SEARCHING FOR SALT – ONE YEAR LATER

Thanks to my friends at Road Scholars for publishing an update to my October 2015 award-winning article.

Road Scholars Magazine

It tells the story of Porsche competitor Tom Woodford, who attended the 2014 Bonneville Salt Flats “World of Speed” event. It was the only automotive competition at Bonneville that wasn’t cancelled due to a lack of salt during a three-year period from 2013 to 2015.

In early 2016, the Utah House Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Committee unanimously passed a resolution urging the federal government’s Bureau of Land Management to take immediate action to restore the flats via a “Salt Return Program”.

Woodford and I are now excited to return to Bonneville in 2017. Hope springs eternal, salt fever is back, and 200 mph seems within reach for a certain Porsche 911 streamliner.
