Speedweek Wrap-Up

Speed Week 2011 – Bonneville Salt Flats Summary

Being out on the Bonneville Salt Flats for Speedweek is an amazing experience like none other. I always return with way too many pictures then I can post to the web and way too many thoughts than I can convey in my stories. So here it finally is – Grease Girl’s Speedweek Summary and Salt Flat Favorites for 2011!

Speed Seeking Studebaker’s #5 – The Rest of the Pack

Bonneville Salt Flat Racing Vintage Studebakers

Speed Week 2011 is quickly approaching! And you know what that means…Salt Fever! It’s reminded me that I still have many Speed Seeking Studebakers to add to the series I started after last year’s Speed Week. In fact, there’s 11 more racing Studebakers I have to bring ya. Rounding out a total of 14 Studebaker racers on the Salt Flats I caught last year (and I’m sure I missed a few!)

If you missed #1-4, begin here - Speed Seeking Studebaker’s.

Speed Week: Speed-Seeking Studebakers #4

The moment my Studebaker and I drove out on to the salt this year during 2010 Speed Week, what was the first thing I did? Look for other Studebakers of course! And what was the first one I found but Gord Dreidger’s Blue Beauty.

Speed Week: Speed-Seeking Studebakers #3

I’ve already covered the two record-taking Studebakers for this 2010 Speedweek in previous articles of this Speed Seeking Studebakers series (#1 & #2). So before looking at more racing Studes, I wanted to show you some of the fine Studebakers that spectators were driving around on the salt!

Speed Week: Speed Seeking Studebaker #2

#898 obviously isn’t a coupe, but it’s still Speedy. And most importantly, it’s a Studebaker! This 1949 Studebaker farm truck out of Kansas took the second of the two records for this years Speed Week.
