This weekend I to El Mirage Dry Lake for the Southern California Timing Association speed trials. It was a blast. This was the last one of the season and next season starts in May with a two day event also. There are of course bikes as well as every other kind of car you can imagine. Some hitting 250mph.

I've been to El Mirage a few times over the years. It's one of the last places you can really see 'shade-tree' mechanical wizardry.

Would you ride this?

On of my Ramona neighbors run there in many classes and holds the records.  I went there more than once. Last time I took a hydraulic fitting from my bike to fix the nitrogen system on the racecar.

OK, I talked to Cal today. May an November are 2 day events, I will plane to go for the MAY 2024 event, all depending on my condition and everyone's Weather. I will drive my Camper with trailer and a bike up and plan to stay the whole weekend. (need my camper for food preparation). If you plane to go, I can take some Stuff, Tents, sleeping bag.ec for you and set up a group camp near the race track/ starting line.

I know its a long time till MAY, but you know me. Good things will take time.

This is the reason for early planning..

But we know that depends on the weather the weekend can be canceled. 

Let's keep an eye and focus on it.

Yeah, I have lots of things going on at times so even with long term planning I can’t commit.  I rarely know for sure where I will be next weekend!
