Boys of Bonneville Movie Trailer from Price Museum of Speed on Vimeo.
Ab Jenkins Son of the Salt. Set more Land Speed records than any other human with is wicked 750 hp airplane engine-powered mormon meteor III rocket. The thing generated 750 hp at 2,000 rpm and its top speed was right around 275 mph. It was estimated that it could run at 400 mph with front and rear supercharged engines installed. It had a 112 gallon gas tank and got three and a half miles to the gallon at 200 mph.
Today, many have forgotten how much of a god damn athlete this man was and his insane endurance on the flats. Just as his name will never die, the mystique of Bonneville Shall live on forever.
