My wife, father-in-law, Fat Dog, and I boogied down I-15 to El Mirage today
to watch the fun and games. My first time there so it was a new experience.
Nice to hear the familiar voices and watch the same starters run things.
Little simplier, though because apparently no fee to watch. With the
multi-access lake bed, don'e see how you could collect fees anyway. Managed
to watch Jack Costello make his second run, though, it was aborted for a
carb problem. Watched Katie's car go down the track with dad driving. Since
it was my first time there I was interested in the lake bed surface. Hard
and dry of course, but when stirred up, wow, what a dust storm!! The wind
was blowing down track so there should have been some good run times. As we
left, the wind kicked up and it wa like driving in a whiteout! But fun to
watch anyway. We all enjoyed the races and how well they were put on. Thanks
to the "crew" that makes it happen. And there seemed to be a few more cars
than expected? Certainly there were a lot of us looky loo's. Of course, I
always take the wrong way to get there also, next time will experiment with
the best way.
Thanks for putting on the races, guy, pat yourselves on the back.
