I must have made a wrong turn and ended up here. Now how do I get back home. It's a "Bucket List" thingy. Great time on the salt. ::bounce ::thumbup ::headbang ::LAMBO

Awesome!
Be careful of "salt fever" or you'll be building the Diablo for 300 MPH. :)

Being this my rookie time at the salt, my son and I tried to do our homework so that we wouldn't look like rookies but the immense viewing area left us in awe. We set up our tent at the 3 mile marker. This means that you are now 3.5 miles from the start line. You cannot see the cars start. You definitely know when they are coming though. What a rush and the sound when they approach and go by. Speaking of going by, they are over a quarter of a mile away from you if they are running on the closest track to you. They were running 4 tracks so the farthest track was over a mile away from us. The sun off of the salt makes it impossible to see the view finder on the video camera. (Smart photographers had a towel over their heads to correct this problem) I didn't realize why until after we left. Maybe next time. Jim

Wow....
I was just there last month and it was flooded, about 3 or so inch of water and man it was like a mirror...... Talk about blazing bright. I took my rental few feet off the road and was sinking. I was told uhmmmm warned that if I get stuck in the salt bed it would cost me in-excess of $800 to have someone pull me out (lol but I had to go on that gorges salt even if it was few feet off the road. I will post pic later.... If you have not gone there, it is a site to see, By the way just across form there you are into Nevada and casinos (not the best) but you still have cheep rooms (on weekdays) and buffets......
All I can say is I loved it there.... Isn't Mother Nature AWESOME...
