Here is a picture I took today of Miriam Macmillian getting her car ready to run. Everything worked very well as she set a new record.

"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.

Obvious question, how was the meet? Other than John Noonan and Miriam that is.
Wanted to run, but tweaked my knee a couple of weeks ago, just getting back to walking normally.

Young Brothers 39 Chevy, runs a GMC 6 for power.
Tom, I did not hear too much on the PA, so the little I did was Noonan had fastest speed of the meet while I was there, Both Hondata's set Records and Miriam's husband got into the dirty two Club. Rick Yaccouri I think set a record in the streamliner with a turbo Flathead by a couple of hundredths. I left by 11:00 AM so I don't know what happened after that. BMR roadster on the run I saw only ran around 125, at least that is what I think they said on the PA. Vintage Hot Rods out of Chico ran slower than last month. I am sure there are other people who can report better than I, as my goal this meet was to take pictures. Sorry to hear about your knee, but glad it is getting better.
PeterJack, glad you like them.

The meet went well and lots of records set, Miriam's other half the current SCTA points shamp Doug got in to the Dirty two's with a 201mph run, Rick ran 239 with the Turbo flathead, our SDRC little Blue Roadster went 161 and got a record Ralph Leclercq reset the P-P 650cc record with a 164+ run, Ralph has worked very hard on the record run since he first set it back in 2005, good job Ralph, I did see his time slip and noted a tail wind present which is usually reserved for Novemeber. Wink Eller set a record as well..I am sure Jacks Blue car set a record as well as many more.. Course was same as last meet or perhaps a little better, we had some cloud cover today which really helped as well. John |

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.
