Thank you so much for watching! Here is a playlist of my Bonneville Salt Flat racing videos if you want to see more: ruclips.net/video/xVBVzPrRpw0/видео.html
@@basedsalty6970 Yeah I heard the same thing too. Seemed the same to me but I think the difference was that there was no "Soft" spots on the track that is like sand and can spin a car out.
Wow that is awesome to hear he is in the record books, congrats on that 👍 And thank you about the break down of the letters on the race cars, I wanted to get it across to people with out it sounding boring or dragged out. Hopefully I did that and gained a few new fans to the sport. I sure like going out there and enjoying everything that is going on. I hear so many people saying it is a bucket list thing to do, and I'm thinking not really just put it on the calendar for next year and make it happen. I drive over 2,000 miles each way to get there, it's not that big of a deal but it does kind of suck because I use to live in Salt Lake City back in the early 90's.
Outstanding!!! The last pure motor sports!. No hype. No TV (unfortunately). Just speed... Nice class details for those who don't know. Back in '89/90 Don Berg of the BMR/Berg-McAllister-Robinson '32 coupe had his shop next door in Pasadena, Ca. An unblown GMC fuel coupe. 168mph. Record and season champs!
Tom, thank you for posting this link from the previous sister video. This one was really enjoyable and I got to learn so much more about Bonneville and its various classes and categories for these machines. Thank you and best wishes
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I will be doing the same thing for my video for next year. It does take a bit longer to make the video but I agree that it makes it so much more interesting with the details of class/category/ and what record they are going for. I like evolving in the video world and hopefully this was one small step. ha ha. Have a great Friday! Tom
I've said it before, but gawd what gorgeous cars, rolling sculpture of the first water. There ought to be awards for that, too. And if I may make another suggestion, I think it would be cool to see these cats at the other end. Coming safely to a parachute-aided stop carries it's own thrill. Imagine, you've just broken, say, 400, you're still stable and in controll, however precariously. And now you only need to take it to zero without going spectacularly sideways. Yeah, I'd love to watch those, down to the phew! of relief.
This was well worth doing Tom! 5:05 That was Mike's daughter driving by the way. 6:44 They upped their own record from 353mph. 10:43 Black Salt has actually gone 380mph on one run but couldn't back it up for a record. A record is the average speed of two runs. 15:47 RonnyRoadster, this is Flathead Ford powered & they upped their own record which is actually faster the blown overhead valve record in the same class.
Thank you for that detailed info on the racers. As a spectator you don't get to know those little details that are going on right in front of you. Also I was really wondering what Black Salt could do on a good run, 380 mph is pretty wild. Thanks for the great comment!
Two thumbs way up. Fabulous! I love detail, and you gave me a truckload. Many thanks. And, may I say, you do an overall terrific job on your videos. Keep 'em coming. BTW, I had two Studes as a high school lad, so I've an inkling as to why they did well on the Salt. The marque is gone, but the records live on.
Thanks buddy, I'm glad you liked it. It took me a lot to get the details of each car and run but I love everything about this event and all the details about it so I had fun gathering all of it. I think I will keep doing 2 types of videos only because I think a lot of people don't want the details they just want to look at the vehicles going down the track. Did you see my video from last year at all? That was a good one too, thanks for watching, Tom ruclips.net/video/d8K0et05uDE/видео.html
Thanks for this one. The only bad thing about it is it kept me from watching the whole other video because I came here as soon as I saw the link in the comments😂
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it, and it made me realize I should make my Bonneville videos like this one in the future. Next one coming up the first week of August.
I'm sure most of you have seen the World's Fastest Indian (prize for the most fakeout title - love it!), but if not, I cannot recommend it highly enough as a heart-poundingly visceral experience.
i don't understand what is the point!! top fuel dragster get to 330 mph in 3.30 or plus sec. what are they trying to do they are not running 6 or 700 or 900 hundred mph
They are trying to beat Land Speed Records in various classes.It's a completely different sport than drag racing, with different rules, and going back more than a century. A dragster can claim to go the fastest quarter mile in its class. These vehicles can claim to be the fastest in their classes, period. A mile both ways, average speed. Something a dragster cannot do.

Hi Tom great content. I was told the salt on the lake this year was the best it's ever been in decades and great for setting records.
@@basedsalty6970 Yeah I heard the same thing too. Seemed the same to me but I think the difference was that there was no "Soft" spots on the track that is like sand and can spin a car out.
Love it!
Too many people don't know 'bout LSR & the salt. GR8 vid & many thanx 👍
Be safe 🦊
My dad has the K/BFS record😎. Cool that you broke it down. It's second nature to us, but I can see how it's confusing to the newcomers

That was fantastic, especially thanks for explaining the classes it made me feel better involved and a better understanding!
Thanks so much!
Great, glad you enjoyed it and learned something. Thanks for watching!
Ya learned a lot. Thank you for all the detailed work
@@Kittievr That's great to hear, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Tom
Many thanks, coming from drag racing, it is important to know the class and the records that they are going after. Great job.
Thank you, glad you liked it 👍
Outstanding!!!

@@tomeighty No, I'd not seen last year's. Great fun. Thanks!
Yeah that really helps a ton! Hoping for the same style video next year!
Thanks for the breakdown of classes.
You bet buddy. A lot of classes to enter in.
Thanks for this one. The only bad thing about it is it kept me from watching the whole other video because I came here as soon as I saw the link in the comments😂

George Poteet has one fine looking 'liner there!.
Much improved version. Thanks!

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it. Tom
Yes stats are better thanks
It's worth the money to buy the rules book! Has all classes and speed records!
So when I go to Mike Cooks garage I see these big clumps of salt...now I know where it comes from.
😅
Kids watching this. Do you want to be a Jet Fighter Pilot someday?
Lots of records this year.
We're there any motorcycle classes???
Now how much does that wingless aircraft sell for looks to me like it was a bel air
Dreams for sale.........
i don't understand what is the point!! top fuel dragster get to 330 mph in 3.30 or plus sec. what are they trying to do they are not running 6 or 700 or 900 hundred mph
but a dragster couldn't sustain speed over measured mile, not to mention the run up and return run
Sound barrier ?
