No numbers but there were plenty of records on Sat. Maybe the 40 mph tailwind helped. Everyone who wanted git 3 runs. Not a giant turnout. 3 or four spins. Nothing exciting.

The track had a nice bump on it that everyone seemed to find.

How well did the patrols and BLM cops do at keeping interlopers off the course?  How about ATV tire tracks -- any to speak of?

Very windy today! A few cars ran this morning, but we have been on hold for about 30 min. No interlopers that I saw, but a few ATV tire tracks.

We were third off the line on Saturday after hoping the course would be the best in years however it was sup par...we are happy for the record we set considering it was my first pass back after crashing a month a go.  No tailwind in the morning for us.. undecided

Hopefully the course will be better next month...... cheers

Congrats to the other racers that either set records or ran their personal best. cheers

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.

I had patrol Sunday morning. Right when we started a couple of land sailers encroached the coned off area on the tower side. I chased them down and politely explained the danger involved and never had a problem with them again. Wayno

so does anyone know how many cars & bikes showed up also how many runs did everyone get and how was the course.

  Early sat they announced 93 entries but there were several cars in inspection line before that, don't know if they were counted, Fast freddy said he got sideways at the start and couldn't give full throttle untill end and by then it was to late for a good time slip. His data log showed were he tried more throttle with increased revs and backing off throttle
a few times. Course was not tight as I thought it might be after being flooded all winter and I wonder if that big dairy
is sucking all the ground water up and not allowing the course to dry up slowly? Who knows, but sometimes the course does get better.
 I took a video of Freds run but still learning how to keep cars in viewfinder all the way down course [ I lose sight from glare as car goes by] as you will see when Bvillercr gets video posted later this week.
 Dave Davidson said he didn't give more than just a bit of throttle in the 911 roadster but set an open record of 246 mph + also the 511 set a 208 + record. Two roadsters, two records one meet cheers
  Got a pretty good video of the 511 from starting line with Donnie Cummins driving but screwed up on taking the 911
''ga dang it angry'' I must have hit the record button twice rolleyes Left for home about 11:00 AM Sat

                  JL222

 Results on SCTA pg say 128 entries

How did the weather and racing turn out on Sunday?

Saturday was pretty breezy but mostly tailwind.

Got up Sunday AM, temp was 47, wind seemed 40+ and a nasty looking front coming up El Cajon so my brother and I packed it in and headed back to Vegas early.
