    Wasn't Donald Campbell the first to use it?

    Speed is addictive no matter where you live, I have been to Bonneville 3 times and I will try and go one more time. You meet the nicest people.

    No. he used Lake Eyre. Lake Eyre is often wet these days.

    Bonneville 2019 I hope is in my plans.

    Gairdner was not always open and for a long time closed to the Public and even these days Native Land rights etc. have much to do with access and use.

    Thanks, I believe he was the first to set the wheel driven LSR over 400 mph there.
