Bonneville Speed Week 2021: Our Bonneville Speed Week Photos Start Right Here With The Nugget Car Show Hot Rod Photos!

(Photos by Wes Allison) Bonneville Speed Week 2021 officially starts tomorrow morning with cars, trucks, streamliners, lakesters, and more hauling ass on the salt at Bonneville. But no Bonneville Speed Week is really on before the Nugget Car Show that kicks off Friday night. There are a jillion people that come to Bonneville Speed Week to watch, but the biggest crowd shows up sometime Friday and spend Saturday and Sunday watching the action before heading home to wherever they came from on Sunday night. That means that the Friday and Saturday night car show at the Nugget Casino is THE place to be on Friday night in Wendover and there is plenty of beer flowing to celebrate.

This year promises to be an amazing year at Bonneville with all kinds of new cars making their debut and some old cars coming back out for the first time in years. Plus, the piston engine and wheel-driven all-time records are being aimed at with everything people can throw at them this year. We’ll see how the salt is, but we’re hoping for some big things this year at Bonneville.

As we say, this is our first gallery of photos and we’ll have tons of them coming throughout the week as we have Wes Allison on-site to shoot everything he can point a camera at. We’re going to make sure you have all the photos you could want and are going to start it off right with this gallery tonight and another one in the morning. Check it out!

Bonneville Speed Week Video: Record Setting Runs And Muscle Cars On The Salt During Speed Week 2020

What truly makes Bonneville Speed Week special is the variety of vehicles that you see hauling ass down the salt. Different body styles, different engine combos, and different visions are what Bonneville Speed Week is all about, and it is what people who come for the first time always comment on. There are so many classes, so many combos within those classes, and so much flexibility in how you build your perfect race car for Speed Week, that there is no way that any two are exactly the same. Streamliners, Lakesters, door cars, roadsters, and sports cars just scratch the surface as there are so many different classes, variations, and interpretations of each of these classifications. When you watch the two videos below, one that is all record runs from Bonneville Speed Week 2020, and the other that is nothing but Muscle Cars on the salt, you’ll get to see just how cool this place is and just how cool the racing is.

Watch and see what you think and tell us what vehicle in these videos is your favorite. Would you rather drive a streamliner down the salt? A lakester? That’s like a streamliner but with the wheels hanging out. Or a door car? Maybe a roadster?

Watch and tell us what you think.
