(You’d be pleasantly surprised what all you can find in this store.

Also on the Utah Side of the border are the following which we often frequent include: You’ll often find the RD noshing on curry from there. The Mexican place has moved into Wendover city proper but the food in the new Indian restaurant is quite good. I highly recommend trying the garlic naan bread. They obviously have gas & food but they have nice bathrooms & shower facilities too. FOOD & GAS: We encourage our race participants to visit the Sinclair Convenience Store at Exit 4. There are no open fires allowed on the salt unless in portable fire-pits and all ash and other refuse must be taken off the salt and properly disposed of. (Wendover Nugget, Montego Bay, Peppermill, The Rainbow & Red Garter.) If its a dry year you are also more than welcome to car-camp on the salt at the Start/Finish area as well, as we'll have event toilets there. Just be aware that they are loud & full of smoke. Of course, you can always stay at one of the Wendover Casinos if you want that little taste of mini Vegas. There are several other reasonable choices on the Utah side also: It is newly renovated, includes breakfast, has an indoor pool & is pretty amazing. We highly recommend the Best Western Salt Flat Inn. We encourage staying on the Utah side of the border if you want to stay smoke free. The motels on the Utah side of the state line are generally pretty affordable if booked online, but as I've learned the hard way, don't call them directly as their direct rate is often $20 more per night. HOTELS, CAMPING & OVERNIGHT INFO: There are several hotels in the Wendover area, both on the Utah side and the Nevada Side, including five Casinos. You will make suggestions as to where NOT to take certain vehicles at the pre-race meetings based on the current road conditions. If you are bringing crew with you then they'll most likely use this as the crew car too. If you are not local there is NOT a taxi service or UBER that will get you this far. If you are flying in, book your flight to Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), rent a car and drive West on Interstate 80 directly from the Airport. The drive from Salt Lake to the Bonneville Speedway where the race starts is entirely freeway, and maintaining 75+ MPH is usually no problem, so the drive takes just under 2 hours. The nearest Metro area is Salt Lake City, UT 120 miles to the East. The Bonneville Salt Flats and the Bonneville Speedway are located just 4 miles East of Wendover UT/West Wendover, NV.

Getting to the Salt Flats is way easier than it was in 1860.
