[FADED]

Surprised no one has started any thing on the season opener yet? We'll be there trying to break the speed of smell. Anyone else coming out? Bueller, Bueller?

I've got a few days off and figure I'll mosey on down to Elmo next week.  I'll bring the bike along and try to get it tech inspected, start a log book, etc..  Think there will be any problems with that?

BLM says day passes are available "on site".  Where exactly IS "on site" ?

Doesn't seem to be much chat about conditions, etc..  Is it looking like this will be a good event?

On-site is the Ranger office on the only road in.  You can't miss it -- they won't let you.

Fired up the Busa two nights ago.  I'm packing up the truck and planning to hit the lakebed Friday afternoon.

Looking at the forecast it looks like it's going to have winds from 15-25 mph.  Be ready to get dirty:)

From Jerry Cornelison, Road Runners Secretary . . .


Earlier today, I got a "first person" report from Bill Harris who was part of our Road Runners Course Prep Team for the meet next weekend at El Mirage.  Bill reports that the lakebed is dry, hard and with minimal "potato chips". They only had to repair a few spots on the course.  He says it looks fast!

As of his report at around noon today, the skies were clear.  I checked the current radar (3:30pm, 5/7) and there is only a slight chance of a shower for the next few hours.  After that, there is no rain forecast for the next nine days.  All is looking very good for next weekend!

Got a call from Wayno today, who has taken a sabbatical from his retirement to take a position as "Skunkworks Professor" in So Cal.  He was on the lakebed and his report concurs with Stan's.

And I'm grumbling - I had made plans to fly into Vegas, rent a van and spend next weekend at Elmo, only to have my assistant put in his notice and leave me short handed.

I don't know that a one-day event is worth the trip, so I'm hoping to get a cable monkey hired and trained before November.
