Overview: The future of land speed racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats is in jeopardy! The once 13-mile race track at Bonneville is now less than 8 miles due to salt erosion.

Please urge Utah lawmakers to help fund the Restore Bonneville program through the State budget.
Please feel free to personalize the draft letter provided and write about what Bonneville means to you. If you are a Utah resident, note it accordingly. Please include a sentence at the beginning of the letter about your experience at Bonneville if you’ve ever raced at the salt flats or attended a race there. Feel free to amend the title of the email as well to say: “I visit” of “I race” at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
