Weather is not looking good, but I am glad they will make the call tonight. Wunderground now shows 70% chance of rain Saturday through Monday. That forcast extends north, and as far south as San Diego, and East to San Berdardino. Seems like a pretty big patch of ****ty weather.

I guess if it does not go Saturday, Sunday is unlikley, and the 4th will be it. I am not looking to borrow trouble, but thats what all current conditions would indicate.

Doesn't anyone have access to the NASA weather machine? I saw it on PBS.. ya know.

Unfortunately, weather is not looking too good for Saturday or Sunday for that matter, but the track will still wait till Thursday night/Friday morning to make the final call. If the weather does not change, we will likely get moved to December 4th....

Sucks is an understatement!

I can't do Sunday and I can't do the 4th of December! Fingers are still crossed for Saturday.

Sucks is definitely an understantement...

I already have my plane ticket down, the car is in transit towards LA, AND I'll be out of the country on the 4th!

So my fingers and toes are still crossed for Saturday!

Sorry bro.... I was really looking forward to seeing you beast run this weekend

There is still a chance though..... a few websites say that the showers are not till 7 pm on Saturday so we'll have to wait and see.

haha no worries man, trust me I'm as anxious as you are when it comes to seeing how this car will do! haha

But one thing I've learned with R&D, never get yours hopes up to high! haha

It seems like it's going to rain all through the coast the weekend....horrible.

Any chance or rescheduling for the 11th? I'm not intersted in racing on Sunday if it rains all day Saturday and The 4th I can't make it. Maybe we could have a poll to see what day works for everyone, if that's an option

Actually Famoso does an outstanding job of drying up the track extremely quickly with fire blowers and re-prepping within a matter of ours. I remember one time during one of our past rentals, it actually rained while we were racing, so we stopped until the rain stopped, they prepped the track and we were up within one hour with a fresh layer of VHT

Unfortunately, the way this is going, I think they'll be more rain on Sunday than on Saturday, so Sunday may not be an option anyways. However, I don't want to make any calls yet. Lets wait until we get an official final word from the track by tomorrow night/Friday morning before we explore other options.

Yes.... if the event does get postponed, we will re-open sign-up with new dates. It gets fairly cold in the valley during December so DA will be at the BEST as it'll ever get at the track

Event postponed....

!!!! IMPORTANT UPDATE !!!!

- EVENT MOVED TO DECEMBER 4th -

I'm sorry to bring you guys bad news.... I just got confirmation from the track that all of their sources confirm rain this weekend on both days Saturday and Sunday. And although the rain will be intermittent, it makes no sense for us to go out there and take a risk. So the event is now officially moved to Saturday, December 4th.

If you can't make it, please PM me. We will re-open the sign-up sheet again until November 27th.

The good news is that in December, Famoso literally sees the BEST DA OF THE YEAR. Hope to see you guys there

It sucks that the event is moved to a different date...

BUT...

If it means a shot at better DA's....I'm DOWN!~! I need all the help I can get! I hope everyone can still make it. I know I read some people will possibly not make it now, but I still hope they can!
