Saturday, if that day blows out then Sunday is your window of opportunity.

Can you only go one day?  No, you can go for however many days you'd like to pay the BLM to let you onto the lake bed.  There is no "best" day.  Go either or go both but as mentioned, if it gets blown out Saturday then we'll hold off and try to run on Sunday.  Additionally, if Saturday is good and Sunday gets blown out and you didn't go on Saturday then you'd have lost out.  So, pick a day and go and take your chances.  Or plan on going both days and you won't miss a thing.

National weather service says it's hotter in LA/South Bay right now than it is up at El Mirage.  Screwy weather.  :roll:

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:


The mornings are the best time to be there as the wind is at it's calmest (that's a relative statement  :-D)
The BEST viewing will be Saturday morning. The top points and the fastest will be the first ones out and they're always worth seeing. Some of them may not run Sunday if they set a record (or break) Saturday, so if you want to catch 'em, Saturday is your day.
If you're limited on time, but dont mind the commute to the lakebed, then ideally you want to be there Saturday and Sunday mornings - crack of dawn till late morning, then depart.
