I want to see a picture of this mud spot that kept us from racing while (from what I've heard) 99% of the lake bed was dry and in good condition. For many, many, many years the policy was always that the lake bed was closed where ever it was wet. It wasn't but a couple of years ago that we had a meet where a big wet spot on the east end was coned off and we (along with everyone else) were allowed onto the lakebed. Now, it seems if 1% of the lake bed is wet then the entire lake bed is closed. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. Unfortunately, I think some of the upper powers in the SCTA convinced the BLM operators that closing the lakebed if wet anywhere during the winter was a good idea which I think they've come to adapt as their policy all year long which is RIDICULOUS. I'm F'ing pissed off and I want some GD heads to role... or at least some heated yelling/screaming. The BLM is all but too happy to close off the lake bed, close up the visitor center and go home. F(you fill in the blank) the BLM!!! While there's been a lot of focus on saving the salt, it might be time we put some effort towards saving our dirt.
