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.

No I meant that next sunday is our last shot, I already have the track reserved for us. If weather doesn't cooperate we're done for the season. MIR closed last week lol.

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.

Yeah i scooped it up today and it actually cleaned up pretty nicely and that crease in the 1/4 panel is barely visible . Never made it too silver star today , was a lil worried it might start snowing .

Seen your car on the lift today and i take it you never made it by silver star either??? . Your car is gonna be a killer once done !!! GL

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.
