On behalf of everyone in the SCTA - could you all pass the word - 
In order to know when a meet is on or off - call the SCTA Office at 
805-526-1805 -
Do not depend upon anyone other than the official source -

Unfortunately, about 25 competitors got bogus information from a source 
who has done this before - and believed the June meet was cancelled.

Instead, Mike Manghelli (SCTA Vice President) met with the Bureau of 
Land Management at 6:30 AM on Friday, June 4th, at El Mirage and 
determined there were two miles of good dry solid lake bed to run on and 
got the ok from the BLM to use the West entrance only for the meet. 
(there was damp lake bed on the East end - so the East entrance was 
blocked by the BLM).

We also had an incredible tail wind - and 23 new records were set.
Les Leggit's entry #500 actually went 297 mph. 

Anyway - check out the results!

Thanks everybody - we're working on the photos this afternoon and should 
have 22 pictures up shortly.
