Land speed racing can only occur when the lake bed is dry, and after a course is prepared piste style. A lot of the year it's soggy and unstable, which is why speed week is in August if conditions are ok. you can stand on the start line but the cars are geared for a slow push start, nothing beats the doppler effect of multi engined streamliners going past mid course, seeing earth curvature and heat mirages. Amazing experience. https://youtu.be/HzwWTYQwvA0 https://youtu.be/qJ_WqSrC-LY
