déjà vu

IMG_0531“from French, literally “already seen”, is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced, has already been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not.”

this is what i am experiencing regarding Bonneville. Mother Nature seems to be against land speed racing again this year, she has drenched the salt with many a storm and it looks like there may only be a stretch of salt in good enough condition for one short course.  a short course does my Dad no good at all.

drivers are currently casting their yay or nay votes for racing on just one short course, and unlike last year, if the salt doesn’t improve significantly in the next week the officials will cancel the race providing lots of lead time.  i’m sure the international teams will appreciate the effort, as it’s an expensive trip to make if you can’t run.

if they do have one short course we will all still go to the salt, but my Dad won’t be driving and we won’t be setting a new record.  very disappointing. again.

all we can do now is pray that a heat wave hits Wendover and things dry out a bit.
