Rain at elmo??

FADED · May 11, 2013, 07:03:03 AM

We had a bit of rain last week down the hill. 1 week from today we will be "hopefully" running? Any word on the lakebed conditions??

Just read on FB that the lake bed was nice, dry, and ready for some record runs next weekend.
See y'all out there!

National Weather Service is predicting 13 gusting to 21 at dawn on Saturday. Wind across the course.

Dropping to 6 around 10 am, picking back up between 4-5.

Below 10 for Sunday.

Were those the exact words you used when you spun the roadster after deciding to go ahead an run when asked if you wanted to even though it was a bit windy?

What time does tech open Sat morning? I'm not gonna make it out till late fri. We spent the off season building a new motor and this is what happened this past Saturday while testing.

NathanStewart · May 15, 2013, 01:14:46 PM

Tech will definitely be open early. Probably as soon as the drivers meeting is over.

Now I guess you know that tune isn't going to work, I'd guess you need to go richer... YMMV

Sorry, sometimes I can't help myself

They are shooting for between 11:30 & 12:00

The tech guys have to haul in a ton of stuff and get it all set up, then they can think about teching your vehicle.

If you can get there early and help them set up, then they might start earlier.

Not really sure what Im talking about but.........We were trying a new electronic ignition with auto advance (or something like that??) and as the rpm's grew it advanced the timing a bit to far? We will be runninng the old Magneto this weekend then back to the drawing board for June.
