Speed Week is seven days long, and put in by the BNI.

World Of Speed is four days long, and put on by the USFRA.

Both run on SCTA rules and records.  But have cars and bikes.

World of Speed has 2 classes for street cars. One mile run for 130 club (it only looks easy) and 2 mile run for 150 club. Come out and meet the greatest people in the world.

Just so you don't get confused -- the added classes are in addition to the SCTA classes which run on the SCTA rules.

Don't forget the SCTA's World Finals later in the year.  They're easily the most beautiful time to run -- or the shits.  They can't predict.

If the great salt lake is dried up by then  :x  And the bomb craters  :roll: along the length of the entry road to the pits are hopefully not as deep by then it should be a good event.   :|
