The magic of Bonneville Salt Flats and land speed racing there is mentioned often around these parts. During my 2012 trip to the BUB speed trials and Bonneville, I had the good fortune to meet a very talented photographer and videographer, Chad DeRosa. He and I both had the same mission- capture the magic of the salt flats and Sodium Distortion race team. Our end vision however was very different- he was filming for “Out of Nothing,” an epic tale of four men forging land speed records.

I am so thrilled that Phil and I happened to be free and run into each other on the flats- I can’t imagine not having these awesome photos. Thanks again, man!

Miscellaneous photos from my Bonneville 2012 BUB trip.
You guys sick of these yet? Too bad, because I’ve still yet to find the time to finish my write up of the trip.
Jason Omer on his Sodium Distortion partial streamliner at BUB motorcycle speed trials this last week.
He was waiting for Mark on the Ducati & Chad in the plane to make a pass for video.
Jason set an AMA national 1000cc APS-PG record of 156.8 mph. He beat the old record by more than 6 mph.
One of my favorite sights at the BUB speed trials at Bonneville- the Rolls Royce towing a salt racer.
Mark Bjorklund of Super Rat with his Sodium Distortion Ducati S4RS salt racer. That’s the “I just broke my own record” smile.
Well, I’m in Utah now…
Justin took this photo of me before I went into the airport TSA security zone… wearin’ my hat for the flats and moto boots to avoid shoving them in my checked bag (with all my other gear).

The arsenal is readied in preparation for my departure to the Bonneville Salt Flats. Photography MANIA up in this joint!
