Mark and I stopped by the Berenda Reservoir on the way back from Red Bluff and I must say I have never seen the lake bed before! They are to start filling it on Monday. I wish I had thought of this sooner and could have made arraingments todo this but I want to place a timelasp camera at the lake and film the weeks to come.
I think it would be cool to watch the lake fill, the track getting set up, the race, the track being torn down and then come back in 10 weeks and film the lake being drain and drying out back to being a lake bed.
Maybe next year!!!
Here are a few old memories from Chow. |

Those of you who came this year I would like to thank you.
What next year has in store, I do not know. The Chowchilla Parks & Rec. Director has been put in charge of keeping this race alive. Marty knows a lot more now than he did in the beginning. There were several things in the shadows that helped expedite the process. Unfortunately, everything comes with a cost.
If you would like to make your feelings known contact Marty, I do not know his last name nor do I have his email address. Go to the city's web site I'm sure you can find it there.
I wish you all well.

I need to give a special thanks to Bruce Pedretti for going out in the muck at Chowchilla yesterday and retrieving my lost rudder assy. That was really cool Bruce and probably just saved me $800.
Thanks again,
Eddie |
