Correct, we are trying to make the October Elmo event a 2 day event. Believe Insurance and Permits would be lined up at this point,
if it comes together. If you are a member of a Scta club, please let your president and reps know that you are interested. Right now it
is up to the clubs to agree and come up with enough patrols and volunteers to staff this event. So, nothing is final yet.
Regarding the upcoming September event. Not sure, but most of you will remember the rain storms we had coming into the High Desert
about a month ago. There was A LOT of water on the lakebed. Believe it or not, but it all dried up and the courses are looking better
then they have in a long time. Also dried nicely, without most of the chips on top, like we usually get to see, after it dries to quickly.
Bill Lattin will be up there on Friday and help lay out 6 nice race courses, which should last us for the rest of the season.
Now, coming to the rest of the season as Nathan had mentioned earlier in this thread.
Remember we had Elmo cancelled in May, all the rain storms we had coming in lately and who can forget all the storms and bad weather
which has been hitting the BSF within the last 6 month or so.
They call this an El Nino year (sorry my keyboard doesn't have the little gismo to place above the word Nino and I am not quite sure where it would go anyway). But that's what they call it.
Now, with everything you know about this years weather pattern and about our luck with getting to race our race vehicles, are you
really going to take that chance and not come out for this event ? If you guys want to run this year, I would suggest not to waist any
more opportunities and make this September Elmo event.
If we really have 3 more Elmo events this year, including 2 more Two day meets, I would say you better call one of the Scta club Presidents as mentioned earlier in this thread and join a club. (unless you are a member of course)
There is a lot more fun to be had this year, why gamble with what we know we got right now.
Just saying....
Mike
