Nathan,
Thank you for your observations and all the hard work and travel you, and a lot of other guys put into the 2014 Speedweek the never was.  :cry:
At this point, our team will just register and plan for the next event possible, and repeat.

I have only been involved with LSR and Bonneville for a blink of an eye (since 2011, with Skoda UK), compared to the Decades represented by so many Salt Junkies. That said, I plan to stick around. Being a bystander and complaining is not in my blood...
Sitting in Wendover, frustrated, for two days last weekend gave me time to think about all this. My friends and I perhaps, ARE the young blood alluded to previously in this thread... I plan to begin participating and adding people, influence, and sheer will to the USFRA board, beginning immediately. I don't know what else to do...

Just decompressing (but not unloaded yet) from my 5100mile commute to Wendover. On cancellation day texting to my son, who is a world class birder/ornithologist who works for the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology I mentioned I thought this was an El Nino year (like 1982 when I did the same, drive to Wendover and have entire meet cancelled). He said that if Peruvian Boobies go north to Panama, that this = El Nino. So if anyone sees a Peruvian Booby north of Peru, don't plan on racing. I think there was one in the sewage treatment plant in west Wendover.  :cheers:

LOL. I considered that in the differential.

Nice to meet you at the end of the road Saturday, Slim.

I think we need a "like" option on this forum.

Jimmy Six, this is when something catches our attention, but we don't want commit a post to acknowledging it, just a "like". In this case I thought it was lulzy having been to the strip club in Wendover.

 The address of the strip club would be some useful information in my opinion.  JC

Couldn't agree more on the like option.

Haven't seen any Boobies flying around down my way, we might be safe. :evil:

Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

This was the rain storm that really added to the mess up on the salt.

This is what it was like in the parking lot at the 6.
