I think along those lines is what might be possible:

 only time will tell but I sure suggest we learn to PRODUCE what ever we/they  may need GPS points, Cones, Tape, moisture meter and a new agreement will probably be needed.

Poor Salt Conditions - all topics merged into one

Before we get into this topic - please note:  I've seen a whole bunch of topics concerning the salt and the poor condition of it in re: racing in 2015, so I'm going to agglomerate those into one big topic.  I'm thinking that anyone wanting to see the entire picture - at least as it has been discussed here on landracing.com - will be able to read everything without having to go back and forth.  If I missed something that you find -- please let me know so I can put it here, too.

Thanks.  Jon a/k/a SSS a/k/a head Handlebar Holder, landracing.com

Early June too. Still over a month till the test an d tune. Plenty of 90+ days till then and 100+ days till speed week. Far too early to worry.

It's time for an update.  The weather here has been hot and dry for the last several days and the long range forecast calls for more of the same. We are monitoring the salt conditions as often as we can. The water is going away but when we will be able to do some dragging has yet to be determined.  Keep your eyes on our website for official updates and status of the Test-N-Tune.  All plans are going forward at this time and we feel very good about being able to host the event.

We here at Carbinite LSR are really hoping this happens. We have also been watching the weather but any salt reports would help. If the test and tune can not happen, it changes our strategy on how we prepare for the rest of the season drastically. Weather looks hot and dry for the next 10 days. Humidity is also projected to be in the low teens everyday which I would think would help?

Received my membership vehicle stickers.   Notice  I left room to the left for my SCTA, Gear Grinder, and 200 Club stickers.

But these are two of organizations that are leading the fight to maintain access to public lands  CORVA is mostly Ca. specific and Blue Ribbon works across the USA.

I ask that you consider joining these 2 and help in our fight for continued access.

Next 14 days also look very good. Monte, how many days ahead of an event do you need to start course prep?

Rob, as the plan stands now, I will be going out over the July 4th weekend and doing the course prep. The 3 day weekend will give us enough time to get the track, pits and return roads ready.
The temperature is supposed to reach 100 here this weekend. It has been plenty hot the last few days.
