ELMO 6/14/09

Haven't seen any discussion regarding the event this month, so I thought I would check and make sure it is still on for this weekend.

Those running are going to be happy with the temps.  79 is the high for sat. And sun.  Hope the track is better. :-D

Hi John!

You are absolutely correct. There will be weather this weekend. :cheers:

Oh, you mean particulars? Ok, how's 84 both days sound with 5 mph wind in the morning picking up to 10 in the afternoon.

How's that for perfect? Let's go racing.

I'm going to take a laptop with me on Saturday and see if I can't post updates all day long. If I can get a connection you will hear from me. Can't make it on Sunday.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.

When did it become a two-day meet?

Anybody got any news on the track condition? Has there been any change since the alst meet?

I REALLY should wake up while I'm typing. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday.

It might help if I actually LOOKED at the &%$#* calendar.

Thanks for the help, John.

I sure hope the wind lets up. It has been blowing 20 MPH plus for the last week in Palmdale.

By the way, Bob is looking for a El Mirage weather link to put on the front page of this site.  I say "looking" -- because while I like the NOAA weather reports and the system -- especially since they don't have commercial material and load pretty quickly -- they don't, as yet (but they're working on it) have the little thumbnail-sized reports like we've now got for Wendover and Maxton.  But sooner or later there'll be weather for all three of those venues -- and maybe I can put up Loring and Goliad, etc, for the times when they're about to host an event, too.  But first let's get EM all set up and running.

And just how will the pending ElNino and showers in Fresno help the poor souls at Elmo this Sunday?

They wanna know what to expect in the next day and a half!
