4 mile away as they travel down the course. The salt flats are located approximately 88 miles west of Salt Lake City, UT on I-80. The spectacular scenery and racing conditions at Bonneville make it one of the most popular areas in the world for speed. The colors, excitement, people and smells are some of the reasons we race addicts return to the salt, year after year. Better known as "Salt Fever". CATCH IT!

Starting on August 12th this year (couple of days from now as I write this) one of the oldest and fastest forms of motorsports and racing will be kicking off.

Known as Speed Week officially, it’s time to run on the salt at Bonneville.

This is the true testament of a hot rodder building a car to see how fast they can go in a class, can they break the existing record or their own best time/speed.

There is no prize money, just the satisfaction of know you did your best.

We’re sharing the front page from the SCTA-BNI website on what Bonneville is. Really says it the best we think.

Bonneville Land Speed Racing is a unique sport that consists of very determined people who drive hot rods, roadsters, belly tankers, lakesters, motorcycles, streamliners, and even diesel trucks to "shoot the salt" in a simple quest to have their name added to the list of many record holders. Many years ago, the Bonneville Nationals Inc. (BNI) was formed.

It's main focus would be to produce the annual "Bonneville Speed Week".

The BNI hosts a spectacular week of racing each year in August, which is the highlight event of the LSR season.

Jay Leno’s Garage Advanced Vehicle Care has added spray wax to its lineup of detailing products.

The uniquely formulated spray wax was designed to be the quickest way to apply carnauba wax protection to various painted surfaces. Jay Leno’s Garage Advanced Vehicle Care recommends applying spray wax after every wash to extend the life of the vehicle’s base wax or sealant application. For the best results, begin with a cool surface, mist wax evenly, distribute over surface with a clean microfiber towel one panel at a time and once the wax has hazed, wipe off and buff with a clean, dry microfiber towel.

“Waxing a vehicle on a strict schedule isn’t always an option for many people,” said Chris Walters, JLG AVC product development specialist and director of marketing. “This Spray Wax lets people quickly protect the last application of wax or sealant to extend its life a bit longer.”

The Spray Wax is formulated with premium carnauba wax and like all JLG AVC products, is made and bottled in the U.S. The entire Jay Leno’s Garage Advanced Vehicle Care line was specially designed

by Jay and his team to clean and protect even the most delicate finishes with the professional grade formulations, according to the company.

When you hit the FINISH LINE, you have to have started somewhere first.

“Fire Them Up” is the call over the PA at drag strips across the USA and in the staging lanes where the Top Fuel and NITRO Funny Cars and Altered’s are sitting waiting patiently. When the call goes out, that means it’s time for fire in the pipes.

Nothing says it or shows it better than night time drag racing in the NITRO Classes.

Check out these cool shots that we got from the NITRO REVIVAL Facebook page.

Expertly shot by Martin Libhart of Drag World Photography, they show what we all love about NITRO drag racing!

Here at the Gearhead Gazzette, we make no bones about our LOVE for REAL DRAG RACING….Front engine dragsters using 85% plus Nitro in the tank and Funny Cars that look like cars, not door wedges with tires on them.

The best part about this is, these guys keep the pipes LIT for a whole 1/4 mile!

You can almost smell the NITRO!
