Are we shooting ourselves in the foot ?

Stay ' tee says:
"100 trucks a day (24hours), so your saying that for the last 60years a truck loaded with salt has pulled out every 2.5 minutes, huh "

Is that how you do your math down under?

sorry, my bad, that should read "a truck pulls out every 14.4 minutes" 24 hours a day for the last 60 years,,

I don't think I can buy into the theory that these truckloads of salt have had an adverse effect on where we run.  The facility referred to (Morton) is in Grantsville - at Interstate 80 exit #84.  That's 80 miles away!   There are several mountain ridges (hills?) in between. There's another one a few miles west of there, but it's still a long way off.  I believe these outfits get their salt from evaporation ponds on the edge of Great Salt Lake itself, rather than surface deposits of salt.

We need to concentrate our efforts in terminating the removal of salt from the area where we run - by Intrepid Potash!

  IF in fact Intrepid is loading trucks with bags of salt, of course it affects the salt flats.

  Speedrattels post needs to be verified.

  Any other witness.

  SCTA/BNI and  SAVE THE SALT  are on the salt right now go look and ask.

  Save The Salt or BLM know anything about these trucks and what about the railroad cars how many and how much.

 Does Intrepid's lease allow selling salt if so how much?

The only company he referred to by name was Morton.  And he also said they were "on the east side".  So, I don't think intrepid is what he was talking about.   But Intrepid is screwing things up enough - even without trucks!

Go to their website. click on Salt.

"Our southwestern locations in Utah (Moab and Wendover) and New Mexico (Carlsbad) enjoy easy access to truck and rail. Intrepid Salt is favorably priced for bulk rail and truck, as well as packaged delivery in 50-lb bags or 2,000-lb totes."

Wendover is listed.

My last two trips to the Salt, we layed over for a day of decompression and family time.
Had a front row seat of twin belly dumpers coming down main street.
I hear there is a huge mound of dead salt stockpiled in Nevada.

"twin belly dumpers"

I'm confused.  Was that from the strip club?  I guess I could giggle it, but what were they wearing and what were the carrying?

Here ya go Stan
No need to thank me, glad to help

It's pretty clear that stripping is still part of the equation, Stan!

Sure salt is still going out, and the going
will probably be increasing as winter is seting in,
and the roads are icing ....................

Does anybody know if Intrepid it pumping again ?

By the speeds and condition of the Salt, without pumping,

LEAVE IT ALONE

Leaving it alone might be fine for only having 200-250 entries. But what happens when things get back to normal and we have 600 entries and some cars upwards of 9000 lbs with serious horsepower and 4 wheel drive.  No lull in announcing for Slim until late Wednesday. Now you are talking a completely different scenario.  Just saying.

There was no pumping this year. I would say that the historical record dry year is why the paper thin salt was as hard as it was and was usable. I think on a wet year a track would be nowhere to be found this year. We need a bunch of pumping or year after year of extreme drought. I fear is that in 5-10 years at best it's all done and we are all barstool racing. Just one guys opinion.

Let's examine the results of the Salt Laydown project.
