If the Democrats are for it then the Republicans and there fore the majority will be against it.

I don't perceive it as so.  Every other Senator and Governor who has signed on in the form of letters of support of our position to the BLM have been Republicans. I don't think it's Pollyannaish to think that the minority leader signing on has done anything but to give a green light to Dems to at take our position seriously.

I'm optimistic on this one - and I'm usually not.

They smell blood in the water. Read the sentence where they suggest that the BLM might need to look at alternative sites and then offer up their own....  :evil:

I don't have a problem with the Nevada contingent supporting the Utah position, but gently reminding the Utah contingent that Utah may not be the only option.

It's almost as if we're being courted . . .  :wink:

The latest edition of Hemmings has a short article on the salt deterioration. Word is filtering out- I've met even non-racers who seem to have heard somewhere about the BSF problems.

To keep it honest here, that pic is misleading & was taken from the east bound side of the freeway showing the dirty gap between it & the west bound side.

When there was a salt crust on the flats, there was also a visible crust on the area between the east and west lanes. The area between is just the bottom of the lake with the highway right away built up on it. Drove across it 8 time a month from 1972 on.

The pic was from the east bound lane, and most of what you see is in the median

What the pic does not show is the fact that wherever the lake was not covered in water, it looked EXACTLY like the median......

As I continue to follow and work on the Public Land Issue here in AZ I am happy to say that Az's Gov. has appointed someone to follow this issue, thankfully I have know her for several years. 

AS soon as the written plan is published I will take the responsibility of gathering all of the Az  LSR racers signatures I can and will then send it to Gov. Ducey requesting his support of this plan. Requesting a letter from him to  Az's  US representatives and Senators, stating his support.

 We have 3 Reps. and I US Senator who are on committees overseeing the BLM, I will then work with other racers in these Representatives  various districts and the Senators offices in the districts where we have LSR racers.
