Dennis and I drove out to the salt flats on Sunday April 21st. Our objective was to check current salt conditions in preparation for the upcoming Test & Tune event scheduled for June 28th and 29th.
> We found the salt to be unusually dry for this time of year. We were surprised to see how little salt was picked up by the tires on the truck. That said, we found approximately the first two miles of both course one and two are rough and have a great number of potholes. From there all the way out to eight miles, it gets quite smooth and seems to be hardening up nicely. The salt crust is still very thin at the far end of the courses.
> We both came away encouraged with the current condition. We will watch closely what the weather brings and hope that it continues to improve.
> As usual we did find lots of garbage, remanents of campfires and the usual track destroying donuts left behind by the hooligans. That part is hard to stomach as it never used to be that way.
> Stay tuned for further updates.
The dates for Test and Tune is June 28th and 29th. The weather will be the determining factor.
