Title: Do you know the difference betwen BF Goodrich and a trampoline?
Post by: mc2032 on July 10, 2019, 10:43:09 PM

You don't have to take off your shoes to jump on BF Goodrich.

Hope the link works.  If not, it shows two morons tearing up the salt flats in a clapped out ex-cop car with BFG's support, implicit or implied.

Do not know how long these links will last before BFG takes them down.  If someone knows how to archive them, please do so.

I followed various links to there build pages and to be fair, there aware of the speedway track and were not messing with it
but in the mud along the side of the road
still not something i agree with , but not as bad as it gives the impression of damage to the racing area

I emailed them today citing the enormous amount of damage they have done. I understand they made a donation to Save the Salt. Not because of me but I?m pretty sure they have had a few emails.

Save the Salt has been in contact with BF Goodrich about the photo and they agreed to remove it today - together with the nearly 300 negative comments -- thank you LSR community!

A full report will follow with details. Until then, know this WAS NOT a BFG sanctioned event, or sponsored vehicle. The 2 dumb donkeys are Utah residents who should have known better. The BLM has been asked to prosecute, or at least issue a citation.

This car was clearly on the track, close to what is very near the 5 mile, not on the side of the road. Nevertheless, Save the Salt is adamant that there should be consequences for such destructive behavior ANYWHERE on the fragile salt crust and we view this as another glaring  BLM deficiency in its role as a protective steward because such reckless acts continue to occur with regularity.

Maybe the donkeys should be tied to the bumper and dragged around the salt?

Horrible judgment on their part, and sadly all too common.
