Coming to El Mirage in November

[nave]

Hi All

I am coming over from Ireland to El Mirage for the November meeting but never having been there before I need some info. I will be flying into Los Angeles on the Thursday evening and picking up a hire car but I need help on where to stay, getting access to the necessay places etc.

I am especially interested in how I can get involved in order to break the Irish Land Speed Record which was set in EL Mirage back in 1999 at 301.409 mph.
Can I hire a seat, can I buy into a project, do I build from scratch?

All help would be appreciated

how can someone set an irish land speed record in california. there is no way the scta or anyone that owns a car that can go 300mph is going to let a stranger jump in that car and go 300mph. not going to happen. the only thing you will be doing at elmo in nov is watching.

I don't think the Irish LSR federation is too fussy as to where the Irish land speed record is set so long as an Irishman is driving/riding.

If you want to see what the lakebed looks like at 70mph I can sell you some seat time? From one Irishman to another.

I am part Irish...

[FADED]

WHICH PART?? Maybe you hold an Irish record and not know about it??

[Stan Back]

Ya, John.  Which one of your parts holds the records?

Good questions..

I don't know which part is Irish but I do know what parts are big and brave.

I think you have the right tuneup in the car now. Just bring it to El Mirage.
