    Speed Week: Numerous records set
    The Salt Lake Tribune

    BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS - Steve Atuell drove the "Hot Rod Magazine Special" to a 246.011 mph record Thursday at Speed Week on the salt flats. He was among several drivers setting records on the smooth hard salt.

    Although Speed Week ends today, the British JCB DieselMax team will continue running until the end of the month in an attempt to break the diesel powered land-speed record.

    Many old-timers expressed the opinion that the salt was like it was 40 years ago. Despite the great condition, the starting line was moved one mile to the east in the morning to give the cars better traction in the first mile.

    This year's Speed Week is the biggest in history with more than 500 cars entered. There were more spectators than ever before. Many attribute the record number of entries and spectators to the movie "The World's Fastest Indian," which was filmed last year on the salt flats.

    A driver was injured in a 244 mph crash just after 1 p.m. His name and condition were unknown at press time.
