Do you guys in the Michigan area have a handle on the local forecast in Alma this coming weekend? I see rain on my national database. I need a quick answer. I'm flying out of Houston and tryiing to outrun 'IKE'. A rain out at Stanton will hurt!!!!! Thanks, Scott
if you put a gun to my head, I think we will be OK... there is always a 30% chance of rain in Michigan, always.....
Might want to put the gun down Donny. :laugh: NOAA: Showers, 40% Friday, 40% Friday night, 60% Saturday. o No: Might be OK might not, tough to say two plus days in advance in Michigan. So packing the rain poncho and still planning on being there.:TU:
Thursday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 58. South southwest wind around 9 mph. Friday: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 76. West southwest wind between 6 and 9 mph. Friday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 58. Saturday: Showers and thunderstorms likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 75. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Saturday Night: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 59. the forcast got worse................ dammit now I gotta install the bilge pump, as if I did not have enough crap to do tomorrow.
All you local guys have it made!! I am going to leave in a few minutes, drive for 2 days, spend $900. bucks in fuel only, plus toll$ thru Chicago, only to wonder if it will be a rain out, but Ive been doing it for 11 years and wouldnt miss it!!!! :3gears: :3gears: :laugh: See ya, drive safe, Jim
Not looking too good, maybe things will change as we get closer.... Just realized that was a stupid statement I just made. Things always change in Michigan. Sometimes multiple times in one day. Like in politics, "change" can go both ways, not always good. It could snow! :eek2:
Has this race ever been rained out completly? I was planning to leave Thurs am,now I'm not sure.What do we do if it really rains? Party?
'05 was the closest to a rainout we have had. That was when they changed the format and it was open test-n-tune/ grudges. I am still coming up, so have positive thought and look for the sun!:Smarty:
Well I'm still on the fence right now. I won't have as much as 12secbee tied up in traveling(8 hours and about 400 bucks in fuel/tolls) . Who else is thinking about pulling the plug on going??Car is ready and loaded. Ty
I hope all you guys sitting on the fence decide to stay home. That will guarantee there's nothing but sun. Murphy's Law, you know. Seriously though, I'd be real surprised to see two solid days of rain. You'll get your runs in. It's way too early to believe weather reports anyway.
I'm loaded and leaving at 5.00 am thurs morning,rain or shine!!I've had a few months off from racing and I'm really looking forward to this weekend.I'll throw in some old Goodyear AquaTreads in case it rains!
Well,I am leaving tomorrow,hoping to get at least one day of racing in.I want the chance to beat the living !@#$ out of this disrespectful piece of equipment!:3gears:
