To whom it make concern,
I Hope to be at El Mirage for the 1st Race of the Season"May 5th-6th'' with my new club SDRC.
I don't have my Race V-rod Finished,but still have my DUTIES to perform on Sunday.
I would love to be able to LEASE/BORROW a Bike to get my Rookie License Run in?
Anyone have a spare Motorcycle I Could use?
Is it "Rookie Orientation" Friday at 4:00pm or Saturday at 6:00am :??
I have heard both and could use the advice! :-(
It's gonna be A Hot Trip,but what ever it takes TO BE ABLE TO RACE?
Any El Mirage Rookie advice would be Much Appreciated :oops:.
Thanks,
Kaz..............

Kaz,
Use your Bonneville experience and don't run off the end into a mirage lake. Go where you are told. See previous post for a sample of Kaz's racing stories.

One of the EX officials that has seen more racers go by at speed than most and has been doing it for years did a BOO BOO.
He took a drive in a racer recently and drove it off the end of the prepared salt at speed and stuck it the Mormon Trail.
He thought he was above the licencing process and found the truth was when he was some distance below the surface when he stopped.
Call orientation what you want, but it sure makes a difference. :wink:

After you stop seeing mile markers it's time to shut down. Count 3 then pop the chute. El Mirage is easier, you only have 1 to count (plus the "back door").
-
I was told Rookie orientation is at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
El Mirage is easier, you only have 1 to count (plus the "back door").
It's not "plus" it's "minus". Everybody is expected to be stopped before going out the "back door". If you haven't been there, the lake bed is 5 miles long, but we only use one end of it. Past the last line of cones is the "back door" and there is a patrol there to keep the traffic out, but you can't count on it. If you go out the back door you may get traffic. Heck, we get the odd idiot that drives their bike through the cones, past the warning signs, across the RACE course.

Kaz,
In addition to doing the Rookie orientation you mentioned that you are doing the Rookie Patrol Duty. Patrol Meetings are at 7:00 A.M. at the Timing Tower. That's not mandatory for Rookies since you will be pulling duty with an experienced Club member, but still a good idea to see what happens with patrols.
As Sgt.@Arms for SDRC my duty to contact you regarding your duty has just been performed. WELCOME to SDRC and El Mirage, hope you hook-up with a Bike ride!
The SDRC Pits are at the starting line area between the staging lanes and Inspection and in the second group off the front row.

Running out the back door should constitute: no speed, no tag, and no running for a specified time. Without better control this privilege could disappear. The chief timer will be waiting down at the end to watch what's happening. It is my belief that it should be mandatory to not go out the back. If you do; consequences should happen....No Grace Period...Same for habitual drivers whose parachutes have a hard time opening.
We all have opinions. Good luck........................

Sum,
I Just read it Thanks :oops:!
I Still can't find the address in the Directions,but I'm a little SLOW when it comes to Following Directions :?.
Please be Patient with me I'M NEW :mrgreen:!
Thanks again,
Kaz.........
-
Kaz,
I believe directions are on the SCTA/BNI website.
Most of the folks spend the night in the pits (RV, tent, back of truck or cot on the lakebed). There are a few Motels in Adelanto (HWY 395) but not much else. It's about 15 minutes from the lakebed. There is a lot to choose from in Victorville (I-15) which is about 30 minutes away.
There is a Caterer that will be there Saturday A.M. thru Sunday (hopefully) and they have pretty good food. SDRC has a gas grill, just bring something to BBQ.

Kaz,
Some more information:
The Patrol meetings are at 7:00 AM at the Timing tower on the South side of the course at the finish line. The Rookie drivers meeting @ 4:00 PM is at the Inspection trailer.

Note the change on the patrol meeting location. Last year it was at the starting line, this year it's at the finish line. There is bound to be a bunch of late, lost patrols.

That "GITUP" might get you arrested outside of SFO or Vegas.
It is best you wear your Purple Silk robe over it and not the Pink one.
I will be standing on the corner and point you in the right direction.

836...If you can get from Adelanto to the lake bed in 15 minutes and from Victorville in 30 minutes your race car has a much larger fuel tank than mine. Better springs too for the road.....J.D.
-
The timing is right, what end of the lake bed seems to be misunderstood.
It takes 15 to just go from 1 end to the other unless you are going too fast and get yelled at. :wink:

but my Pink Robe is SCTA Approved :evil:!
What corner in West Hollywood are you at? :?
I don't get out of Vegas much.
I Still don't see El Mirage Direction on My Map :cry:.
Whats the address again? :oops:
I can't Wait!!!!!! 8-)
-
If you think it's hard to find the lake bed you should try it at night. Then it becomes a real adventure. :-D :-o
-
The Pink Robe is only authorized for use in Utah, the land of multiple wives if you have them.
Remember you only have the robe. :wink:
-
Any one wanting more then one wife is on the waiting list for a nut house. And if Kaz wants to wear a green monkey suit on the lake bed he should remember some of the locals think it's open season year around and will shoot for sport. :?

TAKE US-15 ALL THE WAY TO VICTORVILLE, CALIF. TURN RIGHT TO ADELANTO, CROSS 395 AND ABOUT 10 MILES FURTHER YOU WILL SEE EL MIRAGE DRY LAKE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. USE YOUR MAP BOOK
Does this sound right everyone :??
I have Multiple EX-WIVES Not at the Same Time Jeez!!!!!!! :wink:
Hope to see ya all soon,and I bet you won't Miss Me :oops:.
Thanks for the Help Everybody 8-)!

Stop anyplace in the High desert and the locals will be sure to send you on your way. :wink:

You can see the map and the instructions on the SCTA site. On the map you can see the roads that are named in the instructions.
Just get out there a ways and wait for someone hauling a race car and follow it. If you see a purple pickup with flames and a teardrop trailer behind it going back and forth up and down one of those roads don't follow it. That would be me as lost as you :evil:,

The times mentioned were to the lakebed turn off @ the SCTA sign. The paved road even with speed bumps is a great improvement.

Oh Brother,
I Can Tell this is Gonna Be FUN :-o!
what's the Ruling on Wind?
Tail Winds are Legal but head winds aren't?
How much Side wind speed allowed? :?
I Doubt I'll be running into any Lakes Out there,but You Never know with me behind
the wheel :evil: :wink:.........
-
Yeah, and if you are coming from the Victorville side, the section of El Mirage road when you first turn on to it might be the worst road in the USA. It's where the amateur road patching crew works.
-
I thought that the road was where they trained the Minnesota Highway Department for spring patch work. That road is smoother than some stretches of the interstate in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

Hey Kaz, I certainly hope you find your way to El Mirage this weekend..........but remember one BIG thing..........if your leathers are "Rossi leathers"
they are no legal for racing with SCTA........in fact if Rossi himself showed up this weekend to race his Yam. neither his bike....his helmet, or his leathers would be legal.
-
I think they keep the road that way so that when you are heading East you have to slow down before you get to the 90 degree turn to the South.
A smooth road and a BIG sign would work just as well and wouldn't loosen all of the various types of sheet metal screws in your truck.
-
Is he some kind of "POSER" ?
What could Rossi know and where does he think he is coming from ? :roll:

bak189,
Didn't you hear the Story about Pablo the Boot repair guy in Wendover fixing my Leather's while I was getting My Rig Pulled out of the Mud? :?
I got the Kevlar crotch and underarms covered in CUSTOM BLACK LEATHER :roll:!They have passed tech in every SCTA Race I've been in for the Last couple of years :?!

So any other wonderful news you would like to Share with me and the Forum? :roll:I Thank you for your insight,but I hopes it's all for not. :wink:

Those are guys and girls that ride passenger in sidecars........................back in the 1970's my wife Linda rode passenger in our roadracing outfit for many years.....it is not a easy job........and they are called co-riders or passengers NOT "monkeys".
She would "kick ass" if anyone called her a "monkey"............at 63 years old now.....she will still
"kick ass" to the term "monkey"

I won't go into specifics,but it was Too Rich for My Blood and I'll leave it at that :wink:
So I will not be racing this weekend,but will drive out in the Morning to do my PM Duties shift. :cry:

Hope the weather is Nice enough so everyone else can race :oops:?
