Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

to keep in-line with "rules" I'm curious if an event gas/vendor has been solidified yet?

Anything ECTA or SCTA legal is also LTA legal. Bring 'er on up !
Between now and LTA/09, there will be Coefficient of Friction ( COF) tests on our track surface(s) to judge as well as possible the best tires to mount on competing vehicles.
As it is mostly asphalt and some concrete, typical high performance street tires will be fine for most under 150 mph vehicles. For the more seriouser racers, we'll post whatever we find to enhance their decision on rubber choices. This is a total necessity, not just a tuning option. Anything gained in acceleration also applies to deceleration and steering and handling. KeyWord. SAFETY.
 We would obviously make these tests  as soon as possible, but due to the four feet of snow and six inches of ice on the entire surface, we will relegate that to when the snow melts. In May ? It was 47 below there two weeks ago, an all time state record.
Are you listening Al Gore ?

Interesting.  I'm slow keeping up.  I had heard that this might end up being 1 1/2 miles per run.  It would be cool to have a timing trap at 1 mile (to keep venue comparisons a "little" more apples to apples) and another set at 1.5 miles.  We could see some amazing speeds at that distance and not on the salt.  Just tossing that out.  I've got a few other threads to catch up on before I babble further.

Rustman the 1 mile lights has been babbled about in one of these threads. I think everyone agreed it would be cool but I don't recall if they will do it. I'm thinking no as financially & logistically it can be prohibitive, not to mention the headaches a similar system encountered at Maxton and with big A being mentored by the Maxton folk I'm sure he's been warned.

However, feel free to report back what you come across in the threads as I honestly don't recall the final answer.

We ran 1-1/2 mile at Muroc and it took every bit of shut down area for a lot of the fast cars. As I recall it was one mile and a little rough at the far end. But it's dirt.

I'll save you some thread shredding.
It's a one and a half mile  track , start to traps.
Starts with 1000ft of Concrete ,followed by almost 7000 ft of Asphalt, then 3000 ft Asphalt, 1000 ft of same concrete as start, then 1000ft of emergency grade (abraded)asphalt, then sandy soil, then Canada. If you stop over the border, you are on your own. Actually, it's about nine miles, due North, five if you make a right.
 I conservatively estimate better speeds than Maxton, just don't assume the logic  of 50% more distance, 50% more speed even if the vehicle has the power and can hook up.
You'd need crazy HP and Aero most vehicles do not have. But a few do.
Wait for the C.O.F. numbers to be made public.
