When the SCTA-BNI made the difficult decision to cancel Bonneville Speedweek for the second year in a row due to flooding, they were already looking for a way to make it up to the racers who had been anticipating running on the salt.<\/p>\n
They first considered El Mirage, but the lake bed is also flooded, and so the Mojave Mile fell into consideration. \u00a0Reaching out to the Land Speed Racing community, they received a positive response to the idea of running a weekend event August 8-9 in Mojave, CA on the airstrip. 130 participants were needed to confirm the location and the slots quickly filled up.<\/p>\n
While the airstrip is a different surface and experience than the salt flats, it still represents an opportunity for racers who have been prepping all year to get a look at times and performance. Some will need to make strategic and physical changes to run on the asphalt, but it’s part of the game when you’re pushing a vehicle to go as close to 200 mph as possible.<\/p>\n
The event will be live-streamed. You can check it out here at the SCTA-BHI website beginning on August 8:\u00a0http:\/\/www.scta-bni.org\/live-streaming.html<\/a><\/p>\n For more info, check out the SCTA site<\/a>, or visit the Facebook page<\/a> for the schedule of events and the modified rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bonneville Speed Week was cancelled due to flooding, but the SCTA-BNI has organized an event at the Mojave Mile to try and make it up to the LSR community.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":17254,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3470],"tags":[1357,1172,1184,3202,1185,3203,1186],"class_list":["post-17252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-bonneville-salt-flats","tag-bonneville-speed-week","tag-land-speed-racing","tag-mojave-mile","tag-scta","tag-scta-bni","tag-southern-california-timing-association"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/SCTA-Bonneville-Mojave-feature.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-4ug","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17252"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17257,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17252\/revisions\/17257"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
