June El Mirage Two Day Meet

[jww36]

I justed looked at the SCTA website and for the June event it says Tech June 12th, Racing 13th and 14th. Is this becoming a two day event official?

[FADED]

It was also posted on the SCTA facebook page, It said its a verbal agreement from the BLM but I think they are going to wait till after the SCTA meeting next week to make it official.

Say it ain't so.....

Haha. Of course I would book airfare and rental car for both days before reading this. I hope it's two days. If anyone needs crew help let me know. I'm from TN and have helped crew at the Ohio Mile several times.

It shows that you can get on the lakebed for 24 hours for $15. Does that mean you can camp? Specifically, can you camp inside a Nissan Versa rental car?

There's lots of camping on the lakebed and you won't be the first to sleep in their car. Bring lots of water & sunscreen. Should be a good selection of cars running. Stop by Roadster #374 and say hello.

My crew chief Vinny will be staying in the 916 race trailer with the Vintage Hot Rod stable. Don't offer him any beer, he has enough

Don't kill the messenger please, but it looks like the CA deserts could see some moisture from the remnants of hurricane Blanca this week. Current weather outlook calling for 60% chance of thunderstorms at El Mirage Tuesday evening.

Say a prayer to the weather Gods that it ain't so.

[Elmo Rodge]

I just looked at the National Weather Service site and they're saying 20%. That's an 80% chance it won't.  I'm packing right now and will have the Car on the trailer later today. I'm leaving Wednesday morning.  Wayno

[jww36]

Have a safe trip Wayno.

When racing ends is there a good sports bar near El Mirage? I'd really like to watch some of the 24 hours of LeMans this year.

Also, is the gate to El Mirage shut after a certain time? Example: If I went to watch LeMans and then went back to El Mirage to camp, would that be OK?

I'm getting pretty excited about my first trip to El Mirage! If anyone knows that they are shy a crew member let me know. I have helped prep a car and driver at several Ohio mile events and drag strip test n tunes. Otherwise I'll just be taking in the sights.

This guy and his jokes.  A good sports bar near El Mirage?  LOL.  And no, the gate doesn't get closed.  BTW you won't want to leave the lake bed and then try to come back on in the dark.  You'll never find your way back to your camp.  Plus, when racing ends, the socializing and libations begin.  Why would you want to go watch foofoo LeMans racing in a sports bar when you're already immersed in the coolest form of racing on Earth?

A little known secret is that if the Mariana's bring their two level hauler racing can be watched on the big screen inside the box.
