The November El Mirage meet went on as scheduled. It was cold Friday and Saturday and we had overnight rain on Friday night / early morning hours of Saturday. The rain settled the dust and tightened up the track a bit. Sunday was mostly sunny and a bit warmer. We had a great time and lots of really good food at our Road Runners End of Season Pot-Luck and BBQ on Saturday evening. We saw some good runs on both days. The highlight was a 254.840 pass by the Cummins, Beck, Davidson & Thornsberry #911 A/BFR. The Harris & Wester GMC Camaro, with Richard Ross driving, raced away with a new XXO/BGALT record. Full Road Runners results are now posted on our website. As someone said on Sunday, "Not bad for a 'rained out' weekend!" (posted 11/15/11)

November El Mirage Info - The Course Prep day scheduled for El Mirage tomorrow morning (Sat, Nov 5 @ 9am) has been cancelled. The BLM has closed the lakebed for tomorrow.

Speedweek 2011 Update - Just got a call from Dale Wester. Harris and Wester backed up their 184 qualifier from yesterday with a 181 pass this morning. New record is 182.853, upping the old record of 169.212 set last year by Salt Cat Racing. Mission accomplished but they are still chasing tuning gremlins with the new blower set up. No doubt they will get that sorted out sooner rather than later. Really looking forward to seeing them run 200 at El Mirage! Congratulations guys!

Buddy Walker had to make a hurried flight home because his daughter-in-law was about to deliver a baby. Happy to tell you that Buddy has a brand new grandson. Mother, baby and Grandpa all doing fine. Buddy had a good week - maiden run of his new Coupe at Bonneville and a new grandson. Congratulations Buddy!

All Road Runners competing at Speedweek are finished running. I will post some "numbers" on our Results page as soon as they are available. (posted Aug 18, 2011)

Speedweek Update - The following message is from a post on Facebook by Bill Anderson:

Bill Anderson ("Screwball" Sidecar Motorcycle) - Finally able to get on line. Its been a very busy week so far. I got the fuel pressure and supply issues sorted (sorta) and got it to run reliably but slow. The best quarter speed was 121. Got two records. 500 SC/PBG at 111.494 and the 500 SC/PBF at 112.717. Not great but I have no pride and will take what I can get. I spoke briefly to Bill Harris (Harris & Wester Camaro/GMC) on Sunday. Had run to 225 but "some lights came on and we shut it down". I saw him in impound this morning but he didn't come back to impound. So I'll assume the lights came on again. Spoke briefly to Buddy (Walker) and saw the Flat Cad (Flat Cad Racing '38 Chevy Coupe) in line but no further news. (posted Aug 16, 2011)

Road Runner Meeting Notes - Tuesday, April 12th, 6:30pm at Pole Position Kart Raceway, Corona, CA - Guests: John Carroll - Prospective Member (third meeting), Buddy Walker - Prospective Out of Area Member (mandatory meeting), Jake Krotje - Prospective Member (third meeting), Bill Claybaugh - Claybaugh Race Team, Dave Pizzo - Guest, Bridget Wester - Guest (Dale Wester’s wife), Diane Harris - Guest (Bill Harris’ wife), Gwen Saxlund - Guest (Mark Saxlund’s wife)

John Carroll presented his application for membership. Voted in by members. John was a member of the Rod Riders years ago. He now lives in Riverside and wants to get involved in LSR again. He is not sure what he will build yet but it "will be Ford powered". Buddy Walker presented his application for out of area membership. Voted in by members. Buddy is building a '38 Chevy Coupe XXO/BVGC with a vintage, flathead Caddy. This year, he plans to run Speedweek and then El Mirage after that. Welcome to both new Road Runners.

Reminder that El Mirage Lake Clean-up will be on May 7^th. We need as many people as able to participate. Details on SCTA website.

Copies of the 2011 El Mirage Procedures were handed out to all members present. They are also available on the “Duties” page on the Road Runner website and on the SCTA website.

The first Annual Road Runners Karting Challenge was conducted. 16 members raced in two preliminary Heat Races with the top 5 in each heat transferring to the Main Event. (C = Coupe Guy, R = Roadster Guy, B = Motorcycle Guy)

Top five from each Heat transferred to the Main. The Main was a F1 style, grid start. (First turn was mayhem! This event got very “racey”!!!)

Main Results:
1. Buddy “38 Flattie” Walker (C)
2. Willie “Guardrail Willie” Martin (R)
3. Mike Ferguson (R)
4. Charles “Xstream” Shimko (B)
5. Terry “Tucalota” Geer (C)
6. Steve Gibson (C)
7. Jerry Cornelison (C)
8. Jake “Flyin’ Dutchman” Krotje (R) - Relief Driver for Bill “Screwball” Anderson
9. Gary “Vanwall” McGavin (R)
10. Dale Wester (C)

Fastest lap was laid down by Jake “Flyin’ Dutchman” Krotji at 25.40sec. Charles “Xtream” Shimko laid down a 25.48 pass for second best Road Runner time. Very impressive Jake and Charles! Track record for the week was 24.27sec. Jake and Charles were #8 and #11 of the Top 12 for the week of all drivers at Pole Position. Way to “Represent” boys!!

OK – So who won Braggin’ Rights for the Great Road Runners Karting Challenge?? Coupe Guy finished first but a Roadster Guy was right on his tail. A Roadster Guy and Bike Guy laid down the fastest laps. Coupe Guys, Roadster Guys and Bike Guys will all likely brag about our own and our group’s exploits. In the end, “Fun Won” so we can all brag. There was a unanimous “voice vote” to make this an Annual Road Runners event so we have a year to brag and “smack talk”. Next year’s event should be really interesting!

Next Road Runners meeting is May 10, 2011, 7PM at Ed Martin Garage, Riverside. (posted Apr 13, 2011)

Road Runner Meeting Notes - Tuesday, March 8th, 7pm at Ed Martin Garage - At our Tuesday meeting, guests Delia Riley (prospective member - third meeting), John Carroll (prospective member - 2nd meeting), and Bill Claybaugh, member of the Claybaugh Racing Team joined us.

The April regular membeship meeting will be moved from our normal venue, the Ed Martin Garage, to Pole Position Raceway in Corona. We will be meeting at 6:30 to hold the (first annual ??) Coupe VS Roadster Kart Race Challenge. Our Motorcycle guys say they can't identify with either so this may become the Coupe VS Roadster VS Motorcycle Kart Race Challenge! So far, 20 members have signed up to race. This should be a fun event. Pole Position Raceway is located at 1594 E. Bentley Dr, Corona, CA. Click here for directions.

Willie Martin says that the Road Runners have been invited to display our race vehicles at the 5th annual Over the Hill Gang Car Show to be held in San Bernardino on June 4th.

If you are coming in from out of town and are looking for a campground, the Rancho Jurupa Park (County) Campground is adjacent to the Flabob Airport and is a nice camping site in a wooded area next to the Santa Ana River.

We will be looking into the possibility of holding one of our monthly meetings at Pole Position (Kart) Raceway in Corona. After a short meeting we plan to conduct the First Annual (??) Coupe Guys vs. Roadster Guys Road Race Challenge. (The Bike Guys will have to decide which camp the will join.) Could be great fun or total mayhem.... which ever!? Should be lots of fun with a years worth of "braggin' rights" for the winners! More details will follow.
