I was thinking about the camping area called "bend in the road ".  Super muddy mess there.  Bunch of cars, trucks and RV's stuck. 
Some YT videos showing how deep that water was.
Local high-school kids were doing car washes to help out.
Wendover lost revenue from the cancelation.

The bend is where we camp. It can get noisy, dirty, & crazy even without water & mud. Those high school kids do good car cleanings down town too. There is often someone washing undercarriages at Lands End as well. I feel and for everyone that put money & time to travel there and got shut down. We are getting thunder storms here every afternoon once we got enough moisture to set up the cycle.

Kinda wonder.   If they cancel an event,  could you use the pre-entry for World of Speed ?
That's alot of money down the toilet if not.

I think it's a different group. I'm sure they do refunds.

My guess is. if its cancelled they will hold your money for next year. it will cost them too much to return everyone's fee

Here's the camera U of U put out on the saltflats.
 You can do 24hr time-lapse takes.  It's interesting to watch the water blow around during wind gusts.
It was almost getting dried out but another storm  happened.

Even though the camera shows the area around it somewhat dry,  it's a very different story at lands end.

----------//////////‐--------------------------------------------------- Dennis and I did venture out the the salt today. The situation is grim. There is still standing water as far as you can see. We walked out to the starting line and found the water to be 3 inches deep.  At the end of the access road, it is about 6 inches deep.

After discussing the current status and trying to look into the future we have decided to cancel the World of Speed for this year.  Even if the water were to disappear, there would not be enough time to groom and prep the courses. This water has done some strange things to the salt. It seems to lifted up the crust were it was very very thin and moved it around. The tire marks from vehicles are clearly visible as it appears to show only mud below. Dennis and I both feel it will need the coming winter months to heal properly.

It is with heavy hearts that we made this decision, we debated amongst ourselves the positives and negatives and just could not find enough positives to move forward with the event. We wish all competitors the best and appreciate the support you have given us in the past
