Title: USFRA Test and Tune 2025
Post by: TrickyDicky on June 25, 2025, 02:53:20 AM
There used to be an event planned for 27-29 June (i.e. this weekend), but no mention of it on the (new, streamlined) USFRA web site.

I'm guessing it has been cancelled/postponed.  Anyone know?

The USFRA cancelled the T & T a while ago, after they visit the salt and found out, that it would make no sense to damage the fragile salt surface just for the test meet...very wise...
and announced it on FB, as they was working on the new web site for the USFRA...the old web site had no updates to that time...
there was only a short note about the cancel here on Landracing.com

Thanks Thomas.

I don't do FB but occasionally it is possible to see a post via judicious searching.  Just found the following from 2 June:

QuoteDennis Sullivan, Larry Volk, and Monte Widdison were able to make it out to do another check yesterday. The end of the road to about the 2.5m is basically mud. It gets really nice from there especially the further you go towards the NE but it is thin. Rock hard but still thin.
After much deliberation and careful consideration due to the conditions of the surface of Bonneville, in order to preserve the salt for the rest of the events planned for the season and due to the lower level of entries for the June Test & Tune we have decided it is in the season?s best interest to cancel the test & tune.

Yeah,  I posted on the '25 speedweek about the cancelation .
Like most of us,  I don't care for fakebook or insta-geek.
