The traction on the salt does vary quite a bit, due to the variance of the moisture content and other factors. The salt can be very good, you can see black stripes at the start line left behind from the takeoff of some vehicles. Ok, the ability of the salt to scrape some rubber off the tyres does not necessarily indicate that the traction is equal to tarmac, but I have heard long time salt flat racers say the salt surface can be almost as good as pavement.
