The square on black line is one end of
the measured race course. Electric eyes,
one setting far out on salt and one close up.
There are two race courses of 13 miles each,
one circular and one straight-a way. First
tried out in 1912, became world famous 1931,
when Ab Jenkins with his Mormon Meteor
broke all previous world's speed records.
Since, others from all over the world have
made new records with automobiles, stock-
cars, hot-rods, motorcycles, etc.
The famous Pilot Peak in the back ground
was used as a guide for crossing this Great
Salt Deseret by the Donner Party in 1846-
later by other California gold seekers. Their
broken down hand-carts, wagons and wheel
tracks are still visible on certain parts of
this barren desert.
