Way back when was sitting at the finish end of the lake watchin come straight at me. One came right up on the grass 20 feet away when the chute didnt work quite right. Watched many races there though when I was a kid and did the East Kern Municipal project in the 90s that plumbed the whole area into the city sanitation system, 180,000 feet of pipe...
Most people dont know how shallow that lake is, that coupled with the way it lays down in that bowl is what makes it such a food drag location because of how calm the water stays.
