Another fun meet with great people! It was nice to finally meet Freud, Glen, and Stan Back........all stand up guys.

I want to send a thank you out to all the people who helped me this year. Big thanks are in order especially for Randy Nelson, Kent Riches, Bob Moreland, and John Noonan (and Mrs. Noonan). These guys continually help me go a little faster each meet, thank you. Each meet at El Mirage this year with the exception of October I was able to get a few more mph, so all in all it was a successful year.

Good luck to all of the racers in the off season!

Yeah, that's what I would have guessed.  I'm afraid that old age/CRS is sneaking up (hey, not sneaking - running full tilt) on me.  Thanks for the updates, Troy.

Mike,

I heard over the PA that the new liner spun today, but stayed on its wheels. As I left I saw it at the inspection trailer.

P.S. Freud and Marlo where were you, I was looking for you.
I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Lost cam signal and it shut down on the sidecar..went to the right in case parts were missing, all was good and made a pass 15 minutes later.. :wink:

Congrats to Pat Womack on his Faired Hayabusa for getting the top speed of the meet at 223+ or so?  I don't believe any cars went faster?

We were able to again have the top speed of the year for a run only a tick faster than Pat's with a 223.7 mph run and this has again given Noonan racing the motorcycle top speed trophy every year we have raced at El Mirage.

Big congrats to Pat for running so well, Shane for running 198 (his best at El Mo) and Jill Iverson for the record on her little Indian.

Scott Stites ran a personal best with his 160+ hp Hayabusa with a 185mph+ run

Cathy Butler ran a record pass of 17? on her 599cc Honda CBR  :cheers:

San Diego Roadsters once again won the SCTA lakes points chase.

We missed Kent and Randy..hope to see you at one of the banquets.

Freud, awesome seeing you again and if you are around please call so we can take in a fine meal.. :cheers:


All for now..

Any questions post up..



John

John,

I am confused as usual so when you say you made another pass 15 minutes later, that must have been on another entry correct? I saw you come through staging riding a small bike and the announcer made a comment on you.

Tom,

I made a total of seven passes this weekend on two entries, did you race, I did not see you there.?

4 passes on the open/naked bike over 200 MPH and three passes on the sidecar..a great weekend by all the racers..


John

PS. Congrats to all the racers for running their best and for a safe weekend of racing.
