At Bonneville, record holders must first earn the right to present themselves on the starting line. This requires passing rigorous safety and technical checks for driver, rider, and speed machine. Gender is inconsequential. Through the years, more than 200 women have made the cut and donned fireproof clothing and helmets. Dozens have set land speed records--35 in excess of 200 miles per hour, six above 300 miles per hour, and one deaf female racer who roared past 500 miles per hour. Equally impressive are the women who helped propel the helmeted gals into glory. Few know how many women are skilled fabricators, mechanics, crew chiefs, and all-round land speed racing experts, all working out on a brutal, merciless, and barren sodium-soaked playa. And for decades dedicated volunteers have not only put down that all-important starting line but erected a speed village that inspired tens of thousands to visit, taunting the timing lights run after run. Since 1949, women have played an integral part. Without question, land speed racing has more women actively participating and setting records than any other segment of motorsports in the world.

Here starts the fun. Under the rainbow, on the frosted iridescence of hard-crusted saltnot snoweveryone begins the grasp for glory. Tires and shoes extract the same crispy, crunchy sound from the surface. The black line runs for more than seven miles, and the mountains in the distance are 25 miles away. In more than 100 years, not even the cars that peel off 600-plus mph speed runs have hit them. Over and over, screaming, screeching engines shatter the reverential silence with an alluring rhythmic cacophony, but shortly, graciously, return the playa to blessed tranquility that tempts the mind to wander with awe.

At five feet six inches tall laying in the left nacelle of the fastest car on - photo 4

At five feet, six inches tall, laying in the left nacelle of the fastest car on earth just after it set the first supersonic record at 763 mph, my feet still do not touch the inlet vanes of the ThrustSSC jet engine. My lifes nexus is speed. It is intoxicating. Fascinating. It is why I dedicated five years to Save the Salt, a volunteer group desperately trying to reverse decades of federal government mismanagement and restore the Bonneville Salt Flats to safe racing conditions for amateur land speed racers. In my opinion, and from my experience, BLM bureaucrats are the gorilla glue of misery that talk like a leaky tire that never gets fixed. (Authors collection.)

A CKNOWLEDGMENTS

Developing a book like this is a gargantuan treasure hunt. You would not be paging through this taut tome without the gracious, numerous, unrestricted contributions of several key photographers who captured the moments in time shared in this book. I am humbled by their gifts.

Betty Burkland began visually chronicling her family 411 race team in 1969, which included a Studebaker, Datsun, and 400-plus mph streamliner. All of Bettys shots in this book are published for the first time, some 50 years later. She also served as an editor for this book.

Scooter Grubbs skills as a visual craftsman speak for themselves in books, magazines, and hundreds of cherished wall spaces.
