    I reckon I'll be there. Might have to drive the late model for the gas milage as Bonneville and other issues have taken a toll on my finances lately.

    Tim, you make the Y look good on dirt, I'll do my best to do the same in the 130 class on the salt. We will compare notes later.

    Just happened that last Thursday I was 8 miles from El Mirage. I stopped and got some lunch first and drove over to El Mirage and just sat there with the windows down listening to the Desert breeze blowing. I closed my eyes and could just hear the years of racers out there trying to get that last MPH out of there cars. It's a feeling that I wish everyone could enjoy, the smell of the Desert the awsome amount of knowledge to make whatever you brought out to go as fast as it can, everyone needs to experience this at least once in their life.

    I'm next to Pasadena....:
    Let's keep an eye on the SCTA website and keep on top of the weather and any possible trouble with rain.
    It's been weird around here...humid (for us) and two nights ago we even got some lightening.
    The weather reports state that there may be some showers in the EM area on wednesday......so....lets hope it doesn't do what it did in July and cancel.
    Anyone with up-to-date info...please post here....
    I haven't been since May and couldn't go to Bonerville this year so I'm itching to get to EM sunday....
    Keep our fingers crossed.........

    :D:cool::p:(:confused:;):):eek::)

    If anyone needs a place to hang out find the HAMB banner and make yourselves at home "Mi casa es los HAMB'rs casa" People always tell me they came by but no one was there. We were probly staged for our run. Just hang out and we'll be back. I CANT WAIT!!!!
     
  23. Doug, not sure what my tow vehicle will be. Depends on who shows up.

    Mike, I think it is going to be in the low 90's. Hope that's not too hot for you.

    Chick, I may have something for you and your man. I'll see you in tech.
     
  24. Shit, I just figured out Chick is on the HAMB!?!?!?!?!:eek: Think we should let her know how she forced me into your team Tim?:D
