Glen,

We wish you could be there too. Sounds like it will be thermal conditioning for Bonneville.
It would be nice to have a low starting number, but that's earned, oh well!

Good luck to all.

Tom

I am starting at 59 my lowest number yet. Last month a I was 179 and the meet before that I was 205.

I am excited about the chance of actually getting in two passes.

Remember to bring lots of water and sunscreen. Last night the low was 67 degrees at 5:17 AM. Won't need any sleeping bags or blankets. LOL. Good luck.

3:40 p.m. on Saturday and it's 105 at El Mirage.

I can't complain. I work in Van Nuys in the San Fernando Valley and it's 108, as it has been for the last three days.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Just heard from El Mirage,

Congrats to John Noonan, went 218 on the sidecar and an amazing 240 + mph on the unfaired busa "Yellow submarine" in A/BF 1350 cc which had a class record that was set at last meet at 214 mph.. That is just amazing on an unfaired bike at El Mirage.
