August 2013 Diesel Land Speed Racing

Another year has gone down in the record books for speed demons on the salt flats. The Sport of Land speed racing is very eclectic! If you have not made the trip out to the Bonneville Salt flats and your a auto racing enthusiast, You have to put it on your bucket list! You will not regret it! To see so many cars and people dwarfed in the vast space of the flats is simply Awesome.  The engineering, style, diversity of people and cars alike, charged by passion of young guns and Old timers thrashing away to find any extra speed is special. The pits of Team Swampwitch embodies the image of what makes this form of racing so interesting.  

This year Team Swampwitch took a break, as several team members worked on other projects. The break was nice but now the pot is stirring for the makings of a great 2014 Speedweek. The diesel class is becoming more competitive with the addition of new cars, trucks and racers. We are happy to see a few records attempted this year in the diesel class and hear the makings of a Great World Finals in October. For those new to this sport, World Finals is another event sanctioned by SCTA-BNI. To see the full schedule please visit http://www.scta-bni.org/events.html.
