Ok, were definately getting together for a round. I can't compete with a 77 but will keep pace with the other duffers on here.

The weather should hold, not much rain in the radar right now. I will see what I can do at the track. If the main guy is there then I can pull those strings.

Dude we should go sometime. I used to play in high school but I've been so busy I never go out anymore. I'm probably good for a round in the low 80's though.

Forecast shows no rain until around 1am. Hooley you still going? What time?

Lots of wind though. Wind advisory until 8pm. Only bad thing is dust blowing on the track. Takes all the sticky away.

I'm going late if the wind dies down. The humidity is high, so DA won't be as good. If wind is a tail wind that is good for at least a tenth maybe more.

Friday Night Cancelled

If the weather passes quick enough then I'm game. It would have to clear up around 5pm to be open at night. They have a AZ fastest street cars race tomorrow during the day which is most likely to get cancelled. Best case for us would be if they do it at night, then great track prep for us. You should run in the 11.50 heads up class. It's a pro tree and no dials, just can't run faster than 11.50. You would be right on with them. Most are 11 sec cars slowing for the class.

Saturday Night Cancelled Sorry Sticky2 the rain sure came down this weekend.

This friday night is an ADRA race which should give some good track prep. Friday night weather should be good one more time. Will be busy but more rubber on the starting line is a good thing. I'm running in the race, hooley you ready for some bracket racing? If not the test n' tune lane is open. Mikey??

I know, I took a look at the weather forecast before I left and decided not to haul the drag radials. No point, and it started coming down hard.

So, no big deal.
