Larry Volk was on the salt a few days ago (early July) and reports that it looks very good for the upcoming racing season. Based on what he reported there will be three courses again for Speedweek. The site for the long course has been chosen -- but won't be surveyed and set up 'til all are comfortable that there won't be a weather disaster. A long course and two short courses have been dragged in to shape, and the short course is dragged for 8 miles in case the present long course gets farkled by weather. The special course is four miles long.
Thanks to Dallas Volk for correcting me on the details I got wrong when I first posted this. Oh, yeah -- and I hear that Larry V. was treated to a Father's Day meal at the Salt Flats cafe, where Marcelo is still firmly in charge. We look forward to meals there again this year.
Stay tuned for further updates.
