It was hard to get it off my tires.
For practice and first 2 races it was very bad, race 3 and the main I didn't have that build up on the tires.

The spray works good for the foam tire guys.

The weather looks bad all day......No racing today.

I will post on here every Saturday morning at 6:00ish to let everybody know if we are racing or not.
If the rain, snow, hail or meteor shower looks like it will clear up by 12:00 will give it a try.
The track dries up fast, if we start late will do 2 qualifiers and the mains.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, low 40 degree weather with Eastern wind off the lake in your face yesterday at the track. Let's think about at least a 50 degree minimum w/wind chill figured into the temp before we race. I can post weather conditions on race day as I live 5 minutes from the track and outta the sack around 5AM thanks to my doggie. She's as accurate as an alarm clock.

Yes I think your right Bill.
It's hard to do anything when your hands are shaking.

If you would do that...... That would be great, I'm sure it would be a big help to a lot of people.

Yup,

We can't blame you this time. You are back in SC for the weekend, right?

Thanks! Well, Duck and I are heading a little north this weekend ;-), we're going to Raleigh, NC for the Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Tour!!! That shouldn't send bad weather all the way to Toledo!!!! Besides, it's nearly 80 here!!!

Good luck!

Last year I think you electric guys got in atleast 3 races before the gas cars got one in. Looks like a flip flop of last spring.
