Rain or Shine?
Is the event rain or shine this sunday? Right now it's looking like thunderstorms. Could be a repeat of last year.

Where the hell are you? Cuba?! Ive heard thunderstorms for about a week and a half, and they said its a definate for late afternoon storms, but most are still unsure on the morning. But, for instance, what if it pours all day long? Would there be a rain date or are we SOL?

is there a rain date or is it just not going to happen? i live on long island and so far we have about 15-20 wanting to attend and its going to be atleast a 2 hour+ drive for us. it would really suck to drive all the way there and have it rain so lets hope for no rain or atleast a rain date.

so far there's no raindate printed in the schedule. if there is to be one it will be decided on after this weekend, and will probably be towards the end of the season.

or here's an idea... THANKS PAUL!
how bout instead of everyone calling meeeeee you can all call the track which will conveniently have a recording 908 637 6060, for an 830 opening we will probably decide by 730.
i'm going out tonight so may not be back on to check any PMs, but anyone who has a really long drive, like over an hour, i give anyone who does have my number permission to pass it along (Al, Ian, Paul, Tim, Justin, j0n, Brandon, Jake, JM, Kasey, Noah, Liz, Matt, any of the various Mikes, Vitals and anyone else who might have it). but please... call the track number FIRST!!! I don't want 7 billion calls in the morning if its already cancelled, because i WILL be going back to sleep if thats the case.

We are at the Holiday Inn in Mt Arlington and it rained for about an hour or so. Looks like chance of rain in the afternoon on Sunday.
I would head up and call on the way.

It was HOTTER than HELL last year. I think the track temp was 104°!!!!
I sat all day under an umbrella with a soaking wet towel on my head. Its was unbearable.
I can deal with a little drizzle at 70°. I don't have to worry about waxing the car tonight!
