At the Grand National Roadster Show 2014 you will be able to get the 302-page exhibition book - Bonneville - A Century of Speed. (Also order on-line at the site below) It will have a surprising, special price for visitors to the show! Bonneville books are few and far between, but this new exhibition book covers the collective history of Bonneville racing in a massive 302 page layout. Created to celebrate 100 years of Bonneville racing the book starts at the root of land speed racing in 1898 in France and quickly moves to America with a brief the Florida Speed Trials and to the first known racing on the lake in 1914, onward to the 2013 season.
Filled with grand images of the great Bonneville champions including Mickey Thompson, Donald Campbell, John Cobb, Ab Jenkins, the Burke family, the Latin's, the Lindsley's, Les Leggitt, Al Teague, Scott Guthrie or the Burkland's. But it's not just the headliners, this book will help you appreciate that the core of Bonneville is the greater land speed community who have raced on the lake all these years and you will close this book in awe at the wonderful historic collection LSR streamliners, the roadsters, the coupes, the production cars and the bikes displayed in its pages.
The impetus for this book came from Ron Main's upcoming Bonneville - A Century of Speed exhibition at the Grand National Roadster Show (Building-9) this coming January 24-26 at the Fairplex in Pomona, California.
The book which features 600 photos including the majority of the cars in the exhibition, is a fundraiser for the Salt Lay-down Project with Save the Salt, and all income from the numbered edition of just 2,000 copies goes directly to the fund. For those attending the show, there will be a very special price so be there to enjoy the exhibition, support the project and get your deluxe numbered-edition which we feel will sell-out very quickly. Hope to see you there! See a quick review of the book at:
