Like most of our guests, THE LEGENDARY DENNIS SULLIVAN was born with a love of cars and began other types of racing young. But eventually he found himself spectating at a race meet at the Bonneville Salt Flats and was hooked! After volunteering for the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association (USFRA) for several years he decided it was time to try the other side. He bought himself a street roadster and began setting land speed records not only at USRA meets but some East Coast Timing Association (ECTA) meets as well. He eventually became and still is president of the USFRA and chairman of the Utah Save The Salt Alliance. Dennis gives us some insider baseball on Save the Salt and the issues surrounding it.
