El Mirage Dry Lake

El Mirage dry lake bed has been home to Land Speed Racing (LSR) for more than half a century.  It is located just 30 miles east of a growing high desert community known as the Antelope Valley.  Back when Land Speed Racing was young, a group of men that had been racing on the dry lakes for several years, decided to incorporate and create a new racing organization which would enforce safety procedures and promote the sport.  Hence the birth of the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA).  This year, the SCTA is celebrating its 61th year of LSR activities at the El Mirage dry lake. *Also featured in the movie Lethal Weapon*
