This story should shed some light. It describes the feats of Ab Jenkins on
the salt
with reference to the circle track at Bonneville he ran on.

Topology maps of the Salt Flats show a Oval Track, International Course, Hot
Rod Course, and an Airstrip.

The Rand McNally map still (03 edition) shows a circle track at Bville.

Well, didn't they set endurance records at Bonneville with that
corporate-sponsored Olds "Quad-Four" streamliner, back in the '80s?
Seems like I also remember seeing a map of Bonneville Speedway showing long,
short, international , and endurance courses. As I recall, the endurance
course was a circle that was mostly northwest of where we have been running
recently. (Not toward the dike on the southeast.) Yes? No??
That northwest area is still pretty smooth, but seems to thin out quite a
bit.
