October El Mirage

[Glen]

I just got a call from Tiny, it is called and he said D3 was wading and had on water wings. Tiny said the wind is blowing the water around but no heat. Lets hope for November, it's not that far off.
It's now on the SCTA web site.

Really wanted to race , but I think I just saved around a grand in fuel for the trucks and race car and motel rooms and missed work. :lol:

Jim Dincau forwarded an E-mail from the BLM stating that there was 4 feet of mud on the access road between the Highway and Visitor's Center. The worst they had ever seen.

It will be interesting to see photos.

The scheduled Lakebed cleanup for Saturday was also obviously cancelled. Not enough flat bottomed boats available.

IMO if you guys think this will help in November you might think Nov 2011. If the lake bed dries in a couple of weeks only the surface will be dry and the first car "could" cut ruts that we'll will live with for years.

As many know the lake bed has always been very fragile and needs to be hard for what we do. In the 50's when very few even went 150 there was not the problem of our high HP engines of today.

I hope the SCTA board will make the right decision when come to the use of El Mirage. We have had many years when 4 or 5 meets were all we had.............Good Luck....JD

I'm no expert but I think it has more to do with evaporation than absorbtion?? Its hard packed not alot of room for it to absorb?

It would seem to be easy to take 1 or 2" deep core samples at various places on the lakebed to determine moisture content and make a decision.

We definitely want to protect the lakebed.

Let's hope BLM uses prudence and keeps the great, unwashed, non Landspeed racing public off long enough.

I know it's the property of all, but some of the OTHERS are LIBERALS! (Woops, no politics).

[NathanStewart]

Holy Schmoly, that's a lot of water! 

Any updates?

[johnneilson]

need a new class for ski boarders pulled by non-crashing drones.......

by age group would be fine but by intoxication level would be ever more entertaining.

sorry sick and twisted with sw today, carry on..........
