Their real bases are out of sight, agreed. But that doesnt explain why they appear floating in the air -- given only the earth's curvature, you'd still see the mountain meet the ground, except it'd be at a "virtual" base. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.195.165.72 ( talk) 22:16, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I added a History section and some information from utah.com regarding the first uses as a speed trial course. -- Jrishel 19:03, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
I removed the reference to the speed record set in 2005 for Harley Davidson motorcycles. It was too specific, and not relevant the the general article. Reproduced below:

The section titled Salt crust thickness does not actually state the thickness of the salt crust. That is very silly. 98.124.11.221 ( talk) 23:53, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
I removed the Historical Timeline which had been added to the History section, intending to move it to the talkpage before I realized it's a copyright violation, copied from www.savethesalt.org/timeline (@ Rhonnie29).

The landing was at the Utah Test and Training Range, quite a bit to the south of the salt flats. I know that's true, and the cited reference does not say that it landed at Bonneville. Probably the whole section should be deleted.
