It's that time of year again. What time is that? Speedweek!
As if my life was not crazy enough, trying to get everything done for Craft Lake City, I am also heading out to the salt (salt flats) for a few days to check out the cars and hopefully see some new land speed records get set.
Some might think that the salt doesn't sound like a great place to vacation. But.. I love it! Being out in the middle of the salt flats is like no other place. If you have stopped at the rest stop off of I-80 and walked onto the salt you haven't gotten the complete experience. You need to take the exit after the rest stop (heading west), drive by bend in the road until there is no more road. The races are then held a few miles out from there in the middle of the salt.
Jon and I have been going to Speedweek for that last few years. We get to kick back for a few days, hang out with our friends and watch history be made. I am taking my laptop with me and am hoping to be able to post some pics out there, but we'll see what happens.

Here are some photos Jon has taken previous years.

I think the salt flats are an "otherworldly" place. I love stopping there, even though we've never taken the exit and driven further out. Hope you have fun!
*sight* I should be there with you guys this was the only thing I wanted to do this year when I started working at EB and it is the EB that has made me miss it..... Next year. I have already put in my request.
Hope it is a good time.
Cheers.
