[Land-speed] Fw: FW: Fossett Update July 11

[Jon Amo]

GLen is correct. I was up there and saw the course that Fossett has marked
out. It runs to the right of the Speedweek Combo course #1. Right next to
it, not on it. And it starts approx two miles back from the Speedweek start.
I also dont think it runs on the international course, I think its close to
it but not on it. Fossett running there is great, the only thing I dont
think will do good is the skid brake, not sure about the effect of that on
the salt???
BLM has been on the SCTA/USFRA/BUB side when they were deciding on where he
could run. Part of it was he couldnt cross or run on any exisiting courses
that were being used... OR something close to that anyways..

The courses are laid out and SCTA & USFRA & Bub  all know the locations. Jon
Amo was up there a couple of weeks ago and saw the markers. I don't think
there will be a problem with anyone hurting the salt and where we run at
speed week.
