- MG Sports Car Driving at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, circa 1950 - In the 1930s, land speed racers everywhere began to flock to a landscape seemingly custom made for their sport: Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats. The hard, white salt provided a smooth running surface while the 46 square miles of open space offered plenty of room to speed up and slow back down. Typically, speed records were based on the average over an out-and-back run.
