Thanks Rich. I hope it dries out, I would really like to do a full run on the bike before taking it to the salt.

As I read George's email, Roy will look "Late Thursday" Since it is now early Thursday we will have to wait for a while I guess.

Roy Creel will inspect the lake bed early tomorrow (FRI.) and make the decision at that time. All we can do is wait and hope it's dry enough to set up and run on Sunday.

Thanks everbody for there input and info. To make this race I have to leave about 3 am on fri. . Keep it coming. I will need to make a decision today if we will make it or not. At todays gas prices I don`t want to risk wasting $1600.oo on fuel.(Hauler and push truck).Thanks again, John & Dave#811

Here's the latest from The Mayor.
The weather report (read "guess") I heard on my way to work
this morning claimed "chance of thunder showers in the
mountains & desert this afternoon".....we shall see.
Stay tuned!

 You will love that satellite. We had to install one to because of no service. I wondered why we weren't hearing from you now i know.

          Good luck JL222

I've got more recent reports from George, but substantively they're the same.  Too much water right now.  Maybe (since I want a pre-Bonneville test too) we can do a one week postponement with a records count, but points don't sort of format for a meet on the 27th?

I have been thrashing all week! But, you right the thrashing can end if it is rained out.

So do they just cancel the meet all together and then race in September with all points being the same or do they reschedule??
