Spring 2015 Post 2014 Salt Flood SPEED WEEK SEASON PREPARATION SCTA-BNI
Treating the Wheel Packer the following spring after the flood
at the beginning of the 2015 Season as the salt grooming
begins. The condition of the unit is perfect even after
surviving the salt flood of 2014.

2016 SPEED WEEK SEASON PREPARATION Salt drying up is happening. 2016
Salt Conditions are excellent ! So Far.
Here's Pat McDowell with the drags and machinery on the salt in great shape with the Saltproofing USA Preservation Fluid and USA Foam Oil on the job. |
The
packing machinery is on the salt and working the surface..
The officials who have worked during this time have reported that the surface is very beat up and has lots of Grey sand on the salt and the salt is extremely crystallized and crusty. Additional work will be required before this surface can even be evaluated for usage with high speed timing runs.. |
|
The surface is grayed out and jagged from the crystallized salt that results after the flooded area drys out. |

This
totally Saltproofed wheel packer started new last year before
the 2014 season and still remains in pristine form. It has
already survived worse SALT conditions than anything before it
has ever know with the salt flood of 2014.. The previous wheel
packer had completely corroded away and fallen apart. It was
useless and scrapped as junk.

The 6 Ton Drags are also Saltproofed - they drag right on the SALT Surface which accumulates over it as a concrete like crust.. |

In 2015 The Rains returned and continued after all this prep work, putting the salt under water again, keeping it from being usable for land speed racing. | 2016
