Bonneville Salt Flats Memorials

Never let anyone tell you otherwise - racing at Bonneville is dangerous. Motorsports racing of all kinds is dangerous enough but then when you throw in the aspect of adverse track and weather conditions the danger factor increases quite a bit. There are some who have given their very lives in the pursuit of their dream of setting or breaking a land speed record in their class. With sadness we have posted articles on those who have paid the ultimate price here on this page and those connecting to it. Should you know of someone who you feel should be mentioned on this part of our web site please use the "Email Us" link at the top of the page and let us know.

May 2010 We have been made aware of a quite thorough resource concerning fallen LSR racers appropriately named as Land Speed Racer Deaths. The site is located at http://lsrdeaths.webs.com/. Webmaster Mel Bashore has done such an excellent job of research that we have decided to suspend further work on this page while asking you to visit Mel's site for more information about racers who lost their lives while racing their hearts out. We have a more in-depth review of his web site at this link: Land Speed Racer Deaths.
