Bonneville Speed Week Video: Record Setting Runs And Muscle Cars On The Salt During Speed Week 2020

What truly makes Bonneville Speed Week special is the variety of vehicles that you see hauling ass down the salt. Different body styles, different engine combos, and different visions are what Bonneville Speed Week is all about, and it is what people who come for the first time always comment on. There are so many classes, so many combos within those classes, and so much flexibility in how you build your perfect race car for Speed Week, that there is no way that any two are exactly the same. Streamliners, Lakesters, door cars, roadsters, and sports cars just scratch the surface as there are so many different classes, variations, and interpretations of each of these classifications. When you watch the two videos below, one that is all record runs from Bonneville Speed Week 2020, and the other that is nothing but Muscle Cars on the salt, you’ll get to see just how cool this place is and just how cool the racing is.

Watch and see what you think and tell us what vehicle in these videos is your favorite. Would you rather drive a streamliner down the salt? A lakester? That’s like a streamliner but with the wheels hanging out. Or a door car? Maybe a roadster?

Watch and tell us what you think.

Here’s Every Bonneville Speed Week Photo Gallery We’ve Got From 2020! Check Them All Out Here!

Bonneville Speed Week 2020 is in the books, with George Poteet and the Speed Demon team once again taking home the Hot Rod Trophy, which is impressive as hell considering the challenging conditions at Bonneville National Speedway this year. With this year’s strange climate of COVID and everything else, the number of cars and fans at Speed Week was definitely down, but that might have been a blessing for some as the number of cars going down the race track each day meant it probably stayed in better shape than it would have otherwise. And even though Speed Demon is full of the latest and greatest technology, including very effective traction control, you can’t go down a marginal track as fast as a good one. Period. Traction control doesn’t make you fast, it just helps refine the power a little in the tougher spots.

Don’t for a second think that all our coverage was of Speed Demon though, we’ve got jillions of photos of hot rods, customs, race cars, and more on the salt, and it doesn’t matter what you like you are going to find it in one of these cool photo galleries.
