Denis has passed on the salt is similar to the great conditions we had last year. We should be in contact again here in the next couple days, and I'll get more info.

This is good news, thanks for passing it on. I'm guessing with two tracks the streamliners will be able to choose which they want to run on. Nice touch if this is so?

This is in the BUB section, so are you asking about BUB or Speed Week.  At BUB there is suppose to be one shorter track for "run what you brung" and the long international track for the streamliners and others running AMA/FIM.

At the SDRC meeting I was fortunate enough to attend before El Mirage the report they read from SCTA said there would "probably" be one staging lane for the two long/short courses at Speed Week and "they" would then peel you off to one course or the other depending on how the staging and runs were going.  This was my interpretation and might not be right.  Also they (SCTA) said that a lot of this is still in the planning stage on how it will run and be implemented.

c ya,

Sum

Time, tide, and the environment wait for no man.
No matter what, one. two. three, or whatever track designs will be still subject to Mother Nature and the mining operation, therefore out of organizers hands.
Whatever you find is what you have, the difference will be desire and hard work.
One day a person can look at it and their experience, bolstered by their desire will see one thing, and another day , another person will see it differently.
Sum heard of some of that the other night and sadly it is not common knowledge, but Landracing.com does help. :wink:
