This is a bit complicated all things considered. Trying to imagine Saturday FORCE racers showing up Friday afternoon / evening to a facility full of Sunday Winter Series racers in the pits and on the track. Beyond my pay grade. Read on...

That really is not for me to say but I will find out by Wednesday and post it ASAP. Best guess after thinking about it? Yes. For series racers... Track will open at noon regardless.

Friday: Open practice for all FORCE and Winter Series participants.

We will keep it as 'open' until it reaches a point that we need to split nitro and Elec into a more controlled practice.

Winter Series peeps:
There will be plenty of pit space by Saturday night. Expect that if you stake claim Friday that it may be used Saturday by a FORCE participant. Try and keep your footprint small on Friday.

FORCE peeps:
You will have pit space priority on Friday / Saturday. Ken and I will manage it as best as we can (your welcome Ken).


I have some extra tables and will try and scrounge a few more. Bring what you have. We can run a double, or even a triple row behind the drivers stand (thus no parked cars in that area).

Please comply with the parking requests (photo attachment). The success and failure of the weekend shuffle hangs on the notion that everybody will do the right thing.

Repeat:
Red= no parking
green= orderly free-for-all
Yellow= trailers (detached from vehicles)
Grey= tents only, no cars, no trailers (2+ deep if required)

Tenters- Pull in, unload, park vehicle elsewhere
Trailers- Pull in, detach, park vehicle elsewhere

Default Rain please stay away

The weekend golf game or family picnic might be in danger.

South Florida and much of the rest of the state could be roughed up by stormy weather on Saturday and Sunday, the National Weather Service in Miami said.

Some of the storms could be severe, said meteorologist Robert Molleda. “There is definitely that potential,” he said.

Blame a strong low-pressure system moving across the Gulf of Mexico toward the state. Thunderstorms are expected to sprout ahead of and behind it. It also should be mostly cloudy and breezy both weekend days, with gusts of up to 30 mph.

Although the timing is still uncertain, the worst of the weather is to arrive by Saturday afternoon and continue into the night.

“It might not be stormy all day, but as these squall lines move through, that’s when there’s the best chance of severe weather,” Molleda said.

Friday’s forecast calls for partly sunny skies and a 30 percent chance of rain.

Stay tuned for information regarding Sundays Winter Series Race. I know we are all trying to be optimistic about the weather, but its not looking good for any racing this weekend. We may have to reschedule, I am thinking a double header next weekend, Supercup Saturday and Water Series Round 3 Sunday, oops I mean Winter Series! Most likely we will have to reschedule but stay tuned!

Thanks!
Mike
