The runway was dry, firm and mostly smooth. University of Utah has a camera and weather station set up so you can have a good idea of the condition before you get there. (Search UUNET Camera Image Explorer)

The salt flats usually used for car racing (and airplane landing) is under water. Surrounding salt flats that look dry are very soft and wet and unsuitable for aircraft. Gonna be a while before this area opens back up again.
