SW Pre-Trip ? Update #2
In the interest of safety first, plus wanting to provide the best racing surface possible, we have instituted a plan B. That is to move forward with one long course plus Courses 3 & 4. The Salt is still growing & drying rapidly, making grooming of Courses 1 & 2 almost impossible. Rough areas about the 4 mile on both courses are probably not going to be fixable at this time. So we have decided to use the a course parallel to the "International Course". That will allow us to move the starting line back about 1 1/2 miles, giving us nearly 5 miles of good Salt plus plenty of shutdown area. We sincerely believe that is the best option to keep racers safe & still provide a fast track.Courses 3 & 4 are groomed & after a light touch up when we return, they're race ready!Stay tuned for more updates tomorrow!
Thanks!

SW Pre-Trip ? Update #3
We have finished our work for this trip. We did some dragging on our new course & it has really helped. When we return for Speedweek will continue on that course & light touch up on Courses 3 & 4. The water at land?s end is almost gone and the Salt continues to change every day, but it's changing in our favor right now. So be nice to Mother Nature, we need her help!
We'll see you all on the Salt!
