 Looks like .14'' since nov 4th but reports from the lake bet are best.

 .14 might make the course real tight

 Not looking good for next weekend forecasting wet stuff for late friday-sat and Sun in Clovis area.

 Maybe run sat for awhile before it gets there, but then it might not get there at all.

Mr. Fenn says that as of yesterday it's damp on the east end with a few puddles but dry on the west end where we run.  The lake bed is currently closed.  Weather forecast still calls for a 50% chance of rain on Saturday and Sunday.

NOW ITS SAYING 70% CHANCE FOR SAT!! Does SCTA go off the forcast?

i gotta say that ed fenn clued me in on something veeerrrry interesting.  if you all will remember the september meet, we had a major electrical storm coming right for us.  i figured that we'd for sure get dumped on and ed says, nope, it'll go right around us.  i says huh are you crazy look at those clouds!!  and he says it'll split right over the lake bed and half will go that way (east) and half will go that way (west) and the lake bed will be fine (he lives up on the hill in phelan and sees this happen all the time apparently).  and sure as shit the storm clouds split and went right around the lake bed and we still had our race.

i checked that link for the weather and it's for adelanto.  adelanto is definitely not el mirage dry lake bed and after seeing what i saw in september i know that the weather can be very different across a relatively short distance.  the weather forecast is predicting a 1/4" of rain on saturday in adelanto.  let's hope ed is right again and whatever comes over those mountains splits over the lake bed and goes around us.

I'll be ready to take on all comers in the B/GRMR class!
