The 200 MPH Club (often called the "Dirty Two Club" at Bonneville) is an association of land speed racers. To join, a racer must drive a vehicle over 200 MPH at a sanctioned event. They must also break the existing class record. This means simply hitting 200 MPH is not enough; they must set a record at that speed. Members receive a red hat to mark their achievement. It represents a lifetime of engineering and racing dedication.
