Suppose you attended the Triple Crown of Rodding (TCR) event last year. In that case, you are already aware of the excitement during the awards ceremony that helped raise funds for the Gary Sinise Foundation. People contributed from the heart, not just from their wallets, and last year we raised nearly $70,000 to support our nation’s veterans, first responders, heroes, and defenders.
The TCR is honored to announce that it will once again host a fundraising event to benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation, donating 100 percent of the proceeds. But here’s where it gets even more exciting! Suppose you’re attending the TCR this year. In that case, you will see the incredible Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band performing one of their amazing concerts, designed to uplift and entertain our heroes, servicemembers, and defenders worldwide!
Gary Sinise, actor, humanitarian, and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, has said, “While we can never do enough to show gratitude for our defenders and their loved ones, we can always do a little more!” Make plans NOW to attend the “Event of the Year.” For more information, visit triplecrownofrodding.com.
The Bonneville Mile for Street-Legal Cars
The Bonneville Mile will be held July 11-13, 2025. This course will cover 1-1/2 miles on the Bonneville Salt Flats, featuring timing traps at the 1/2-mile, 1-mile, and 1-1/2-mile marks and an extra mile for shutdown. The course will be located as close to the end of the road as possible to minimize salt exposure to vehicles. Spectator parking will be available on the salt, but please note that there will be no pit areas and no work allowed on vehicles on the Salt Flats.
All vehicles must be street legal and must be driven to and from the course. There will be no pits on the Salt Flats, however, a staging area will be available in the parking lot across from the truck stop at the Interstate exit. Vehicles will be escorted in groups to and from the end of the road.
Secure trailer parking will be available on the airport grounds in Wendover, and hangar space will be provided for overnight car parking. We are also working on having drive-on lifts, wash-down equipment, and salt neutralizer resources available at the airport.
The rules will follow those used at the Arkansas Mile: Cars from 2009 and newer can run in factory trim up to 199 mph, while vehicles of all ages are welcome. Please refer to the links below for complete rules. If you exceed the speed limit for your safety equipment, your time slip and run will still count, but you must compete at a shorter distance for the remainder of the event. For example, if your street car runs 206 mph in the 1-1/2 mile, you can only run 1 mile for the rest of the event.
The cost to register will be $1,650.
In case of cancelation, you will receive a 75 percent refund of $1,237.50, or you can choose to transfer your registration to next year’s event or any future ECTA event.
To register for the event, please visit the ECTA Bonneville Mile, create a profile, and submit an application for the Bonneville Mile. Once accepted, you will receive an email notification and the date your invoice is due.
