Basically any car enthusiast knows what Bonneville is. The legendary land of impossible speed and unlimited imagination that has captured all of our curiosity at one time or another has been captured by Motorbooks Classic. This is a place where the records were made to be broken and limits are pushed on a regular basis. The aura that surrounds this location has been captured nicely in this excellent look back at the rich history of the track. There are over 175 photos included in the book and all are of high quality and tell their own individual story. The collection of stories, historical data and timeless memories is very impressive as can be expected from Motorbook Classics. Bonneville: The Fastest Place on Earth is one of the most complete and fulfilling books to ever cover the famous Bonneville Salt Flats and it gives us all an explanation as to why we can't drive 55.

Excellent overall coverage of Bonneville & its history, lots of cool pics also.

Landspeed Racers and Lover will love this look at the Salt Flats. Great pictures.

Louise Ann Noeth is an expert on the subject of land speed racing and this work shows that very well. Great photography and a well laid out and accurate narrative.Highly recommended for anybody interested in Bonneville Land Speed Racing

Even if you are not "into" the Bonneville Salt Flats and the people who have made it famous, you will enjoy this book. Ms. Noeth tells you the behind the scenes stories of fast cars and motorcycles run during the many speed weeks through the years. There are really great photos on every page including photos from the earliest racing days.
