The Bonneville race cars speed by at 200 to sometimes 400 mph, so you don&#8217;t have much chance for photos!

The &#8220;long course&#8221; at Bonneville was 5 full miles of race track. You can set a record in any mile, or you can slow down and exit the track anywhere as well. Only cars running 175 mph or higher are allowed on the long course and the faster cars will use every bit of the 9 mile run-off to slow down. (Especially Mr. George Poteet in the Speed Demon streamliner!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Both cars in these pictures were travelling over 200 mph!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When their parachutes open, especially when they&#8217;re still coming towards you, there&#8217;s a fascinating delay between when you see the chute open and when you hear it&#8230; like counting how far away lighting is&#8230; one thousand-one, one thousand-two&#8230; then you &#8220;POP!&#8221; It&#8217;s awesome!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dan&#8217;s roadster above was running about 211 mph when he passed me in the 5 mile and had an exit speed of 217 mph! That means he was still accelerating! In a short (and no-doubt unstable) roadster, that&#8217;s hallin it!
