At one point during the year, the Salt Flats are open to anyone. I think it's Speed Week, but I'm not sure :

2007 Speed Week Results

I didn't know about that one,but did run in 1991.I joined the Utah Salt Flats Racing Assoc.,paid I believe $35.00 US and a donation to "Save The Salt" and once past safety inspection,could run as many times as the line of cars would allow.------------- The good thing about sanctioned events is that there are safety people,paramedics,and air ambulance,as Wendover doesn't have any medical facilities,and it's a looooooooooooooong way to Salt Lake City hospitals,should something go wrong.----------------- A race-neighbor,Charles Farmer,in Krum,TX, went last year with his Ford SVO-powered streamliner.He said lines were very long now,and if you got in line "today" you might get to run "tomorrow".Too bad! I had planned to return with the T-100,but my enthusiasm is dulled after Charles report.---------- Do it if you can,it's a great experience,and the data is as accurate as anything we as amateurs could hope for.
