We are planning on coming to the November meet (spectating) and have a few questions in regards to when runs start(weather permitting).
What is the schedule for Sat. and Sunday, ie is Saturday all tech, morning tech/afternoon runs or morning tech and runs start in the morning also?
On Sunday, what time do runs hope to start?
Thx.
Inspection on Friday after noon and Saturday morning.
Race Saturday after drivers meeting,usually around 08:30 till 3:00 pm depending on the course conditions
Sunday same starting time till ????
Thank you Sir.
On Saturday morning the Course Stewards meeting is at 7am. Drivers meeting is usually at 7:10am. Racing starts sometime soon after (7:30am ish). On Friday and Sat evening the course walk starts at 4pm (Nov meet only), as it gets dark early.
Racing continues on Sat till the course gets munched up (depending on weather, but trying to get all 1st round through at least), but from what I've seen, it closes earlyish on the Sat so they can moved the course in daylight.
It is light about 6am at the lake. Remember daylight saving started last week. Cold but beautiful weather.
MM
No -- daylight saving time ENDED last week. But we know what you meant, I think.
Can anyone tell me when Rookie orientation will be held this coming weekend at El Mirage?

Glen,
Ahhhh, I'm so glad you'll be at the November meet. Last time I heard from you, you weren't sure. I take it that all is ok with the doc? When will you be coming in? See you next weekend.
Sheri
PS John, I am also glad that you will be there on Thursday :-D See you and your better half when you get there.
Sheri, I will be there mid day Friday I hope. Leaving at day break and have to get thru the Vegas traffic and what ever road work is being done. I still have to get a pass at the gate I guess. I want to talk to you anyway regarding the web page. :cheers:

Glen,
Coming out of Vegas South bound 15 is free of construction (finally!) except for a mile or so in Barstow where Caltrans is doing some bridge work...no big deal....

Buzz
Thanks, that should save an hour
I hear there's gonna be a first-time doctor in the house. Hope he doesn't get his soggy feet all muddy.
Stan
(Or is that a doctor first-timer in the house?)
(A doctor making house calls?)
Bundle up folk, especially if you are running pure water in the cooling systems. It will go below freezing this weekend.
Got the "A" engine back in and running, but haven't road tested or dyno'd it yet. Crossing our fingers that it is AOK. We will baby it the first pass just in case.

From 8 to 5 there's still a small bit of construction going on North bound at Bailey (sp) Road, at the summit, but they always seem to have at least two lanes open, after 5pm it's wide open.. Still some work North bound from Yates Well Road to Primm, but it's minor, no slowing down..
Buzz
beef stew, count me in, if I dont die from this cold first, hope to feell better be then.
Good luck to all the racers on this last 2009 event!! Everyone have a safe journey to ElMo and a safe return. To those of you who will be racing, spectating, or volunteering...Stay safe, Go Fast, Stay Upright!!

John,
Can't send a PM, computer is sick and doesn't do most of the stuff it should. I'm sending it to the hospital Monday. I think RaytheRat will be there, maybe he can send us some updates.
If I start getting obscene phone calls, I'll know I messed up revealing it! :roll:
Good luck with your racing and have a safe trip.
Lynda
What an idiot!! can't even type my number in correctly!!
As usual, the work week has left me packing everything today, aarrrgghh.
Should be at the lakebed tonight. Sooner if I can get my fat butt moving quicker.
Here's hoping for a great last meet, go fast!
Papi,

The course is crappy like the rest of the year, the weather at this time is cold and sprinkling..we have a generator and heaters so we are Ok..if anyone coming has a spark plug to fit an OHV Briggs 5500 watt generator I am sure Willie and Sheri would be grateful (I will pay for it if delivered to the lake bed)
