An extra panel of black above the mile markers would really help drivers of low cars like the Costella 'liners or the MacKichan Schulz "liner.

Some of the people that are driving the faster cars had a problem with all the flags and the lack of a black line wich we have all become accustomed to. If you have some thoughts on this, you should be bringing them up at your club meetings. If enough drivers can win a vote at the club meetings then the reps can take it to the reps meeting and maybe come up with a cost effective way of giving back a reference point that is agreeable to the drivers of these cars and bikes, the BLM, and scta/bni.

What about a Red line made up of Red food coloring..cheap, non toxic and safe for the environment..?
Even if we had a light rain on the salt surface we could still see the line..?

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

back in the 1980's era.\
it was suggested to use food coloring
it was also suggested to use liquid charcoal ( black)..
all of which is biodegradable and such.
maybe these things should be investigated once again.
things just are not the same without a black line.

Maybe just dirt or cow patties ground up would show up good on the salt and be cheap and green  |

John, if your cow patties are green, cut back on the alfalfa a little, plain old hay may do the job................... Here is a vote for different colored mile markers...... I felt like I was in a giant pin ball machine the last mile................ Bob

See reply #7. I also like the idea of different color I/4 mile markers [keep the regular mile markers as usual] in addition to a black or blue line. JL222 |

We had a few instances of racers making the wrong turn off the course(I think 2)...my vote, black line down the center, blue line on turn out side, red line on the "don't even try it side" for each course... Wouldn't that be a good idea Fred? Talk is cheep....we should start a donation fund on here and start collecting.... It might take a few years for enough dough but who's in a hurry?

Question? I was always told the problem with having a black line down the center of the track is, that it is like a magnet and everyone stays in the center of the track. Which in turn tears up the track, and that was before we had 500 entries. How do we solve that problem? Tom G. |

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97.
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 261 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.
