However, in the last few years they had to cancel due to the salt layer getting too thin. Bonneville Speedway is famous for record breaking land speeds during Speed Week and it gets televised to many countries. At its thickest, the salt layer at Bonneville is 1,8 metres (70.86 inches) thick, but looks can be deceiving as it is fragile, since there is often mud under the salt. This so called salt pan was born when a lake evaporated and left behind a layer of salt. The Bonneville Salt Flats are on the border of Utah and Nevada on Interstate 80. So when we left Vineyard in Utah, I crossed my fingers hoping, that once we reach Bonneville the sun would be shining. This was not our first time to Bonneville, but previously we were there on a cloudy day, and it didn’t look as amazing as in pictures we had seen. This was not really one of our destinations, but since it was on the way back home to California, we wanted to stop to take some photos. The last stop on our road trip to Utah was the Bonneville Salt Flats.
