I won't dig around in the Forum archives, but something like only a month or two ago I wrote a bit about the meeting that was held at the Shootout a couple years ago discussing the salt that was a long way away from where we're used to racing. Participants included Mike Akatiff, BLM, I think I remember some Native representatives there, some other racers, and Mike Cook. It was to discuss the bare possiblities of racing there.
Basics: Access would be from a good portion of the way back I-80 towards SLC - maybe like the 50-mile marker. You'd head north across a bunch of flats (alkali and salt and dirt) a big bunch of miles -- what was it, 20 or so?) and cross the tracks (over the crossing that'd have to be built) and then you'd be near to the big salt flats up there. Permissioins would have to be gained from the various land owners -- BLM, Natives, railroad, whatever.
Absolutely no comforts of home or community nearby - bring your own fuel and generators and so on. Way the heck out there, too. In other words, not likely to be for a big race event, but maybe dandy for single-team efforts or MAYBE the Shootout, where there's a very small number of participants that'd have to go through all of the hassles.
Go find that post and the entire thread. Later - - -
