Salt conditions?
« on: June 07, 2011, 03:37:09 PM »
Anyone had a look at salt flats lately? Depth of water? Forecast for Speedweek etc?
We have had lots of rain and snow here this year,not sure about Utah.
Bonneville 2001,2002,2003,2004,and NO stinking 2005,DLRA 2006, next?
Well,sure can't complain about 2008--6 records over 200 and 5 hats from Bonneville,Bubs, and El Mirage for the team!

"I was out at the salt today checking the condition since I had heard there was a lot of water out there. It looks decent. There's no water above ground... just some soggy spots. A few weeks of heat should do the trick."

I saw this dated Sunday on another forum. I have no idea whether its true or not, just passing it along

Thanx, Joe

I've cancelled my SpeedWeek reservations and now will concentrate on World Finals -- the safe bet.  Anyone heard the weather forecast for September?

With all the discussion about window film I think I will wait about 30 days before packing.
