I'll start it off...
Scott called me this morning and said his first pass was 183.442mph :cheers:
-
Winds up to 18 mph from the SW per weather channel.
-
Update at 12:30, winds now 11 mph gusting to 22 mph.
-
Scott's second run was 182.966mph with a lot of wheelspin and he declined to make another run due to increasing winds. He is on his way home now.
-
At 3:30 wind at 28 mph
-
They got in 3 rounds today, Mike Cook top speed I think @ 214 mph, Rice & Vigent set a record at 195 in the H/lakester. Thats all I have heard so far.
-
Went up yesterday to do Starting line Set-up. At noon there were only about a dozen cars in Tech. Leaving at about 2:30 it was about the same. I figured if the winds held up that people could make multiple runs. Wish I had the Roadster there!
Leaving the Lakebed was really dicey. A lot of dust was blowing. Kept looking for oncoming headlights!
From Phelan you could not see the Lakebed. Glad they got in multiple runs.

Congratulations Scott!! Great Job. What did Noonan do??
Fred
It must of been that fender..........Noonan ran the side car and I believe as I was pulling out he was headed to impound, not sure of the speed.

I think this internet thing might work out. Really fast results. Kudos to those responsible.

Scott, ya did good, nice rides. :-D
:cheers:
-
looks like Cook got top time of the meet, cool but it was in a C/FR ?? that whats was on the SCTA site, thats funny, everyone knows how fast that record is :cry: if you dont know its 249
-
He was running his MOD Sports car
-
yes he was , it was a very nice looking pass, neat car too , The Famous Alfa does it again
-
The site also says there were 93 entries -- 51 cars and 41 bikes = 92.
The 93rd musta been a bike-engined car or sompthin.

I'm surprised Kaz didn't show up at El Mirage, he sounded so serious!
Congrats Scott, are you cured of the pushrod affliction now? :-D

Thanks and no......I love push rod motors! I just do not have the time to work on the HD while going to school full time, plus the Busa is faster! I hope I still have the HD when I graduate because I would really like to see it set a record or two.

Don't underestimate Kaz...he is serious...
-
Kaz's problem was he didn't know which end was the front every time he started it down it came back. Maybe it needed a tag that said this end down.Or he could have moved to the esculator next to it and tried it. Just a thought.

I ran my first Rookie passes there this weekend.
First and foremost, I want to thank John Noonan for all his help on the phone, emails and PM's getting me to El Mirage and my first SCTA event.
Thank you John, you helped me get over the edge I needed with the bazillion questions. Your a great mentor and a great racer.
For those of you interested, I have chronicled my experience Here: http://www.southbayriders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83989 (http://www.southbayriders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83989)
Next, a sincere thank you to SDRC. Every member I met was very helpful, concerned to make absolutely sure I ran Safe and enjoyed my time out on the lake bed.
Last but not least, I want to thank the members of this forum who helped out with advice as well, and the folks of SCTA who helped this Rookie make safe and fast passes.
Since it was my first time out, I had to do E to C Categories. My speeds were:
129.561MPH in Round 1, 147.611MPH in Round 2, 157.351MPH in Round 3.
I believe I was the second to last to run before the shut down the course.
I am looking forward to Bonneville to run as a Rookie there Oct 7-10, and return to El Mirage Oct. 25 to go after my Category B License.

good job Papi...now go wash off that nasty dirt..... if i do my math right 7 of the 21 records set were SDRC members or somethin like 30%.... is that right?... any beer grinder or snake racer wanna correct my math?...... SDRC RULES!!!!!

Very nice write up on SBR and you picked the right guy in the SDRC to help you out with racing a bike. He has helped me out quite a bit, along with the rest of the SDRC. Congrats on a safe and successful trip.

Willie,
Congrats on your largest cut and past ever... :wink:
Did you figure out what was wrong with your bike?
Looks like we had a clogged injector on the open bike and too much power and not enough traction for the wheel on a stick machine.

i havent ---i ran a compression check 150 lbs in both cylinders ---it has to be a leak in the manifold or the carb---this year just hasnt been a very good year for sheri or myself---i did manage to stay in the top 25 see you next month willie buchta

I thought it was a bad kill switch>
The course was crap after all we only had two vehicles over 200mph and not by much.

Willie -- thanks for posting the rules of the Forum. I guess I should consider myself lucky that, by and large, things go as smoothly as they do.
By the way -- this topic isn't about behavior on the Forum and I'll move it over to the appropriate thread if I have to -- but for now, since you mention it, Willie --
You folks do pretty well on keeping things light and not too insulting or rude. Many of the comments aimed at (for instance) Kaz DO run against the preferred spirit of the Forum, but I don't chase down the folks that make the comments -- because I don't think it's what is needed to be the Boss. I try and let you do the policing all by yourselves. But there have been many times when the comments that were made -- most likely made as teasing or a joke or light-hearted -- the comments accumulated and turned into nasty-sounding rants, and pretty soon we have managed to chase another person from the Forum. We want this (at least I hope we do) to be a place to interchange and share and have a fine time. We've lost Jack Dolan, and apparently now Kaz, and others -- from what started out to be teasing someone that was expressing himself in his own personal way. Maybe that way isn't what you (yourself) would choose -- but by repetitive teasing and hassling -- we've made folks elect to not share their stuff with us.
But I don't usually hassle any of the Forum members, because it runs pretty well without me trying to micromanage. I sure intend to continue to do so, and would appreciate it if you all do the same. If it seems that someone is being ganged up upon -- maybe ask the hasslers to lighten up on the hassle-ee. Or maybe not -- but remember that you may be the next one in the gunsights of public teasing.
You're doing pretty well, folks, and I appreciate the support you give the Forum and the site -- not only the donations, but the conversation and input from you all. Thanks.
Okay, back to EM September 2009. Over and out.

geesh.... cant we just have a little fun? :-o :roll:

Yeahm, Kent, you're all welcome to have some fun. I'm just pointing out that some folks aren't good at judging when a little fun turns into a big-azz pain. But by and large -- it's still all good.
