What If Build Ideas...for Land Speed Racing

Depends on what class you want to be in, and how many performance and safety mods you want to do to the rest of the car. And who you want to compete against.

Am I correct in thinking you cannot just show up with a hot rod and race at Bonneville speed week can you?

it’s not like going to a drag strip rest and tune.

First you need a class compliant cage for the weight and estimated/established speeds in the class. Better pick a class up front. Yu can take a car to the tech inspectors way in advance and have them inspect it. Better to have them tell you about required changes 6 months or a year in advance. They can also give guidance on choosing a class.
