Anybody who equates Bonneville with "rocket cars" is ignorant of car culture and racing history. To real hotrodders, the Pure Highest Holy Place of all auto racing ain't Indianapolis, and it ain't Daytona, it is a desolate dry salt lakebed located 30 miles east of Wendover, Nevada.

And the same could be said of anyone who equates NASCAR to donkey basketball. I know the history and respect Bonneville just as much as I do Pomona. But I also respect and understand racing that is theoretically something that could be done by many such as NASCAR (i.e. Friday/Saturday night dirt track racing, building engines on the weekend, moonshine runners) and has just as a storied history as many other racing cliques, moreso than $500,000 plastic kit car racing such as F1
