A film about Teamwork, never slowing down - and the endless pursuit of speed…

glory oR BUST, ON salt and dust!

Teams from across America and beyond make the seasonal pilgrimage to another world.

Out there exists the otherworldly dry lake beds where thousand-year salt and mud rests flat upon the earth. In places like El Mirage and the legendary Bonneville Salt Flats, these pioneers gather.

Ragtag crews of engineers, master tinkerers and dreamers dare to risk it all. This remote cult of speed is the last true bastion of raw ambition—where man and machine merge in a high-stakes dance against the clock and the dirt. Here, legends aren’t born, they’re forged at blistering velocity, heart pounding speeds and sometimes fatal crashes.

This isn’t just racing—it’s religion, its brotherhood, its Speedweek. Where men become Gods and machines become immortal.
