I may have to battle rain and snow, but I'm going.

4:30 a.m. doesn't sound like fun does it? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/yawn.gif)

I hope the rain skips over the track. ( yeah right ) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

The wind ought to be blowing pretty good. It should be colder than a well digger's ass and it will probably be raining off and on. Other than that it should be a great day (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Actually any day at the track is better than being at work

Hope the weather cooperates for you. Is this with Trackmasters?

I'm already trailered up.
Truck has fuel and the car has gas with a splash of 110 octane on top.

Rain tires are in the bed, too (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Studded tires, check!

The last time I drove Laguna it rained almost ALL day.

Why?

I hope you stay dry Trekkor, but it doesn't look good..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I'll be helping out at the AX rain or shine, I may even run Fritz 1 run to get points if no other AX2 cars show. It's a long season. Gotta get those points!

With weather I have decided to go for phase II of my conversion - flares, cage and possible 5 lug. I should be read for Zone AX and track masters at the end of the month.

Supposed to be colder than a witches t*t - whatever that means. My parents in Oregon said it was a nasty and cold storm

Why? Because you live where it does that a lot.

I kinda remember rain: something about water falling from the sky, but it has been 142 days since we had measurable rain in Phoenix, so it is a vague memory. Not only is it a dry heat, but it is a dry every thing else. Great for 914s--hard to rust when it is bone dry.

Because this time of year 90% of the actual racing organizations dont have the tracks booked up! They know better.

Hope you are having fun. We were *supposed* to run Fontana with NASA this weekend, but we opted to stay home and sponsor the AutoX. We will run Fontana in two weeks with the Festival of Speed.
