Weather.com

shows showers end near 6am sunday and then its partly cloudy for the rest of the day...High in the mid 60's.

Just have to have guys bring the heavy duty blowers to dry off the track.

Sorry Charlie I can not make it this year...I am getting over a rather harsh infection mixed with Chemo Yesterday I have to stay warm if you catch my drift.
Hopefully next year....

Hopefully we do start by 9 because I know alot of people who don't show up to run at Lamirada are going to make this race. Some of the Pro Mod guys are going to make the race and I think even some mugen team drivers. It would be a shame if we don't finish the race...

Race is a go. Im predicting about 17 heats @ 2.26 hours per round starting at 9:30. If we can get the track to dry around 7ish..we will be good.
