Here you go, Jim - and everyone. Sorry I didn't get this going sooner -- had some traffic jams on the information superhighway. Have at it, girls and boys.

As of right now, If we get our Fatboy ready to go, we may just go back out for the WFs.
I thought we may have nicked the engine a little on our 11th pass, but so far all looks pretty good, so we'll freshen it up, and give it another try.

I don't think we can stand by and watch Rouse go by himself. Checking to see what engine we have available. I know, let's try something with all eight cylinders this time!

Is it true - or the rumor mill? I just heard from Doug that Richard is pulling into Wendover and was told that WF is cancelled. Hunh? Any word on that?
JoAnn doesn't answer yet at SCTA - not even 9AM there - and so I don't have any confirmation for youse guys. And I'm not gonna rattle Bill Lattin's cage right now -- 'cause if it's cancelled he's got lots to be doing.
Let us know, please.

Yes. The cancellation of WF is true. I just received a call from an official that there is water on the salt from the recent rains.

Land's End Lynda says there's an inch of water on the salt - and a new storm is rolling in.
Ah, that's a similarity to SpeedWeek -- both WF and SW can get rained out. Bummer.

Typical Mother Nature,
SoCal is dryer than a popcorn fart and the Salt Flats are imitating a lake.
Looking forward to 2017!!
