Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials Announced for 2024

FIM is proud to announce that the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials (BMST), an FIM Land Speed World Records event, is officially on the 2024 calendar.

Having originated in 2004, BMST now heads into its 20th year as the largest FIM World Record-setting motorcycle event. The 2024 BMST event is scheduled to take place 25-29 August on Utah’s famous Bonneville Salt Flats International Raceway, the epicenter of world record land speed racing.

BMST is also home to AMA Land Speed Grand Championships. This co-sanctioned event, promoted by Deliciate Promotions LLC, allows racers to contend for an FIM World Record or AMA championship. Two race tracks, each running short and long courses, over five days of competition ensure ample track time for motorcycles (and in some cases, three-wheelers) to reach their speed goals.

“We’re already looking forward to a great year on the Bonneville Salt Flats for the 2024 Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, the premiere motorcycle land speed racing event,” said Event Director/Owner Delvene Reber. “The FIM sanction brings a true world-class level to BMST, where there is something for everyone. Racers can compete for an FIM World Championship, an AMA National Record, or come out for pure fun in the Run Whatcha Brung class. We look forward to seeing many different competitors and race machines from around the world come out to the Bonneville Salt Flats International Raceway this summer, August 25-29.”

Throughout its 20 years, BMST has seen great moments in land-speed racing history, such as the 2006 streamliner shootout between Denis Manning’s Bub 7, Mike Akatiff’s Ack Attack and the late Sam Wheeler in his E-Z Hook streamliner. Along with contenders in many classes, this year may see a return of streamliners bidding for the absolute world record.
