If anybody has updated conditions after rain this weekend it would be appreciated. I don't know if we got hit or spared.
-
airport showed about 0.08" this morning.
If I am thinking correctly, which this morning is not going so well, there should be a Dirt Duty today.
Keep watch tonight for updates.

I was scheduled for "pot hole duty" today, got a call from Lonnie Martin at 6AM canceling course prep work saying lake bed was wet. Mary took the call so I don't know how much water came down.
-
Ah crap.
-
With less than 1/10th of an inch and a week to go, I ain't worried. :-D Wayno
-
Yeah, Nature told course prep "Stay home and relax, I got this." Let's go racing next weekend!!!

I guess there were no cameras at the October because I don't see any pictures posted! It would be nice to know if we should load the truck in the trailer.

I saw a ton of pictures posted on various forums, why would you not load the truck? Reports state lakebed is open and dry...
I am rolling out from the SEMA show early to make it so get that pickemuptruck out there and run!

Good afternoon,
I'll be a 1st time spectator at El Mirage this weekend (excited!!)
Question: I can only go one day. What day would be the best for a spectator?
Thanks... :cheers:
-
Probly Saturday...............................or Sunday?? :-D
-
Saturday, if that day blows out then Sunday is your window of opportunity.

Clear as mud :?
-
Can you only go one day? No, you can go for however many days you'd like to pay the BLM to let you onto the lake bed. There is no "best" day. Go either or go both but as mentioned, if it gets blown out Saturday then we'll hold off and try to run on Sunday. Additionally, if Saturday is good and Sunday gets blown out and you didn't go on Saturday then you'd have lost out. So, pick a day and go and take your chances. Or plan on going both days and you won't miss a thing.

How is Wednesday afternoon @ around 2:30 looking?
-
Lonely.
-
I'll be there shortly, just wait..............
-
I'm here, where is everyone??
seriously MRSr71, I would recomend Saturday, EARLY, All the fast guys will run 1st hopefully by 8am-ish :cheers: :cheers:
-
National weather service says it's hotter in LA/South Bay right now than it is up at El Mirage. Screwy weather. :roll:
-
should be an awesome weekend, are we there yet? :-D

The mornings are the best time to be there as the wind is at it's calmest (that's a relative statement :-D)
The BEST viewing will be Saturday morning. The top points and the fastest will be the first ones out and they're always worth seeing. Some of them may not run Sunday if they set a record (or break) Saturday, so if you want to catch 'em, Saturday is your day.
If you're limited on time, but dont mind the commute to the lakebed, then ideally you want to be there Saturday and Sunday mornings - crack of dawn till late morning, then depart.
