True, but it's hard to ignore the massive storm front that's moving directly towards the IL/WI boarder.

Will it break apart and dry up? Only time will tell.

Looks like it could go either way, humidity is only 44% so rain is not for sure I would think.

I'm out, though the Formy could make hits right now. Sorry Larry that I am sackless.

Come one John, I want to really see your car run one of these days! Let me start at 1/8 mark and give me the hit and we'll run. LOL I'll still lose but at least I can say I was ahead of you for part of it.

Skies are okay here downtown, blue with a lot of clouds but the white ones not the dark gray ones.

Have fun at the track guys!

Sorry if I knew what you looked like I would have stopped and said hi.
The rims do look pretty good but they still need a real good polish. I just bought a ton of stuff from Zanio so sometime this week they are getting a really good polish so they'll really stand out.
