A little under 3 weeks until this race, Gainesville should hopefully have crisp air for this

Any Ponchos coming out?

Tomorrow kids, looks like the weather might be okay after all. 10% chance of the wet stuff and high of 70.

I'll be there in the only 13 second blue Formula

From the Gainesville weather center, at 7:15 am:

Current conditions: Cloudly, 59 degrees, 87 % humidity, 30.18 barometer

Todays forecast: Mainly cloudy. A few peeks of sunshine possible. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 72F. Winds light and variable.

By hour:

10 am - Mostly Cloudly, 63 degrees, 75 % humidity, 10% chance of wet stuff

12 noon - Mostly Cloudly, 67 degrees, 68 % humidity, 10% chance of wet stuff

2 pm - Mostly Cloudly, 70 degrees, 61 % humidity, 10% chance of wet stuff

4 pm - Mostly Cloudly, 69 degrees, 63 % humidity, 10% chance of wet stuff

6 pm - Clouds/Few Showers, 64 degrees, 78 % humidity, 30% chance of wet stuff

The weather expressed here doesn't reflect the views of Villain281H/Derek, and in case of weather change Villain281h/Derek will not take responsibility for cancel plans, wet cars and pissy mood swings.

Careful what you wish for.

Rain out, racing next Saturday the 9th. We were 10 minutes from TNT lanes calls, and the air was 200 DA Then it started misting, stopped then rained a little, stopped, then (you get the idea). About 1 pm they pulled the plug.

Bunch of sweet rides there, including a good 10-12 GN and T-types for a heads-up turbo shootout, plus they were supposed to have a heads-up pontiac LSX shootout as well. Be interesting to see who returns next week.

Bring your bottle and come play John!

Jason, bring your damn GTO next week and not the push car!
