A proposal -- see attached diagram
Given:
1) It is the competitor’s responsibility to stop within the alloted deceleration zone.
2) In normal circumstances there is no reason why this cannot be achieved.
3) In extrordinary circumstances vehicles must be constrained to within the emergency zone.
4) If extrordinary circumstances arise, competitors have no basis to complain about using the arresting facility.
5) Competitors evading or otherwise avoiding the facility will be dealt with administratively.
The proposed type of facility and policy shows the BLM a good faith effort to contain errant vehicles and would present minimal impact on the lakebed.
Tire bundles could be on pallets for forklift handling or in lifting bundles for crane truck handling. This arrangement should be reasonably economical and logistically manageable given the task required. The extra “wings” of arresting net are to collect vehicles which may, under extrordinary circumstances, have somewhat departed from the nominal course width.
