a dry lake bed, lots and lots of dirt, the headings layed out
years ago are fading, thats why I suggested the 2002 image , the
markings are fresh & much clearer.

Thank you.
Duh! to me. Where area is quite flat, the white dirt border /edges
would be quite diffused / fuzy. Near higher ground & improvements
it would be (and is) clearly defined lines. Thanks again.

Very flat and dusty
examples of how flat and miles of dirt..

Is that similar to Bonneville salt flats?


Not really,, but just as flat,, Bonneville is hard salt,
really hard salt.. had to use a chain saw to cut a
wire trough across the track to the timing printer tent.
never had dust at Bonneville. lots of rain, but no dust
( worked out there several tmes during world of speed)


the dry lake at Edwards AFB is hard dirt. & lots of dust
when disturbed.
