Okay guys.... looks like the track folks are going for it. Bramage was right all along. All websites are indicating 10% chance of rain or less except for the stupid weather.com saying 20%. The local weather station at the track predicts no chance of rain until 6:00 pm or so, but we'll be done by then.

Tomorrow I will post the starting and ending times

For race fuel, please contact James@ACGSD. He will also be bringing a STAR system if anybody is interested in lowering their cars or having any diagnostic done.

Please drive safe and don't forget your helmets

Not anywhere near as low as the east coast. My dream would be to get a tenth of the DA's that they get. I'd honestly be happy with anything lower than 700. (Excuse the rant. East Coast DA's are absolutely amazing!!! )

It will start with -100 ft early in the morning and climb slowly to +900 ft (maximum) by end of the day. Unfortunately temps are expected to reach a high of 65 F which is higher than originally expected before the storm (47 F ). Last November when temps were in the 55 F range, we were at only +275 ft.

Regardless of DA though, it will be one AWESOME showdown at Famoso tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there

Alan, you're missing one of the best racing events of the year
