1969 Mustang Mach 1

3,783 m.p.d.

Mickey Thompson put his boot in it at Bonneville in September 1968 and blasted his Class C 1969 Mustang Mach 1 to a new world record: 3,783 miles in a day. He beat the old 24-hour record by 405 miles. His average was 157.633 m.p.h.--a big 17 m.p.h. faster. He smashed 295 other records along the way.

It needs to be noted that Mickey took three Mustangs with him to Bonneville, a blue, yellow and red Mach 1. Although the blue Mach 1 is shown below, it was the yellow one that set the record. The driving chores were shared with Danny Ongais and Hot Rod editor Ray Brock.

Colani Utah 8, 1989. Used by Luigi Colani to set several speed records at the Bonneville Salt Flats Speedway. Standing 90cm high it was powered by a turbocharged BMW K100 flat-4 motorbike engine that produced 150hp and weighed only 550kg. The highly aerodynamic styling featured rear view mirrors on extended "stalks" that flowed out of the wheel arches.

The snow-white ground was cracked like dried lips and crunched under my feet. I could smell the salt. I kept trying to think of what it looked like, but my brain could only find highly figurative similes. It looks like driving alone at night feels. It looks like everything you're scared to say out loud. It looks like the moment the water retreats from the shore just before a wave rolls in.

By Ken James: Where are you going today?

Sometimes, the beauty to a place can be so overwhelming that paradoxically it can work against you. Such was the case here for me in the flooded Bonneville salt flats. 180° is surrounded by pure still reflection. When this happens, it's best to find anchor points, anything distinctive that draws and holds your eye (usually in the foreground), and just start photographing those.

These preserved underwater tracks leading to the mountains did it for me.
