Yup, not looking very good for this year's festivities. 60% chance of rain next Saturday. That is all.

I might just settle, and go to the Ltx shootout tomorrow, that way i can at least get some sort of fix. And if it doesn't rain Ls fest day, that will just be a bonus.

I don't trust a forecast till it's the day before or the day of. It's showed rain almost every year. It has rained at this event several times but it's always been ran. Wait till about Thursday to make your decision if you wanna go or not.

Yea, I went. We're very few cars out there, and out of them there was only one really fast car. And it was the Tytech car, went an 8.03 @175 first pass off the trailer. He made an exhibition pass trying to get into the 7s. He had them prep the track to the 8th mile to eliminate any chance of spinning lol. But his car was just too hot from hotlapping because of running two classes. Ended up running an 8.20 @173. Most of the other cars were just loud for no reason.

And I take that back, about there being only one fast car. There was a black 4th gen that was a really good running car. Can't remember exactly what it ran, but it was definitely fast.
