How many car on avg start in the rookie line?
From my observations, the May meet the last few years seemed to attract the most Rookie Drivers/Riders of any meet, except for maybe the November meet. They don't start taking people from the rookie line until after the first 25 numbered cars have run, then the starter will take them at random and let them make a pass. You can get back in line, but will not be able to make a next pass until all cars have made their first run. I have seen two day meets called the first day just after a couple hours of running due to wind, then the next day run all day long, and vise versa. Just remember you are dealing with Mother Nature, and if you are luck you might get 4 runs, and if she is cranky you might not get any. It is the desert and the weather can change in a heartbeat.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.
In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230
Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.

From the Mayor (George Callaway) this morning:
The wind is doing its JOB, over the weekend, the wind blew out of the west & the "standing" water was moved completely out of sight (to the east). This morning, I have "Lake front property" again. We had gotten little or NO rain out of these last storms. As long as it stays cool, there will be less loss. The water seems to be all down on the west end, sure hope the BLM is/are doing their job & keeping the people off the dry spots on the east end.

Got a note from George Calloway regarding the lake bed. There is still some water in one area. The lake is still closed until this week end.That of course depends on more rain. Geo said it looks good in general but a little more rain will help with the cure. It's getting close to the first meet. George and Tiny will keep us posted. |
