Saving the Salt

[Sumner]

There are a couple pics on the Bonneville Land Speed Racers group on facebook page that says they were taken today @ 2:00pm and they don't look bad. I am hoping for good word from the SCTA next week. Here is the link to one of the pics https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204416582284141&set=gm.663300230474170&type=1 Sorry to those that don't have facebook, I haven't figured out how to post pics directly to the forum yet.

Sum,

IIRC you wee in my truck when I showed you that area.

Because a photo of salt is shown does not mean that is our race area.

I have a question. everyone on this thread says that a study needs to be done on the salt. it seems to me that what needs to be done is that more brine needs to be pumped onto the salt is that not the answer to the problem.

Very true DW but it looks better than the pics I have seen from the SCTA visit on the weekend of the 4th which is encouraging. I know we don't know exactly where it is, doesn't tell us anything about the actual thickness, doesn't tell us anything about the access to the race area and doesn't tell us anything about the weather between now and speed week but it sure makes me more optimistic about the conditions than what we have seen in the last week or two. If nothing else it is some motivation and hope to get us through the weekend until we get some official word from the SCTA's visit next week.

that picture looks great, lets hope it all looks that good. weather looks dry for 10 days or so.

BasementBorn, Salt Talks is a social function.  We get together in a non-race location to eat burgers, drink beer/pop/water, and shoot the breeze telling lies about how fast we used to be, or how fast we would have gone if we hadn't driven over the crank the day before.  We auction off stuff and sell t-shirts and in general -- goof around.

Great idea to have a forum out on the salt to discuss serious stuff -- but at least up 'til now -- Salt Talks hasn't been anything but a fun time.  We'd be happy to see you there.

Looks like from the wayside on I80
White salt is encouraging though

basementborn etal....each year this hysteria stuff gets worse and worse....

a picture that makes you feel warm and fuzzy today and "make you feel more optimistic" means
diddly squat....about two days or 10 days from now...


it DOESNT MATTER.....

ie 2009 WOS...showed up to a LAKE, some veterans that drove over 4 days "knew" there
was no hope and left....inspections on access road pavement.....2 days later salt opened up... some of the fastest runs in history were made, Poteet
ran a doorslammer 300 + first pass after the impossible conditions 2 days prior

this is Bonneville.....

  Dan, of all the posts on the subject your short post carries more weight with Me than all the rest (including my own).
  For all the years I have posted or lurked on this site including before I helped cause the shut down of Landracing.com under the previous owner, You and I haven't always agreed but I have never respected any one in the SCTA/BNI as much as you.
  For you newbies, Dan is the only official to try his best to answer any and every question asked on this site, put out many fires, clarified rule wording, has never seemed to be judgmental but at the same time not willing to kiss any bodies ass either.  Just a real straight shooter who tries to make the rule book understandable to all of us in all the four wheel vehicle classes.
  It probably won't surprise many of you reading this but I am sure that I have been a real pain in the ass to him over the years, but I think He also knows that I speak from my Heart and not through my Ass (my opinion only but I am sticking to it).
  Dan has been a part of our sport for not only many years but from top to bottom.  When He speaks, most all pay attention.
  And to you Dan, both Land Speed Racing and the value of this site would be greatly diminished if you were not helping all of us racers chase our dreams.
  And besides, if I am ever going to get a Red Hat, This post sure can't hurt my cause....................  One Run Bob, out.............................

Well said Bob! A few people are the backbone of LSR, Dan is one.
By the way, hows the drinking thing?
