      HOLD TH' PHONE !



   AMEN to Glen,  Dan W  JD and all the other wise and seasoned veterans...

  THEY know better than (almost) any because,   THEY   volunteered through 
the years

  EVERYONE needs to not only realize this -but to get down on your knees and 
thank them for their service to all racers, and ask forgiveness of them for 
all the bitching and whining.  None of them controls the weather for cryin' 
out loud.  I also seriously doubt anyone loves LSR more than they.

  God  I jus wish I could be on the way there  -rain OR no rain.

   Instead I'm stuck here in New Yawk -as usual.

  cheers, "Dirt Track Doug" in So. New York,

  -18 miles from Square Deal Raceway,
  -22 miles east of Action Park Speedway,
  -60 miles northeast of Champion Speedway
  -105 miles south of "the  Syracuse  Mile" ...
  -265 miles north of Williams Grove Speedway

   and  -2425 miles due east of the Bonneville Salt Flats
                     -but never more than a few feet from a cold one

All of the name calling and whining about the salt report does nothing to
help. The advance crew that go up early to evaluate the salt are VOLUNTEERS,
they work, they have a business, they need to take the time off to get to 
the
salt, look over thousands of acres of that flats to try to fine enough  area
to layout the courses, the pit area, the roads necessary to support the 
meet.

If they find we can pull it off you should thank them, not get pissed 
because
they wait an additional day to make the call. Remember this event takes 
around
three weeks to make happen that includes locating, surveying,putting down 
the
black lines, setting up all of the support equipment, laying miles of wire,
placing 1000s of cones etc. This takes time and people(volunteers) to make 
it
a reality. Then the meet is run and all of the tear down, cleaning of
equipment and storing of same taking the trailers back to California, 
cleaning
them and getting ready for a lake meet a few days later.

If it don't happen this year so be it, but don't belittle the volunteers 
that
make it happen on their own time.

Glen
