Toy racing car on salt lake for land speed record

"FUN ON SALT" was captured at an annual Speed Week event in South Australia.

It is the remote Australian landscape and the colour of the car against the beautiful white of the dry salt lake which is striking to me. Additionally, however, I believe the dedication, hard work and passion in the teams behind these vehicles is amazing – all of them attempting, within their categories, to set land speed records (or just drive really really fast on an empty, dry salt lake).

It was a long yet worthwhile journey to this event; travelling over 1,000 kilometres in my Land Cruiser Troop Carrier and a long off-road entrance to the lake creating some car troubles of my own.

I like the vintage feel of the image and the fact that it could be from several eras.
