  If the salt at Bonneville keeps disappearing, do not dispair. All is not lost.
     Maybe we could use Iran's oil and make a giant parking lot next to this.

Has anyone informed Reilly Industries about this new opportunity? Emerging country. Newly available raw meterial. When I was an investor I heard "When there is blood in the streets, buy." Looks like their money might be better off out of Wendver.

The tow is longer, but that cost might be offset by affordable hotel rooms.

So...has anyone actually looked at a map and tried to estimate how long a run could be made there?  May be quite a while before any Americans could make a pass there but maybe some folks from across the pond might check it out someday.  Wouldn't be the first pass in the Middle East.  Not sure if there is any such thing as Iranian motorsports but the younger generation there can't get enough of western entertainment.

They have a group called the Iranian Racing Federation.  Not a group I would want to race with http://www.rferl.org/content/article/1079220.html  Tony

I guess "Course Prep" would involve removing boats.

I wonder if Penske would allow Jim Jensen to take one of their rental trucks over their.

Could the gals substitue M/C leathers and helmets for Burkas?

The "IRF" racing to get out of Iran.

That lady in the photo is doing her part to change perceptions, banned for a while, but driving home with the trophy.  cool

I'd race her. Iran could use a few more sports where just being male isn't a win, a salt flats would be perfect.

See enough testosterone problems wandering around local dirt tracks. I don't even have to leave California to find more than a few of the "should be home barefoot and pregnant and not here racing" crowd.
