Bonneville 2019 final results

Post by smotorboy »

Hello All,

Here are the 2019 stats from the salt flats in Utah, USA, and some 2018 results for comparison...

475 entries

850 total runs cars and bikes

25 total records set:
8 by 4-wheel vehicles
7 by 3-wheel vehicles
10 by 2 wheel vehicles and of that only 3 records were over 100 mph

You will be pleased to note that my 350cc Morini was the only bike under 1000cc that had enough "grunt" to both break 100 mph and set a record on that sloppy dangerous course.

In fact, more bikes crashed on the course (14) than set records (10) , and two of the go-downs resulted in serious injury to the riders...

2018 stats

500 entries (approximately)

179 total records set

100 by 4-wheel vehicles

79 by motorcycles

Why ?

2018 had dry firm salt

2019 has wet sloppy rutted mush....

HI Robert
If slushy salt is anything like slushy snow then I take my hat off to you.
I can't imagine how tough that was.
Well done.
Mark
