Do any of you know of a good track further south (Carolina's or Georgia) that is open this time of year that has good DA? Anywhere but this Florida DA. I'm already off this weekend and I NEED to go racing. HA! HA!

And you know what's gonna suck? Is that it probably won't even rain or snow on Saturday. Good Ole Bob Ryan at NBC hasn't gotten a forecast right since the 60's.

I'm very angry.

Sorry to hear that your event got cancelled as well. Same happened to our Sacramento private rental. Some of the guys may still go up for the open test n tune but most will probably not.

So does this mean no chance of re-sheduling the private rental day for next Sunday? Dang bro my new drag radials mounted on 16"s just came in today...would love to run these at least once instead of packing them in for the winter brand new...

Keep your eyes peeled for Sacramento results, very dissapointing you guys are not able to run. I would love to see 1/4 mile runs on studded tires and or with chains, maybe on snow mobiles

Been snowing at my house since about 7am. Calling for up to 6inches in Frederick. Less down south, but it was a good call to cancel. No chance the track will be ready for Sunday or even Monday. Looks like next weekend is the earliest.

Benz-O-Rama is getting antsy about our 12/13 MIR rental

Looks like a great forecast during the day, but maybe some precip in the later hours.
