Although, the Bonneville Salt Flats is a large, barren flat land without any flora or fauna in it, it has still found its great purpose. Racing enthusiasts from all over the world troop to this side of Utah to make and break speed records in their automobiles and motorcycles.

As the Bonneville Salt Flats have a very smooth and flat ground, it is highly ideal for driving at very high speed. The fact that it is not a road also helps, as there would be no problem with limits and other vehicles. This is why records of up to 622 miles per hour have been achieved in the area.

Bonneville Salt Flats has been serving as a racing ground for more than a century now, ever since its discovery in the late 1800s. Today, it still continues to be the best venue for making and breaking land speed records.
