After the last experience why would you want to run there?
The 911 deal aside, the surface is junk, completely different than El Mirgae.
The ground is a pea gravel type of rock, limited traction. The wind comes up
around 10:30 or 11:00 AM and does not go down, you are done for the day.
Checking weather pattern history we have found that the lowest wind conditions
are in December. The temps in the high desert at that time of year are rarely
above freezing at night some times with dusting snow. See the El Mirage sign
post picture on landracing.com. When the wind does blow the surface pepples
will injure exposed parts of your body, its like so many pellets fired from a
shot gun. The stuff that gets into the nooks and cranies of your truck and
race car. Water tuns it into mud unlike the El Mirage stuff that will flush
out.

I am bemused by the fact that the Brits, with their steam car, are going to
be/may be allowed to use the lake surface at Edwards AFB. How come the SCTA
and it afiliates are not screaming bloody murder at this? Foreigners can use
it but not Americans? Something stinks there.
