Default May 17th, Good time to go to Grand Island

Well, because there isn't any racing on sunday due to the tamiya race, I thought it would be a good idea to go to grand island. only about 2 hours away. weather looks like sunny and 70's

I'm driving, and could take a person or 2.

I'm not sure what time they get done, maybe one of the grand island guys can give a general time when racing finishes up. then I can tell you it's 2 hours on top of that to get home.

I know the Grand Island guys are always happy when we come down to race. It's a fun track, I've always liked racing there.

Picture on neobuggy showed the access road still flooded as of yesterday so I would think that the track is also still flooded...

The race director there was saying it shouldn't be by last night. But, I am still leary about driving all the way down there if it rains again. I was thinking of going to waterloo if they race this weekend.

well, if they get done at 6 then we'll be home by 8-8:30

And I read on rcprosites that they are already issuing refunds for the dirt burners race in st louis.

now you threw a wrench into things. desmoines sounds like a good Idea also.

Ok, Who would rather go to grand Island or desmoines?

I could go either way because it's about the same distance for me.

Hey SpiderRC8, don't shoot me for not knowing, but who are you?
