If anybody has updated conditions after rain this weekend it would be appreciated. I don't know if we got hit or spared.

airport showed about 0.08" this morning.

If I am thinking correctly, which this morning is not going so well, there should be a Dirt Duty today.

Keep watch tonight for updates.

     I was scheduled for "pot hole duty" today, got a call from Lonnie Martin at 6AM canceling course prep work saying lake bed was wet. Mary took the call so I don't know how much water came down.

I guess there were no cameras at the October because I don't see any pictures posted! It would be nice to know if we should load the truck in the trailer.

I saw a ton of pictures posted on various forums, why would you not load the truck?  Reports state lakebed is open and dry...

I am rolling out from the SEMA show early to make it so get that pickemuptruck out there and run!

Good afternoon,

I'll be a 1st time spectator at El Mirage this weekend (excited!!)

Question: I can only go one day. What day would be the best for a spectator?

Thanks... :cheers:
