Bonneville's Women of Land Speed Racing

For decades, women have played a vital role in land speed racing, earning their place on the starting line through rigorous safety and technical checks. Despite the challenges, over 200 women have set land speed records, with some reaching speeds of over 500 miles per hour.

The story of women in land speed racing is one of perseverance and expertise, with many women working behind the scenes as skilled fabricators, mechanics, and crew chiefs. This book tells the story of these women, who have helped propel their fellow competitors to victory and have made a lasting impact on the sport.
