Anybody know if salt is open Sunday to drop stuff in the pits if we get there early enough?

Anybody know if inspection is in the pits like SpeedWeek or back to the inspection tent?

Stainless,

This is the latest update from FB. At this time they may be updating the SCTA website as the link for me is not working.

WF Update #1 (9/25/20):

We made it to the salt this morning. Our first observation of the salt is that it is better than Speedweek. Once we started dragging we realized the salt is still really hard but somewhat smoother. We made a few passes and the course seems to be smoother overall. All of the donuts being spun by all of the vehicles are leaving black marks, which means the surface is hard and the traction will be good. The course is definitely better than Speedweek.

Pit layout has been started and we will number them like Speedweek. We have a lot of front row spots available. There was still a lot of clean up from fire pits, fireworks, pallets & debris?Very sad to see and a lot of extra work. It?s bad enough people come out and make a mess on a national monument, but then they don?t take the trash with them.

We have good weather, good salt?all we are missing is you?See you on the Salt!

I fly into SLC tomorrow afternoon and should be on the salt by 5 or so.  I'm not sure when the toilets will arrive - but maybe even today or tomorrow.

Yes, I do intend to live stream the audio, as I mentioned earlier, and I'll remind you that thew expected paucity of runs may make for some dead air time.  I'm considering how to help make it easier to listen from home - like I'll leave the audio going all day and will add an hourly summary as well.  I'll figger it out.

   I think the summary idea is spot on. Maybe more often if an exceptional run is made. If there was a way to record and rebroadcast for our listening enjoyment. Also to the newbies, dress worm, especially if your going to be out early. For new competitors with carbys, bring big jets :lol:

Everything on the stream is archived and is available for playback at any time for free - including right now, even though the stream isn't turned on.  There's a fee if you want a copy of an entire day. 

I tend to the hourly report so the folks will know when to listen, but I'll plan to modify that idea if it works out that I should.

I made it to O'Hare - now on to SLC.  I should be on the salt by late afternoon.

Okey-donkey, girls and boys.  The audio stream is up and running.  Today is set up and inspection and so on - but no racing.  I'll let the music run and make announcements now and then. 

Hey HEY HAY!~!  It's World Finals and we're here and the salt is HARD and DRY.

This is gonna be GREAT!
