[Land-speed] Tearing up the salt

[Wester Potter]

Apparently Boyd Coddington's motorhome bogged down after going through 
the thin salt crust.  The rescue vehicles didn't fare much better and 
there is a very long, deep gouge in the salt and mud where they were 
marooned.  Pure speculation on my part ... but I can see the day when 
those big transporters may have to offload their cargo at the end of 
the pavement to preserve the salt surface for racing.  The motorhomes 
may have to be under a certain weight and restricted to a narrow alley 
leading to and from the pits and no using them as push vehicles.

The talk that the salt is back may be more fiction than we would like 
to believe.
