I was in Bonneville in August for the motorcycle speed week.The salt was quite wet so we only had 7 miles of track. I was at mile seven which is only half a mile from the edge of the earth... I got to see the real fast bikes do there return runs. The most interesting was the electric streamlined "side car" motorcycle. It made no real noise and seemed quit slow until it got to mile six at which point it seemed to vanish into the distance in no time at all. to a world record speed around 240 mph.
