I do agree, but doubt they will do that. We could try to setup our lanes that way so all cars we run or following slick or dr cars. ???

No I don't have the limiters yet the bottom mount is already on the control arm though. We just got some of the parts back for the limiters so they will be on it soon, not sure if they will get done by the weekend. I think I can control a lot of it with the suspension and how the progressive ramp is set up for now.

Not that I like doing it but the MWC tubular K-Member makes it easy, all I have to do is unbolt the 6 frame bolts and push the whole K-member forward and the pan falls right out. Putting the DRE engine diaper back on is the most difficult part.

40% chance of rain. Where'd you see 80?
Next Sunday is going to be rough for me. Oh well we'll see.
I'll just leave the car in the trailer for now or if weather looks better than 40 I might still go and get some track time in.

I've seen 50-60% and been getting emails and texts concerning the weather and
many canceling.

We did a track day a few weeks back with less a chance of
rain and got rained out which really sucked!

no weekend is good for me right now, but I will make anything work for this event

I saw it on Weatherbug.com, you can type in your city/state and it gives you the current weather and 7-day forcast..Sometimes its accurate and sometimes its off.

I use www.weather.com but who knows these days who''s right. However typically the hourly at this site is pretty close. Still 40% but I'll check in the morning. Either get a little test n tune or have a beer and watch some football.

Trying to clear my schedule for next Sunday we'll see how that goes. Get together for my Sons 30th bday next Sunday. Maybe I can schedule it so I can do both.

Forecast isn't getting any better.....

Probably the right call for everyone to reschedule. I was also hoping to get out with a great group of cars and comrades.

I was coming to tell everyone race safe & be careful.
Weather sounded iffy, so for something this important, it's worth being cautious.

45% chance of rain now by 12 noon. I don't think there'd be enough heat in the track with the clouds and the potential for rain. Hope to see you all next week.

I do feel it was the right move at this point for them to reschedule. We hope next weekend works out for us.

thanks everyone

Better luck next time, and I truly hope you get your event in for such an important cause.
If by some miracle it's over 60* I'll try and join you with my old junk.
