It seems to me, John, the core concern I've heard expressed on this thread
is not so much about publicity. It's that maybe "too much" (what ever the
heck that means) exposure would lead overcrowding. And possibly eliminate
the amateur nature of LSR. It's a thorny problem, and one that probably
won't go away.
I agree whole heatedly that Save The Salt is critical. We need to ensure
the BLM agrees with us that the pumping must continue. The salt flats are a
national park (monument?) and Reilly effecting it SHOULD be required to help
restore and maintain it if they are going to be allowed to use it.

Subject: Save the Salt
Most on this list have an opinion on publicity in one way or another. Not
sure
exactly where I fall on this issue, but I do know that if we don't help
"Save
the Salt" to raise more money we won't have such a wonderful surface to race
on, if we have one at all, in future years. I believe this is the last year
of
pumping. With no promise to continue into the future.
None of us individually, or perhaps even collective as LSR participants
/supporters are able to finance this project. We need more to keep our sport
alive right down to the basics of keeping a race course surface to race on.
The best way to do this, as I see it, is publicity through the media. As
Glenn
Barrett said "Any media coverage is enjoyed as long as it's not negative."
Hey
it can actual save our butts in this case.
