So not sure how the whole bonnieville thing works exactly... but from
www.saltflats.com there is a link to the 150 club. Doesn't specify rules or regs but does list those who have made the mark.
I'm trying to dig up a little more info, cause i'd love to know what the go is too.

anyone else know anything regarding land speed records on the salt flats??

where's Burt Munroe when you need him
(one of my all time fav movies. the sound of that bike.....)

Check out the "britishpathe" site and do a search on BMC, amazing footage from the 50s and 60s. Look at the Austin Healey record and MG record attempts. Especially look at the safety equipment

Not to mention the twin cam head.
