There was alot of water still on lakebed Sat. Wind has been blowing water toward east end slowly iwill go out and take pictures Tuesday.
-
Thanks Tiny. Hopefully it will dry in time.
-
Sorry guys don't mean to be a pain in the ass but looking for some input from our veterans on looking at the weather do you think we will run the last event.
its a matter of spending a bunch of money now or not having to do it until spring don't want to have to spend it now if i don't have to.
Thank you very much Rich

I'm no Dallas Raines but the forecast is for heat and wind next week which hopeflly will help dry the lake. After that, get ot the crystal ball.

10 day forecast shows rain on/around Nov. 9th.
Of course that is my side of the mountain and it is a prediction, not a certainity.

Thanks Tiny. Please keep us posted. Some of us need a good heads up as to whether we are loading goodies for a two day event or not.
-
I will keep everyone posted on conditions at lakebed every couple days.It could be raining in Victorville & not a drop out here.

Looks like it might dry out, I sure hope so!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Tiny- what's the update on your end?
-
that would be your front yard wouldnt Ed :|
-
Still water on this end nice & warm no wind at all.Little wind & more sunshine would be nice.
-
Tiny, if there's still water on the west end, do you think there's much chance of being able to race next weekend? I'm wondering if I need to get my permit for next weekend or wait till next year. :|
-
Just got down from the lookout and the lake is drier than yesterday but still standing water on west 1/3. Pray for wind. I am gonna drive down later and take a good look. will let all know what i find. ED :-D :-D :-D :-D :mrgreen:

Tiny and folks,
We will need to leave from the Pacific Northwest by next Wednesday to make the weekend meet. Looking at the posts it appears there is still a chance the meet will be canceled. Which way does the course run? East to West? North to South? Can anyone with good info on the meet status post it here byTuesday? Thanks all, hope to see you down there.
-
Dave,
We run at the far West end to the East. The Starting line is about 1/4 - 3/8 of a mile east of the western fence line. Hope that makes sense to you.
Tom G.
-
Thanks, that does make sense. See you there, I hope.
-
I believe DW I going to the lake bed on the 6th and post no later than Wednesday the 10th.
-
SCTA caned the lake bed clean up for this weekend. still too wet
-
why does DW have to go all that way to see if its too wet? I know 3 people that live right there that can tell if the lakebed is too wet to run on. :roll:
-
D III our SCTA president is going to be on the lakebed on Saturday sometime to look at the conditions!!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
-
its going to be wet tomorrow too :evil:
-
8-) But not as wet as today ! ! ! :-D :-D :-D
-
yeah, the water table is a 1/4 inch below the surface, usually soft and easy to rut. I sure hope they can get the meet in. May 2011 is a few months off.
-
There is still water on west end of lakebed & the problem is have no wind all week.D 111 will be here in morning & will make call by wednesday.
-
its windy down here, is it blowin up there?? I WANNA RACE!!
-
Maybe they should hold an SCTA board meeting on the lakebed. That should generate a lot of hot wind. : - )

Too funny...

Just remember:
If you can't race,,,,,,you're not apt to blow it up.
