Bonneville Speed Week 2021 Youtube Update

In this video you will see Streamliners running as fast as 400+ miles and hour, such as:
Speed Demon, Salt Shark, Ferguson Racing, Wolfe-Strasburg, Got Salt, J&S Racing and many more.
I made an Update to my recent Bonneville Speed Week 2021 video I posted with data of engine sizes, previous records to beat, and classes each vehicle is running in. I was reading the comments in my last video and saw a lot of people were interested in the details of the cars, classes, and the records they were running for. I like to keep a fast paced video and usually leave that info out to not bore people that are just kind of into it. So if you really like this longer more detailed format let me know in the comments.
Also here is a link to the original video with out the details added in this one: • Record Setting Runs at...

Thank you so much for watching! Here is a playlist of my Bonneville Salt Flat racing videos if you want to see more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roelh62Gp7ejrZI

Hi Tom great content. I was told the salt on the lake this year was the best it's ever been in decades and great for setting records.

[@tomeighty]

@@basedsalty6970 Yeah I heard the same thing too. Seemed the same to me but I think the difference was that there was no "Soft" spots on the track that is like sand and can spin a car out.

[@michaelwillette5738]

Outstanding!!! The last pure motor sports!. No hype. No TV (unfortunately). Just speed... Nice class details for those who don't know. Back in '89/90 Don Berg of the BMR/Berg-McAllister-Robinson '32 coupe had his shop next door in Pasadena, Ca. An unblown GMC fuel coupe. 168mph. Record and season champs!

[@fraggin5]

My dad has the K/BFS record😎. Cool that you broke it down. It's second nature to us, but I can see how it's confusing to the newcomers

[@tomeighty]

Wow that is awesome to hear he is in the record books, congrats on that 👍 And thank you about the break down of the letters on the race cars, I wanted to get it across to people with out it sounding boring or dragged out. Hopefully I did that and gained a few new fans to the sport. I sure like going out there and enjoying everything that is going on. I hear so many people saying it is a bucket list thing to do, and I'm thinking not really just put it on the calendar for next year and make it happen. I drive over 2,000 miles each way to get there, it's not that big of a deal but it does kind of suck because I use to live in Salt Lake City back in the early 90's.

[@floridian7143]

That was fantastic, especially thanks for explaining the classes it made me feel better involved and a better understanding! Thanks so much!

[@tomeighty]

Great, glad you enjoyed it and learned something. Thanks for watching!

[@Kittievr]

Ya learned a lot. Thank you for all the detailed work

[@tomeighty]

@@Kittievr That's great to hear, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Tom

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

I've said it before, but gawd what gorgeous cars, rolling sculpture of the first water. There ought to be awards for that, too. And if I may make another suggestion, I think it would be cool to see these cats at the other end. Coming safely to a parachute-aided stop carries it's own thrill. Imagine, you've just broken, say, 400, you're still stable and in controll, however precariously. And now you only need to take it to zero without going spectacularly sideways. Yeah, I'd love to watch those, down to the phew! of relief.

[@michaelgautreaux3168]

Love it! Too many people don't know 'bout LSR & the salt. GR8 vid & many thanx 👍 Be safe 🦊

[@moparmenace59]

great video, now i gotta sit down and watch world's fastest indian, totally awesome movie. thanks again.

[@Doug_Narby]

Thanks for this one. The only bad thing about it is it kept me from watching the whole other video because I came here as soon as I saw the link in the comments😂

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for the comment I appreciate it, and it made me realize I should make my Bonneville videos like this one in the future. Next one coming up the first week of August.

[@jayc3110]

Tom, thank you for posting this link from the previous sister video. This one was really enjoyable and I got to learn so much more about Bonneville and its various classes and categories for these machines. Thank you and best wishes

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I will be doing the same thing for my video for next year. It does take a bit longer to make the video but I agree that it makes it so much more interesting with the details of class/category/ and what record they are going for. I like evolving in the video world and hopefully this was one small step. ha ha. Have a great Friday! Tom

[@jayc3110]

@@tomeighty looking forward to seeing those!- thank you and best wishes

[@PCgonerogue820]

Thank You giving the info on the classes , Keep up the great work

[@tomeighty]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@mikeymad]

Many thanks, coming from drag racing, it is important to know the class and the records that they are going after. Great job.

[@tomeighty]

Thank you, glad you liked it 👍

[@13699111]

Thank you for posting this video. I like the to the point setup information then the best videos you can capture well done !

[@tomeighty]

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback on that. I was trying my best to explain the basics with out getting boring or too dragged out. Tom

[@NoWay-xu1ie]

First class job on the video and information. Thanks

[@JoeLinux2000]

I like the details about the cars.

[@seanhillebrandt2653]

Apricciate the update video!

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

Two thumbs way up. Fabulous! I love detail, and you gave me a truckload. Many thanks. And, may I say, you do an overall terrific job on your videos. Keep 'em coming. BTW, I had two Studes as a high school lad, so I've an inkling as to why they did well on the Salt. The marque is gone, but the records live on.

[@tomeighty]

Thanks buddy, I'm glad you liked it. It took me a lot to get the details of each car and run but I love everything about this event and all the details about it so I had fun gathering all of it. I think I will keep doing 2 types of videos only because I think a lot of people don't want the details they just want to look at the vehicles going down the track. Did you see my video from last year at all? That was a good one too, thanks for watching, Tom kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmmuYZiqZZqoeqc

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

@@tomeighty No, I'd not seen last year's. Great fun. Thanks!

[@davidschultek3897]

Thank you so much for the additional information 👍

Thank you. This was great.

They sure are beautiful.

Thanks!

[@justachipn3039]

Thanks for the education !!! 😎👍

[@philbetthauser9547]

Thanks for the breakdown of classes.

[@tomeighty]

You bet buddy. A lot of classes to enter in.

[@Mercmad]

George Poteet has one fine looking 'liner there!.

[@guyh.4121]

Great description of the video. Well done👍👍

[@tomeighty]

Thank you!

[@saxonlight]

Thanks for the effort and time. Great camera work also.

[@tomeighty]

Thank you!

[@Taverius]

Yeah that really helps a ton! Hoping for the same style video next year!

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

This was well worth doing Tom! 5:05 That was Mike's daughter driving by the way. 6:44 They upped their own record from 353mph. 10:43 Black Salt has actually gone 380mph on one run but couldn't back it up for a record. A record is the average speed of two runs. 15:47 RonnyRoadster, this is Flathead Ford powered & they upped their own record which is actually faster the blown overhead valve record in the same class.

[@tomeighty]

Thank you for that detailed info on the racers. As a spectator you don't get to know those little details that are going on right in front of you. Also I was really wondering what Black Salt could do on a good run, 380 mph is pretty wild. Thanks for the great comment!

[@stevewelborn8744]

Thank you for doing this 😊 👏

[@tomeighty]

Thanks for watching, glad you liked it. Tom

[@bradfordeaton6558]

Thanks for doing this, it worked for me!

[@tomeighty]

Awesome, great to hear.

[@billsherry66413]

Much improved version. Thanks!

[@tomeighty]

Thank you for that feedback. I was worried it would get boring quick.

[@DanieltheTruebadour]

I'm sure most of you have seen the World's Fastest Indian (prize for the most fakeout title - love it!), but if not, I cannot recommend it highly enough as a heart-poundingly visceral experience.

[@joeskop]

Well done. Thank you!

Thank you!

It's worth the money to buy the rules book! Has all classes and speed records!

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Lots of records this year.

We're there any motorcycle classes???

[@ayebee1207]

Kids watching this. Do you want to be a Jet Fighter Pilot someday?

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

So when I go to Mike Cooks garage I see these big clumps of salt...now I know where it comes from.

[@davidschultek3897]

😅

[@nmoran2046]

Now how much does that wingless aircraft sell for looks to me like it was a bel air

[@rogergrandify]

i don't understand what is the point!! top fuel dragster get to 330 mph in 3.30 or plus sec. what are they trying to do they are not running 6 or 700 or 900 hundred mph

[@raymondo162]

but a dragster couldn't sustain speed over measured mile, not to mention the run up and return run

[@davidschultek3897]

Sound barrier ?

[@Toxylon]

They are trying to beat Land Speed Records in various classes.It's a completely different sport than drag racing, with different rules, and going back more than a century. A dragster can claim to go the fastest quarter mile in its class. These vehicles can claim to be the fastest in their classes, period. A mile both ways, average speed. Something a dragster cannot do.
