June 9th race

[azgearhed]

Did not make it to the 205 min.- 196 and change),  only got one run before the wind came. Seen some bad dust storms in Arizona over the last 50 years and the one at Elmo on Sunday was right up there wth them. Hard to drive off the lake without a compass, lots of easy up carnage. We will change over to the blown motor and get ready for Speedweek.  Tim

Like how the Points battle is shaping up this season..... Official points not up, but using my fingers, toes and other extremities, it looks like 10 very stout entries, with Jucewic, the always tough BMR guys, McLeish, those Hondata guys again, and that White Lightning Flathead toward the top of the heap.

The new points structure eliminates both Cohn Jucewic and BMR Ferguson.

The weather was great.
Temperatures were in the low 90s with very little wind,
until about 11am when a wind from the South East pushed
the porta potties across the course thus closing the meet.

Porta potty obstacle course racing! Why stop just because the wind blows?

Here's the Impound Insights article, all sanctioned and approved and rubber stamped and allowed for pubic viewing:

IMPOUND INSIGHTS - June 2013
Dan Warner

The June event opened on inspection day with very high temps. Reported as high as 111 deg. it made the inspection lines pretty slow moving. During course walk the wind began to blow but, died off in time for dinner later in the evening. Overnight it was as good as it ever gets, just beautiful. A low turnout, I have heard numbers ranging from 55 to 90 total entries. Very strong winds came up on Sunday, 35-40 MPH which caused the officials to cancel the meet before second round was done.

There were no new members in the El Mirage 200 MPH Club, some with potential though.

Eleven new car records were set beginning with last year's champion Derek McLeish in the McLeish Bracket Racing entry at a 159 record speed over last month's 149 in the same H/FMS class. Now you can see where the bracket racing handle came from. Bill Lattin took a lap in the Lattin Stevens XF/VGCC Austin coupe. The Jimmy Stevens flathead took Bill on a 159+ MPH ride. Pete Prentice again at the wheel of the Warnock Racing Honda in the J/GAlt class. New record at 111 MPH. Jim Sheridan got the driver nod in the Aardema Braun V4/FRMR. Jim ran a real nice 167 record. Regular driver Scott Goetz was off introducing his girl friend to his parents I was told. Ferguson Racing with Don Ferguson III driving was able to take a record they have been chasing for 12 years. D3 had the family XXF/BFMR roadster at 210.255, a whopping  0.013 MPH over the old record. Sometimes it is not as easy as it looks. Bob Jucewic drove the Cohn Jucewic Monza to a new class record in E/GCC at 197+. Robbie asked me what they have to do to satisfy me, how many records do they need to set? Neil McAlister and dad Mac had the BMR Ferguson Racing coupe in the XXF/VFAlt class and added 13.7 MPH to the record. David Isley had the Isley Racing A/GRMR out again and reset his record from last month. In May David joined the EM 200 MPH Club at 214.609, this month the bar was raised to 214.620. Not much, but enough. Bill Kennedy had the beautiful red Corvette running well in round one. Bill moved the C/GT record up to 196.6 MPH. If round two had happened we may have seen a new Dirty Two Club member. The collaboration between Hasport and Hondata resulted in a new G/BGMS record for Brian Gillespie at 179 and change. Tom Sauter is playing the points sleeper roll this year  by adding just enough to the E/DT record each meet to stay close to the top. June saw an increase of 5 over last month's record, the new mark is 134.8+.

Motorcycle Impound reported just two records from round one. Tim Cunha rode the Costella.
/Cunha  silver bullet  to a new 650-SCS-G record of 147 over the 144 minimum. This record probably helped remove the pain of inspection that Tim and Jack suffered with on Saturday. Ralph Hudson continues to amaze everyone with his aero bikes. This month Ralph exceed the May record in 1000-APS-BG class by 8 MPH, setting the record to 237.7 MPH.

The July meet is fast approaching, July 14th being the date. We can be sure of high temperatures, hopefully the wind will take a break and lay down for the weekend. Everyone have a safe and fast event, Joanie and I will think of you while in France for our 30th wedding anniversary. There may be wine involved!

Same class so they are still in the points chase. Different driver, I don't think that is one of the criteria that drops one from the chase.

Ok, got it. Dodge we are running against a nasty one on the salt as well. Anyone know what Al Sanderson was running for a truck/engine when he set the EM D/PP record in 01?
