The remnants of Lake Bonneville, now known as the Bonneville Salt Flats, consist of hundreds of square miles of the flattest, most desolate land on Earth. Its spaciousness and flat expanse has appealed to automobile racers as early as 1935, despite its remote and unattractive location. This article gives a detailed account of how racing at Bonneville began, the records that were met on the salt flats, and the events that took place between 1935 and 1970.
