Troop consists of 31 Scouts ranging in age from 13 to 48 year old assisted by Scoutmaster, Paul Aldous and 8 assistant Scoutmasters. Wait — you asked how do they have a 48 year old Scout and why so many assistant Scoutmasters? Terry, who is our 48 year old, is excited as anyone could be to attend the Jamboree. He is diabetic and very hard to understand but that does not curtail his Scout spirit.
There are nine Scouts who have special needs. The needs range from learning disorders, Down syndrome, autism, muscular disorders and the list goes on.
When we discuss our needs the attitude focuses on ability rather the disability. They want to do everything offered at the Jambo including shooting, fishing, scuba diving and run the marathon. The majority of the boys are Eagle Scouts including several who are special need Scouts. They each understand the values of living by the Scout Oath and Law.
Helpfulness and Loyalty are especially important to each member of Troop for they look out for their buddies. Leadership of Troop is lead by the boys and the patrol method is how we take care of the needs of each member. Our troop amulet is the Bonneville race car, Speed Demon. We know the Speed Demon is an amazing car and Troop has a high goal to achieve such a standard as this world class race car has but we promise to do our best, work hard and have lots of fun.
El Mirage July Weather was real nice for this time of year on the desert, low s with a cloud cover at times that brought the temps down. A brief rain misting on Saturday and Sunday was welcome but brought the dreaded humidity that our friends on the East coast love so much.
Clearly an amazing accomplishment by all involved. The past two years Doug knocked around the MPH mark by setting records from to Congratulations Doug, welcome to the club. There were a further 10 car and 9 motorcycle records in addition to the two mentioned above. Michele was on course early and ran in class, a huge jump over the record.
This allowed Miriam to move into third place in points to the leader and one above her husband Doug who was mentioned earlier.
This is a beautiful car and Greg was rewarded by a class record of over the minimum of I made him remove the head in order to measure the engine for class. We sealed it up so he will good to go for Speedweek. The third Jack Costella designed streamliner running the dirt this year belongs to driver Tim Cunha.
Jamie Wagner's bikes set two records this meet. Good job, Jeannie! As you can see there were a lot of big jumps in speeds. I will go on a limb and suggest that the course relocation and cloud cover helped quite a bit this weekend. I did notice some entry code errors which nullified some runs. Please be careful when filing out your entries. The coding cannot be changed after the first vehicle runs. Well, its off to Bonneville in a little over three weeks.
Speedweek Salt Report. Larry Volk was on the salt a few days ago early July and reports that it looks very good for the upcoming racing season. Based on what he reported there will be three courses again for Speedweek. The site for the long course has been chosen -- but won't be surveyed and set up 'til all are comfortable that there won't be a weather disaster. A long course and two short courses have been dragged in to shape, and the short course is dragged for 8 miles in case the present long course gets farkled by weather.
