I think everybody would have a great time. Perhaps a three day event to make
it worth the trip. Common rules and classes. Perhaps separate records like
Muroc or not depending on course surface, length, altitude etc. Perhaps a
perfect place to put World, short course, Records to the test. Absolutely NO
FIA.
This would also eliminate any problems that may arise with salt conditions
and having another event at Bonneville. The problem would be sufficient
volunteers to make it happen. September or July? Or?
As for history we can make our own
