[edit] Jack Vettriano
Is it worth mentioning the well-know painting 'Bluebird at Bonneville' by Jack Vettriano in the Popular Culture section?

[edit] 90 Year olds
I am going to be going up to the Salt Flats for the speedway this year and am wondering if I can take my motorhome close to the activities. I am taking my 90 year old Dad and it would be nice for him to have a place to sit and relax.
From the page: ... many of the mountains within the vicinity appear to be floating in the air since their bases are on the other side of the curve and thus out-of-sight. I dont get this. Their real bases are out of sight, agreed. But that doesnt explain why they appear floating in the air -- given only the earth's curvature, you'd still see the mountain meet the ground, except it'd be at a "virtual" base.
[edit] World of Warcraft
I deleted the section about WoW. It simply isn't significant enough to be mentioned an article about the Salt Flats. I used to play it so I know what it is an all it just doesn't fit in an encyclopedia -kev
--- I added a History section and some information from utah.com regarding the first uses as a speed trial course. --Jrishel 19:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reference to Harley Davidson speed record in 2005
I removed the reference to the speed record set in 2005 for Harley Davidson motorcyles. It was too specific, and not relevant the the general article. Reproduced below:
Super Kaz was able to break the 200mph barrier on a Harley-Davidson V-Rod in 2005, setting the standard for all other Harley-Davidson motorcycles to come.
