From SCTA
Quote
09/08/10:   This weekend, September 11th, is Phelan Phun Days. The parade will start at 10am and the streets will be blocked off. This will effect people coming up Hwy 138 from the 15 north.  Sheep Creek Road will be blocked at Phelan Road. Hope this helps get the word out.    An alternate route is to go on 138 to Oasis, right on Oasis to Palmdale Rd (Hwy 18) and then right  onto Sheep Creek.  The Palmdale Road access to Sheep Creek Rd will be unaffected.                                      Susan Foley and Miriam Macmillan

Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.

"Palmdale Rd (Hwy 18) and then right  onto Sheep Creek.  The Palmdale Road access to Sheep Creek . . ."

It should read . . .

Palmdale Rd (Hwy 18) and then right ON PALMDALE RD. TO Sheep Creek, AND THEN LEFT ON SHEEP CREEK.  The Palmdale Road access to Sheep Creek . . .

. . . and remember the closure is on SATURDAY morning.  And how long could a Phelan parade last?  Ought to be clear in the afternoon, and for sure by early Sunday morning.

I wonder how many vehicles will be running, with WOS next week? I will be going out in the morning with my Camera and find out. I will try and post some results and pictures when I get home.

We showed up at El Mo yesterday at 3:30 pm and saw that their was a lot of damaged dirt from cars doing donuts however we were also shocked to see BMW out here filming a car commercial and guess what, they were doing donuts and high speed slides all over the lake bed tearing it up. :x

Tiny said they have been out here three days tearing it up!!

Course looks Green and slippery :x

See you all here... :wink:

I'm at El Mirage.  I got here at 3 PM and there is NO line for inspection.  Occasionally someone shows up.  this is going to be a very small meet.  Too bad the track isn't better.  You could get multiple runs in easily!

Things started right on time but no wind and a dusty track is holding it up. 

Rick Yacoucci in the normally aspirated flathead was first off the line.  He did 183.1 or was it 185 mph.  Either way it was a BIG record against the existing 168 according to the announcer.  Looks good wih a new paint job and graphics too.

Salty Dog Racing, Was next.  It sounded great but he missed the record.  did 217 against the 229 mph record.

The tiny #6060, a Costella liner, was having trouble starting.  Then once she got on the course, it went outside the cones at the quarter I was told.  It must be difficult seeing from that low on the track and the dust is hanging.  They have stopped for several minutes and it is still pure dust looking down the track.

John Noonan just did 248.3 mph! announcer said it is a record so he must be in a different class than July when he did 252 mph.

The Hondata set a record and a bit of a breeze is starting.  Life is good at El Mirage.
