Ed, your info is as legit as it gets considering that you're our forward observer.  I think the comment about official info coming from D3 is in regards to whether or not we're going to have a meet, not what condition the lake bed is in.  Stick with it man and keep the info coming.  We all really appreciate it.

Many many many years ago they ran a meet from the east end heading west.  I wasn't there (don't think I was born yet) but I have photos of it.  I guess if you really want to have a meet you make do.

Nathan,

You are not suggesting a penalty for running out the back door........are you??

I already put the mud prop on the Mastercraft for tow/recovery duty.

9:00 PM, meet cancelled.

Posted to scta-bni.org website:

"Onsite lakebed inspection has revealed the lake will unlikely be dry enough for our July meet without damage to the surface. The July meet is cancelled"

Looks like El Mirage is getting some rain from a band of severe thunder storms.

Fortunately, looks like all weather activity is to the east of the Lake. Hope it stays that way!

Good to know! Thanks for the update Ryan, good luck tomorrow.
