    The weather is not looking to good for Saturday!!!! Up here they are saying 4-6 inches of snow and your weather says snow and rain now, this sucks.

    From Weather Underground:

    - FRIDAY NIGHT: Rain likely.
    - SATURDAY: Partly Cloudy, high of 40F.

    I guess I won't have to pack the thong.

    IMPORTANT WEATHER NEWS



    We will be watching the forecast closely in the next 24 hours. As many are aware, the forecast is sadly looking right on the edge of acceptable. The different between perfect temps, and temps too cold to run is only 5 degrees.



    At about 2:00 PM Eastern on Friday I will speak with the track, and we will decide if we can attampt to get the event in, or if we must cancel. I will do my best to post the decision here by 3:00 PM tomorrow afternoon.



    I understand people don't want to drive 250 or more miles just to turn around. Watch here for the decision tomorrow at 3:00 PM.

    I doubt I'll be seeing you guy's....rain and snow showers 37 degrees, not the best outlook as of 10:00 today.

    Rain, sleet, snow, nuclear fallout....I'll be there.
    Keith's got 4WD, so he'll probably be there too.
    LOL


    Tom- you know that there's no place on Earth that it *doesn't* rain, right? :grin:

    Weather looks to be a TINY bit wet, and kinda cold (high of 40F), but not too bad. Tonight there were (3) Low pressure systems over Nebraska & Kansas. Odd as hell.
    I'm guessing a damp/rainy Friday night and a dry but cool Saturday.

    I just finished my EIGHT STAGE (!) NOS system tonight. I call it "Octo-NOS". :laugh:
    Keith saw some of it this afternoon. He was floored.
    No pics until after the Indy GTG.
    :grin:

    Damp Friday night.
    Dry but chilly Saturday.

    Keith is young and easily impressed. If you have produced the Octo-Nos system....I will be forced to have X-Metal make adjustments to mine...perhaps the Nex Deci-NoS system

    I'm not sure you want to go this route, Tom.
    It's pretty hardcore.
    :grin:

    I think you'll dig it.
