Hello -

Sounds like a job for the Bonneville Salt Flats :

The Open Road: Racing the Bonneville Salt Flats
Quote:
People have descended on the Bonneville Salt Flats to drive everything from rocket-ships-on-wheels to rental cars. We're in the pits where three long lines of canopies make a temporary village where drivers, spectators and crews hang-out to talk cars, occasionally firing up these babies to warm the oil and fine tune 'em. This is an event called The World of Speed ...one of three race trials that takes place at the Bonneville Speedway between August and October each year. People come from all over to see the flats, break world speed records, or top their personal best, like Bob Powers from Tucson, Arizona.
At one point during the year, the Salt Flats are open to anyone. I think it's Speed Week, but I'm not sure :
