The 53-minute documentary tells the stories of challenge and comaraderie among
the hundreds of enthusiastic people from schoolteachers to retired executives
who annually attempt land speed records on Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats,
running everything from ingenious streamliners to high-tech hotrods. While
segments feature a variety of participants during and prior to last year's
Speedweek, the film focuses on three teams, including Jack Costella's Nebulous
Theorem IV motorcycle streamliner, Bob Lindstrom's Stay In School blown
roadster, and Jon and Nancy Wennerberg's motorcycle efforts.
People who have seen the film say it gives them a strong sense of "being
there", and even those without a particular interest in cars have found it
very entertaining and informative.
The producers are Steve Davy, an award-winning videographer, and Benn Karne,
an engineer/gearhead. They started making Bonneville: Wide Open in the Spring
of 2003 and, after many days of filming and thousands of edits, completed it
this year. We look forward to seeing you at the showing!
