NO DONUTS! NO DRIFTING!
Donuts and drifting on the lakebed might seem harmless...but they leave behind deep ruts that can take years to heal.

Those ruts turn into serious hazards for anyone traveling at high speed. What feels fun in the moment can put someone else at risk later.

Respect the lakebed.
Keep it smooth. Keep it safe.
