  Badman, knowing that such a esteemed fellow Kansinian as Stainless holds you in High Regard, your two cents are held in a special place (no not there you pervert) by those who have admired How much you have accomplished with so little funding.
  You speak, those in the know listen.............. even Stan                :cheers: :cheers:

Close Bob, but not exactly. Rookies normally run after the first 25 per the El Mirage Procedures. Since the line is four abreast with the rookies on the far right. See the SCTA website for the El Mirage Procedures.

Semi-delusional... Bob, I think that is apparent to most of the people that have ever met you...  or is that the people that have met me.....  :roll:
Been a lot of ups and downs the last week.... I'm thinking maybe check that the blue pills are the  ones you are supposed to take instead of the white ones... 
                                                             Was a one run Bob myself once... your habit....
                                                                    hope you get the chance to break it

The Save the Salt Coalition and SEMA have been actively opposing the Mesa Exploration Bounty Potash Project since it was first proposed a couple of years ago.  It should be noted that the mine would be located in Pilot Valley, not the Bonneville Salt Flats.  The two locations are geologically unrelated.  The Bounty Potash proposal has many regulatory hurdles and approval is not assured.  The link that was circulated was simply a video generated by the Mesa Exploration Corp which is seeking to fundraise money for its proposal.

Stuart, obviously not ideal but if their mine ended up going through is there a possibility we could get them to pump over to the salt flats like Intrepid?

   Stuart... several members have tried  to find the percentage of salt in the brine being pumped on the salt and if the
amount Intrepid pumps is monitored by anyone but them. Do you know?

   Thanks JL222

That was an automatic response that they received my email. Maybe still a little hope that they will investigate.

Stuart, I guess we are all happy to see you are monitoring our panic.  Most of the time they talk about Intrepid only mining potash... until we see they also mine and sell Machine Salt (salt with a little potash) and Magnesium Chloride (sea salt) both of those are major components of our racing surface.  HOPEFULLY SEMA and STS are looking at what they should and should not be harvesting and selling by the train load.

In the 2006 study the brine percentage was approximately 15%-18% concentration of dissolved salt.

NBC sure has gone to hell since David Sarnoff was the CEO. Can you imagine NBC producing a documentary series like "Victory At Sea" these days?
