Ends at 5pm but we could always leave early haha. It might snow tomorrow too so if it accumulates too much then it wont clear by sat anyway. I know several of you guys are coming from long distances and I understand you need notice but I'm in a tough situation. I want it to happen for you guys but I dont want you to come down here and then it snows. I'm open to suggestions.

Thething I'm worried about is the snow tomorrow and then if it snows saturday. weather.com says 30% chance of snow sat night (they change there forecast alot) http://preview.weather.com/weather/w...20659?dayNum=3

Guys I am trying to make this happen trust me. Wtf is going on with the weather? 2 weeks ago it was 64 degrees! And average for this time of year is 47! If Claytons forecast is correct we should be ok, even though traction gonna suffer from temps. As long as there is no snow on the ground and we get cars it will happen.

We raced on 38-40 no traction issues, well we dont get those monstrous 1.51 like you do, but still i would give up a bit on the 60' for some -2000 DA
