At the center of the flats, the salt is 5 feet thick. The Bonneville Salt Flats and International Raceway is the fastest place on earth, hosting several racing events throughout the summer months.Įach winter, water covers the Salt Flats. During the Spring and Summer, the water evaporates and the wind smooths the surface into a perfect surface for going fast. Because nothing grows on the thick layer of salt (the dried-up remains of ancient Lake Bonneville, which was as big as Lake Michigan) and because the areas is flat-as in F.L.A.T.-the Salt Flats form the perfect location for vehicles to go F.A.S.T., as in 630 mph fast.
