If available the "short, short" course can also be used for records.

In the last few years a "short short" course was tried -- one mile to
the first light, then one at the two, one at the 2 1/4, and one at
the three. A racer could run the short-short if he wanted a test and
tune run, for instance, or if he knew he'd only go 100 or thereabouts
- and clear the course more quickly for the next vehicle in line.

I had someone ask a question about the short track, and as I have not
been
to the Salt in several years, I was not sure of the answer, what is the
procedure for a small engined bike or car, something that only runs
around
110 top speed? still a 2 mile run to the timed mile. or is there a
shorter
distance for those who do not need a long run up? thanks drive
carefully.
