Racer at the Bonneville Salt Flats. ca. 1938, Utah, USA, The Bonneville Salt Flats is a salt deposit left by the receding of ancient Lake Bonneville.

The salt is white, crystalline aggregate, porous, hard and rigid so that it supports loaded trucks. In 1912 this area was tested as a race track and has since proved to be the greatest automobile speedway in the world
