The salt flats belongs to each and every person that is a US Citizen and as such it is up to each of us to help to get the restoration process started.  :x

Actually its the responsibility of BLM.   :dhorse: :dhorse: :dhorse: :dhorse: :dhorse:
Its our responsibility to get them fired or replaced.   You can be sure if BLM was a private enterprise, hides would have been tanned by now.  :cheers:

Your comments are acknowledged and in princip agreed. However, it ignores the basic indications that the BLM is corruption intended or a personification of ineptness. Either way, the result is the same. More time given to decrease the salt surface.

Salty but dried mud will not be an El Mirage in the making any time in our life cycles. The disappearance of the salt is the problem.......just follow the money. The SALT is south of the highway and it came from north of the highway. :-(

When in question or in doubt, fire 'em all is a very good viewpoint when evaluating bureaucracies or politicians. :-D

If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

it might have something to do with 6 more DRYING weeks before it was going to be run on instead of 10 days

Hey Sparky, yeah I understand that, but my surprise was how FAST they were able to lay out 3 courses, when Monty indicated most was under water. Of course the access is probably STILL under and good thinking on their part not to do additional damage, and I also believe USFRA runs a different course from SCTA,no? Well no matter what, the pics sure do look pretty good considering we all pretty much didn't think we'de ever see that again! Just have to keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight to make it right PERMANENTLY  !!Hope for Sun and good salt to all !! :cheers:

USFRA and SCTA/BNI often run the same (basic) course.  USFRA has stuff like a separate course for 130/150 Clubs -- most likely, but not guaranteed that they won't be able to use an existing one.  I'll presume that sharing courses is discussed among the cognoscenti among the organisations.

Monte didn't exactly say everything was under water. He said things were wet in some areas and they were afraid not that dragging a course would be an issue but that the traffic might be in the wet areas:

"The area where we had planned to drag the course was in pretty decent shape.  However, there is still standing water at the end of the access road and the areas where we would have access to a pit area. We did not want to take any chances of causing damage to the surface and possibly jeopardizing future events."

We do in facocus the same courses as Speed Week. The costs of surveying and dragging are covered by the course prep fees and that is a shared account.
In looking at the photos on the SCTA Facebook page, it does not appear to me that a drag has been over any of the areas photographed.  I really hope this all works out this year.

Monte, are you sure that you want to admit - right here on the internet - that you really "facocus"?  I mean, after all, this IS a family-kinda-friendly site. :-o

Dang auto correct. At least that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.  What I meant to say,  was that we do in FACT use the same courses as Speed Week.
