ELMO HISTORY?

[FADED]

Hi, I've got a good idea when it was first ran and when the SCTA was organized but I heard there were some long breaks in the racing on the lakebed over the years. When and why?

[Glen]

The only breaks were during WW II. There have been slow years but no shut downs.

[SPARKY]

were the slow years be cause the mud was so deep

[FADED]

I could be wrong but I heard in the late 60's-70's they werent running at all?? Looking for historians so I can fill some more brain cells with ElMo knowledge!

[Glen]

Faded, I think you are wrong, I have results and other club stuff from the lakes and Bonneville. Contact Jim Miller or Jack Underwood as they probably have 99% of the lakes results for every year.

[FADED]

I'm probly wrong thats why I came here to ask the experts?

I heard it was the year's fifth meet before you realized you had last year's calendar.

I heard it was the year's fifth meet before you realized you had last year's calendar.

And last years calendar had just come out ( from the same printers that do the rulebook).

[dw230]

Yeah, but you got it in time for next year.

He is way too good a guy to have 666 on his post count.

I remember meets in the late 70's with 50-60 entries. A lot of us ran our pickups and family sedans. I 1984 I fought it out with my son; his 76 Chevelle against in moms 73 Monte Carlo. He ran 109 and I ran 110. Both 4 barrel 350's.

As I remember it Bob Higbee's VW square back followed Warren Bullis's van down the course to complete the day....and Warren didn't empty the van either.
