Years ago I drove out to Carson City from MN to deliver a car in time so I could go to Hot August Nights. I will never forget after driving down the mountain from Salt lake City and driving across the salt flats. You could see every ten feet where someone would just leave the interstate and drive out and back from the flats. Also a bunch of Morton mining mounds. Hot as blazes out. The salt stinks. I stopped at the 2 logs that held the sign for the 'Race way" and took a photo. No gas station. Nothing but salt. Hard to believe anything like the races ever existed there. Further on is Wendover. Further from that on the way to Carson every 5/10 miles warnings to not pick up hitchhikers as they have small prisons out there. It's on my bucket list to go back and see the races
