There is a storm currently on the coast of California and Oregon. We have an eye on this front. It is predicted that it may hit Wendover Monday night. We will keep you informed of its direction and intensity. Otherwise the salt is great. The weather is great. The workers are happy.

"Dodged the bullet again."

The storm went through the Wendover area with cold winds and snow on the mountains. But there was no significant rain on the salt. The best available tracks are the Speedweek # 1 and # 2 courses. Course # 1 suffered a bit of rain damage so we are re-dragging both courses in their entirety. The pits and entry roads are established and we are "on schedule" for opening and inspections on Tuesday.

We have 145 pre-entries to date (107 cars and 36 bikes). GO Salt

Our onsite expert has visited both of the Speedweek courses and they are dry and hard.
SW Course #2 (the one USFRA ran on) will need some dragging but should be fine. SW Course #1 has not been used since SW and it sustained some damage in the late August rains. We won’t know how much is repairable until we start dragging Saturday..

Unless there are weather events (none forecast), there is little we can report until we start work on Friday.

STILL LOOKING GOOD AND 10 DAY FORECAST FAVORABLE

Onsite reports from both the "end of the pavement" and the Intrepid facility this morning indicate no rain and dry salt. We will have an onsite "Course inspection" late today or tomorrow and will update the Website ASAP thereafter.

September, 22th, 2007

We are watching the current Wendover rain situation and will have onsite "damage assessment" early next week.

Looks like the last storm bypassed the salt. We are expecting a great event.
