I would strongly recommend against giving the salt flats a try. A number of
years ago a group of us were doing the west coast Pros. The ones in Salt
Lake and San Francisco were a week apart so we took the time off. On the
trip to SF, we stopped at the flats and I couldn't resist and took my BSP
Z-car out for a run. I was a kick and we got pictures, then went to the
nearest town and spent about $10 in quarters at the car wash trying to get
all the salt off the underneath. Never got it out of all the crevices and
the body payed the price a number of years later.
