Jerry I just drove a dually with a 15,000 pound trailer attached and was able to access the lake bed without any problems, a small car will do just fine stay off of any areas you see that are wet coned off or muddy. 

We came in the entrance that is normal however passed up and went further towards Colusa road and then you make a right on Lake Road go to marker number two and make a very hard left then proceed down the road and make a right and go towards the SCTA building or Callaways.

On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 11:27 AM, I emailed NOAA regarding the automated weather reporting station at the east end of the lake bed,

Hi,
     The weather station at El Mirage dry lake ( EMRC1  ) has been
inoperative for more than a month. When can we expect it to be on line
again?
Jim Dincau

Their reply today at 10 AM,

Hello Jim,
I finally reached someone with news on the El Mirage weather station. Funding has run out for maintaining that station and it is officially dead. Sorry about the bad news. We're sad about it too. I have requested that the observation will be removed from the forecast web pages.

Jim...Sounds normal, cheaper to put up a sign that says "broken" then to fix it.  :-)
