I got up there around 1pm Saturday I hung out around tech seeing how thing happen. The wind was relentless until some time during the night. Got up around 5:30am and it was cold. The first 3-4 cars broke records i think. No wind until around 9 or 10,then it was a strong cross/head wind. stopped the race a few times. I left around 11.45 so i wouldn't have to pay for another day.

The ended up with 12 car, three m/c records. Very low turnout, just 82 entries. The temps were good, winds terrible. Beer stayed cold.

Dan I though the beer staying cold was always the priority?? :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Found out how important course walk is and I do walk it. I picked up a tek screw somewhere and probably wont be able to fix that tire. Fortunately it was just loosing air and did not go flat while on the run.

Or in your case a couple of 360 degrees.
Get off the stove Grandad.  You're too old to be riding the range.

More than a couple -- unless you can count the unwinds -- might have come up zero.

Here are just a few of the shots Bob McMillian sent me.  Apparently we couldn't handle the 22 MPH gusty side winds.
