History of the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. Taken from the Utah History Encyclopedia (Links Added). -1-. The Bonneville Salt Flats of the western Great Salt Lake Desert were formed through the evaporation of the Pleistocene-era Lake Bonneville. The salt flats are actually the bed of that once massive lake which rivaled in size present Lake Michigan. The flats are composed mainly of potash salts ranging in thickness from less than one inch to six feet.
On the vast, pristine white terrain of the Bonneville Salt Flats, hundreds of land speed records have been set by a bevy of vehicles. Racers have long preferred racing on the hard, flat surface of the salt, where land speed records of 300, 400, 500 and 600 mph have been shattered. However, weather conditions have to be just right. Recently, the weather hasnât cooperated, leaving parts of the surface muddy and water-logged.
