It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Does this happen very often, that they get bad salt conditions, or is this a rarity?

It seems to happen about once or twice a decade. The sad thing is they had the courses already set up, graded/prepped, and then the big wet hit. Fortunately the weather warmed up nicely last week, they got two courses open and by last Friday things had dried up well. The runs started Saturday and continue through this week.

I remember when I was little in California we used to drive by salt flat's. Always people out there in their bikes, cars, trucks, hot rods, whatever. I miss the desert.

Ow!! That'll give some "patina" - for sure and certain. I'd hate to have to clean that up afterwards.
I'm always sort of amused - or perhaps bemused by those commercials showing a fancy car or truck flying along a beach through the surf; how to ruin a good car in one easy lesson.
