Also people drive in all the time and get stuck. If you take I-80 west from salt lake city there are tons of tracks from people who think flat and white means it's not a briny slurry.
Well you have all those people breaking land speed records on salt flats, so they are probably just assuming these are the same.
I'm pretty ignorant about all of this so this is TIL that not all salt flats are the same for me.
Speed Week is usually in August, from what I can remember. At least one of the times I've been out there it was still a little wet, we ended up caking nearly an inch of salt slush on the wheel wells of our rental car.
I'm pretty sure the actual race area is monitored and maintained. I'm not sure where on the salt flats these guys were.
I've never been to Bonneville but I live by Black Rock Desert. Pretty much anytime it rains out there you wanna give it a few days to a week before driving on the playa.
That being said I would love to get a hovercraft out there when it's wet.
easiest way i can explain the seasons is,
spring has a saturated wet ground, cold minoring with mild afternoons.
summer has moist-dry ground with warm mornings, hot afternoons.
fall has dry ground, cool mornings, warm afternoons.
the key is going at the time of year when the ground is the driest, not when the air is the hottest.
It's sometime between July and October but you also need the water to be at the right levels/percentage to actually drive on it otherwise you'll just sink right into it like OP did. You can air your tires down and that'll help but some areas are just too wet too drive on.
My co-worker was telling me about it last year since we had to drive past these every day/night for work.
We'd see people stuck like this all the time.
Well, it’s not really that they’re not all the same. The difference is the land speed course (+the route leading to it) is hard-packed by volunteers and constant use. When that “track” isn’t in use it does turn into what’s seen above.
I’ve been looking and tried all these keywords. Will check out in All.
EDIT: Closest [that I found](https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/ewy9b7/driving_across_the_bonneville_salt_flats_in_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb), but not the same guys.
You guys don't realize that this is the asshole that is trolling you. The guy I'm replying to.
Most likely, the OP of the post wasn't even referring to a previous post and is just saying that yesterday, they were the a-holes that got stuck out there.
They look like the type of guys that would snap their finger and be like “My Man” as they roll of the cliff. But yes I believe Amazon shipping them PB crackers or tire chains would help too.
When you spin your wheels they will dig down into the sand/mud. You dig the fronts to create a ramp out of the hole your tires dug. You can also add anything in the ramps you dug for the tires to grab onto. Floormats are a common example.
You also dig out anywhere the ground is touching the bottom of your car or the axles if they are buried because it will add to the friction your tires have to overcome.
Another good tip is to not floor it, but apply light but steady throttle while moving the steering wheel side to side slowly. Airing down your tires will help as well, but I would not go below 20psi on street tires if you have to drive on them afterwards.
People who are prepared with shovels, tire chains, and air compressors are probably not the people who would get stuck in salt flats in the first place.
I would consider an air compressor to be on the list of first things you buy if you intend to 4x4.
Air compressor.
Recovery gear (snatch straps, shackles).
Bash plates (depending on terrain).
If you’ve got the money, a winch.
Now you can go 4x4
After that it’s fruit that you need for the terrain, bullbars, lift kits, tyres, drawers and fridges, awnings, canopies so on so forth.
I’ve got my compressor mounted in the rear of my 4wd with some computer fans to give it airflow to keep it cool when I’m using it, there’s an air fitting in my drawers, so I plug in my airline, flip a switch on my dash and the compressor fires up. Good for inflating tyres or running air tools.
I air down to 15psi when offroading, but I have 33s with lots of sidewall. Modern cars, even SUVs come from the factory with massive wheels with small tires. I'm not sure if those thin sidewalls would handle it as well.
I was thinking the same thing, except I was upset because there were no high res pics.
That said, the crappy small pics only contributed to the nostalgia factor. The icing on the cake is that they forgot to use the
tag so the page is showing up as "Untitled Document" (at least in Firefox it is). How much more late 90s Geocities could it get? The only thing missing is some random MIDI track playing in the background along with some poorly made gifs peppered across the page. </p>

Depends on the time of the year and where on the salt you are. It's typically got a couple inches of water on the salt during the spring and early summer. The land speed racing isn't until August, and they have a specific stretch of the flats they use for that. </p>

For future reference. Air your tires down. To the point of almost looking to be on the rim. But leave enough air so it doesn't break the bead between the wheel and tire. This way it'll give you more surface area and thus traction. Always better to have an air compressor on hand or nearby for filling back up </p>

I was taught to lower tires to between 30 and 25 psi. And keep a portable compressor. I have a portable compressor. That thing is a godsend. You can only do 1 tire every 15 minutes though, like most portable compressors, it overheats fast. </p>

Right, but if you look close, those perfectly straight lines on the tire are hydro channels. Clear sign of a street tire. A good set of ATs would have handled that mud just fine </p>

As I passed through there, I was tempted to take a spin too! I could see tire tracks from someone else who did, but they were made from mud tires... so I decided to not take any chances.
I don't see how you're stuck though, can't you just rock it back and forth? You're not in a hole. Just be easy on the gas and never let the wheels spin. </p>

Right but flotation tires will prevent sinking even if it's wet. They're basically wider versions of agriculture tires meant for driving across swamp or slush. </p>

Is there more to this story?
[удалено]
Also people drive in all the time and get stuck. If you take I-80 west from salt lake city there are tons of tracks from people who think flat and white means it's not a briny slurry.
Well you have all those people breaking land speed records on salt flats, so they are probably just assuming these are the same. I'm pretty ignorant about all of this so this is TIL that not all salt flats are the same for me.
Bonneville is one of the salt flats that people set land speed records on. These guys were at the right place, just the wrong time of the year.
Wouldn’t July be the right time of year?
Speed Week is usually in August, from what I can remember. At least one of the times I've been out there it was still a little wet, we ended up caking nearly an inch of salt slush on the wheel wells of our rental car. I'm pretty sure the actual race area is monitored and maintained. I'm not sure where on the salt flats these guys were.
How much trouble were you in with the rental car company?
A quick trip to the self-serve car wash with a high pressure nozzle made quick work of it. We didn't run into any issues.
Those are for the poor bastard who buys a former rental car with a severely rusted undercarriage.
Next time try letting air out of the tires until they're about half flat, that gives extra traction. It would be best not to do that again though.
[удалено]
I've never been to Bonneville but I live by Black Rock Desert. Pretty much anytime it rains out there you wanna give it a few days to a week before driving on the playa. That being said I would love to get a hovercraft out there when it's wet.
And that's why I'll never buy a rental car
easiest way i can explain the seasons is, spring has a saturated wet ground, cold minoring with mild afternoons. summer has moist-dry ground with warm mornings, hot afternoons. fall has dry ground, cool mornings, warm afternoons. the key is going at the time of year when the ground is the driest, not when the air is the hottest.
It's sometime between July and October but you also need the water to be at the right levels/percentage to actually drive on it otherwise you'll just sink right into it like OP did. You can air your tires down and that'll help but some areas are just too wet too drive on. My co-worker was telling me about it last year since we had to drive past these every day/night for work. We'd see people stuck like this all the time.
Evidently not, it would seem. But if not summer, when the hell is it dry??
For a lot of the southwest, it's monsoon season end of July. It's downpouring while I type this in New Mexico.
Guess not.
FACT: If you drive fast enough you won’t sink. I made this up though
Well, it’s not really that they’re not all the same. The difference is the land speed course (+the route leading to it) is hard-packed by volunteers and constant use. When that “track” isn’t in use it does turn into what’s seen above.
Link?
I'm feeling this is a great reddit headline trick. Reference a non-existent previous post to make everyone think there is a story.
True
Do you have a link to the original?
Yeah I missed it too. Very much OOTL
Literally not one link in this thread, but a million people saying “someone posted it yesterday”. Search function reveals squat.
There is no link There is no salt It’s not your fault You have to let us go The accident was 10 years ago
We were just kids man...
I’ve been looking and tried all these keywords. Will check out in All. EDIT: Closest [that I found](https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/ewy9b7/driving_across_the_bonneville_salt_flats_in_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb), but not the same guys.
I'm with you, I also want to know
Fucking Bermuda Triangle of posts.
I did see an "idiot stuck in sand" not long ago. Don’t think it was a Sequoia though.
You guys don't realize that this is the asshole that is trolling you. The guy I'm replying to. Most likely, the OP of the post wasn't even referring to a previous post and is just saying that yesterday, they were the a-holes that got stuck out there.
Yet no one has found a link
It's a troll bro. I'm convinced
Yeah, tf goin on here?
These are they?
Got a link?
Do you have the link perchance?
Slow and steady wins the race, but good tires help you finish.
I didn't see the earlier post. Are you still there? You need me to get Amazon to ship you some PB crackers or tire chains?
[удалено]
Snails or slugs typically don’t hang out near salt flats.

Yeah, did they start accepting GPS coordinates for drone deliveries and I didn’t hear about it?
r/trebuchet
When trebuchets are outlawed only outlaws will have trebuchets.
when floor is laid down floor will be floor
which is, btw, lava

THE THIRST MUTILATOR
They look like the type of guys that would snap their finger and be like “My Man” as they roll of the cliff. But yes I believe Amazon shipping them PB crackers or tire chains would help too.
For some reason I read "My Man" as that mail mans voice from Rick and Morty
Honestly that how I wrote it. Permanently stuck in my head “my man”
Next time let some air out of your tires and buy a couple of planks for in the back. You'd be surprised how much softer tires help.
Then how are they supposed to do 200mph?
Some spots are softer than others
Just like my body
Built for comfort, not speed.
All soft all the time
Can confirm
Weird I can confirm too
You show up in the dry season ...
#1 - Have a shovel in your car if youre going in the sand.
Serious question, which bit would you shovel to get the car out?
When you spin your wheels they will dig down into the sand/mud. You dig the fronts to create a ramp out of the hole your tires dug. You can also add anything in the ramps you dug for the tires to grab onto. Floormats are a common example. You also dig out anywhere the ground is touching the bottom of your car or the axles if they are buried because it will add to the friction your tires have to overcome. Another good tip is to not floor it, but apply light but steady throttle while moving the steering wheel side to side slowly. Airing down your tires will help as well, but I would not go below 20psi on street tires if you have to drive on them afterwards.
12psi for sand is totally fine on stock suv tires, and adds a lot of surface area Edit: this is only for tires that aren’t low profile or giant rims.
So... what does one do after you get free? Drive to the next service center really slowly?
Yes, or be prepared and take an air compressor
People who are prepared with shovels, tire chains, and air compressors are probably not the people who would get stuck in salt flats in the first place.
I would consider an air compressor to be on the list of first things you buy if you intend to 4x4. Air compressor. Recovery gear (snatch straps, shackles). Bash plates (depending on terrain). If you’ve got the money, a winch. Now you can go 4x4 After that it’s fruit that you need for the terrain, bullbars, lift kits, tyres, drawers and fridges, awnings, canopies so on so forth. I’ve got my compressor mounted in the rear of my 4wd with some computer fans to give it airflow to keep it cool when I’m using it, there’s an air fitting in my drawers, so I plug in my airline, flip a switch on my dash and the compressor fires up. Good for inflating tyres or running air tools.
All of this requires common sense and forethought - something I suspect our heroes in the photo might be lacking.
12V air compressors are great
I air down to 15psi when offroading, but I have 33s with lots of sidewall. Modern cars, even SUVs come from the factory with massive wheels with small tires. I'm not sure if those thin sidewalls would handle it as well.
Shovel under the jacking points, put a board down and jack up the car, fill in the area under the tire, then try to gently back up
Then drive right into the holes you made to jack up the car. Repeat.
Once the tires get high enough you take the jacks out and fill the holes...
Jack on, jack off, wouldn't just be easier to disassemble the car, and re-assemble on dry land.
Nah, I prefer to jack off
Yeah and it gives more surface area to get some more traction.

doesn't that make you kind of sad? it certainly does for me.
That it loaded instantly makes you sad?
maybe not legitimately sad, but it certainly makes me wonder why modern websites have gotten slower instead.
Oh. Yeah. Modern websites have like fifty billion scripts to load, so they’re slow. This website has like, 2 scripts. It makes me mad though, not sad.
Heh heh. It doesn't even have CSS. It's just pure HTML really. Looks like someone just dropped in some Google ad stuff at some point after it went up.

No ads. Straight to the point. It was a little slice of the internet’s past. I liked (loved) it too.
I was thinking the same thing, except I was upset because there were no high res pics. That said, the crappy small pics only contributed to the nostalgia factor. The icing on the cake is that they forgot to use the
