I am also bringing back the Salton Sea 500 in 2010 to compliment the Enduro as next to the Parker Enduro, the Salton Sea 500 was the oldest and during it's time was one of the most prestigous Endurance boat races in the world held at a time when the Salton Sea was at it's height of popularity.

Not in 2009 but definitely 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately due to the water level dropping again, the launch ramp at Varner Harbor is almost unusable, plus the depth of the harbor is 2 feet in some areas along with the California budget crisis there is no monies to fix the problem. However it should be fixed and part of the 2010 Salton Sea Speedweek slated for the 2nd weekend in December 2010 along with the return of the Salton Sea 500.

Please visit www.rpmracingent.com and look at the "Schedule of Events" page for all upcoming event information plus official statement concerning the cancellation of the 2009 Salton Sea Speedweek.

Thanks,

Ross Wallach, RPM RACING ENT.

Caught me by surprise too. Ross is being a bit optimisic for next year too. The only water that place gets is rain water. :eek

Unless the Colorado breaks its dykes and floods the valley, again....

(The creation of the Salton Sea of today started in 1905, when heavy rainfall and snowmelt caused the Colorado River to swell and breach an Imperial Valley dike. It took nearly two years to control the Colorado RiverÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s flow into the formerly dry Salton Sink and stop the flooding. As the basin filled, the town of Salton, a Southern Pacific Railroad siding and Torres-Martinez Indian land were submerged. The sudden influx of water and the lack of any drainage from the basin resulted in the formation of the Salton Sea.)
