Might as well start a thread. Anyone want to lay odd on whether or not the September event will happen?
-
I hope it will- I sent in my entry months ago.

"I sent in my entry months ago."
That oughta confuse them when they ask for your check and entry at the window.
Or is that a special requirement of "guests"?

Stan;
From the entry form:
"Print out this form and mail to: ..."

Well if deemed unsafe it won't be for a lack of trying. A lot of us were out there last Saturday and will be again this coming Sat. Making mud and filling the fissures on the lake bed in over 100* heat.

From the SCTA web site. This way since April.
2019 El Mirage Procedures - Coming Soon

God willing (if we don't have rain like yesterday or high winds), we will be racing at El Mirage on 9/15. I just got an email from Stephanie Adler confirming the event is a go...
Plus an official live streaming web site is now up:

Head office person for Sidewinders. Your club should have the equivalent.

Funny, At the SDRC meeting last night is still a no decision yet. It's rained twice..May know on Saturday the 7th. Work party for this weekend has been cancelled.
-
Yea, the rain threw a wrench in it. As far as the ruts go it looks like the decision was made to race. Now that we had hard rains 2 days in a row, it needs to be re-assessed. Good news is, weather channel is saying 0% chance of rain from today through the 15th. Hopefully Bill will hold off his assessment until Sunday or Monday. Weather channel also predicting west wind of 12 MPH. El Mirage horsepower will be in full force.

The BLM is the elephant in the room. If they say no it doesn't matter what Bill thinks.

And if Bill says no, it doesn't matter what the BLM thinks. Your point?
-
Over the past few years it has become obvious that the BLM does not want the racing at both Bonneville and El Mirage. Each year new regulations make it more difficult and expensive to conduct events at these locations.
The point of my previous post is that the BLM have the final say whether we race or not. This is my observation from over 55 years of SCTA participation.

Dan,
I am pretty sure that the policies and permit requirements have evolved from lawsuits such as this;
LOS ANGELES >> A total of $5.8 million will be paid to the families of eight people who were killed and 12 people who were injured during an off-road racing event in the Mojave Desert?s Johnson Valley in August 2010.
The U.S. Department of the Interior and Bureau of Land Management will pay the bulk of the settlement, $4.8 million, and the race organizers and promoters, Mojave Desert Racing, Inc., and Mojave Desert Racing (MDR) Productions, Inc., will pay their insurance policy limits of $1 million.
Bill can make a decision but if BLM doesn't allow access, it doesn't matter.
