Very interesting... I have yet to visit the salt flats, but my friend Chris Carr hit 368 mph there a few years ago. I was surprised to learn that the salt can be somewhat quashy. I always thought it was like pavement.
@Jack, the fresh salt is quashy and feels like hitting a patch of soft sand. Otherwise, the salt feels mostly like pavement. I imagine when they do runs they drive a path over the salt to pack it down.
