Thanks Don, just trying to decide if I am going to make an 1800 mile drive to Maine or a 1630 mile drive to Utah.

Our team is in the same boat edinir - its only about 2oo mi shorter for us to hit LTA Harvest event.  We are almost right in the middle between Bnvle & Maine

And Uncle Jimbo we have to remember temps in the low 70's in Maine and cheap lobster rolls, or 90 degrees and eating Mex food at the truck stop at Wendover.  I much prefer the drive out west as other than  a bit of traffic around Denver, I can keep the cruise control on 75 all the and make good time.  Heading northeast I seem to slow down in Virginia and never speed up again.   The big deal is to be able to race somewhere, anywhere.

You guys from anywhere but the east coast, they pretty much have to use I 95, try to avoid I 95 until you get to Mass. I go I 81 to Sdranton, Pa, then I 84 to I 95 in Mass. I 95 through Pa., NJ, NY, really sucks. Oops this is going to Loring!

If Bonneville doesn't work out and you don't want to go all the way to Loring you could go to the Colorado Mile Sept 4-6 https://www.usmileracing.com/the-colorado-mile/

When will the AMA & BMST have a decision on whether the salt conditions are safe or not, and if there is ample mileage for proper course length ?
Inquiring minds like to know.

Well, a lot can happen in 20 something days at Bonneville......All appendages crossed...... really looking forward to some "Boots on the ground Info" In 2005 we only had 5 miles to race on and we made it work.

 :-D I have a very good feeling we're going to race. We will make this happen, like we have every year.
We have all worked too hard and too long to just throw in the towel right now.
You all have one or two bikes to get ready..... I have hundreds.

Keep the faith, See you on the Salt,

I will say this.  If there is any way for us to race at BMST, the organizers will make it happen.  If folks do not know we literally raced on an island in the middle of a lake last year!!
