Well. . . now what?
That is sooo close to my finals! I think I might be out by then, by like a day. Schedule it! If I'm out by then I'm down.

They might need a permit to run there though.

We should be able to run too... since we have a specific scientific purpose to run there, I don't see why not.

This is one time when I might make the exception to fill up with race gas. I wouldn't want to melt another piston running under full boost in overdrive.

I have been there its not that far and it has a pretty large open area although it is hard dirt not asphalt so I don't know how much that will affect top speeds.

Yeah as far as I know. I went back in 07 and we just drove on unloaded our bikes and went riding at that time I had my S-10 programed and I got that bad boy up to about 110 or so. I think there are rangers but I think I may have seen one the entire day.

As far as I know to it is public land open to public use. What rules apply exactly and how they're enforced I have no idea.

Of course it's wiser to do it with the timing organization as you will get a certified, no BS time, and there will be useful add-ons like emergency medical personnel and fire suppression experts.

Maybe we should limit this trip to only those with Z rated tires or better.

The org does tech inspections and puts people into various categories. Asumming it's like the salt flats you have to move up progressively; you don't just go an drop the hammer on your first run.
