I've been a member here for a long time and have always wondered how many members aren't capable of finding out a weather forecast for the area they are traveling to.

It must be a pretty high percentage.

I've been a member a long time and don't believe any forcast over three days. ahead.

Maybe we could get the "Hillbilly Weatherman" who posts when big storms are coming to New Hampshire, to post Midwest racetrack weather. He's pretty popular in New England. Fairly accurate too...

Showed on facebook they move everything up 1hour. Hot laps and qualifying to start at 5:30 Id be happy with a 4p start

I’d be happier with a 1pm start. No reason not to. It’s going to be cold but once the sun goes down it gets really cold!

Everyone wants to see their first spring race. Here is the latest Saturday forecast I just found. Put yourself in the promoter's shoes. Can Paragon gross enough admission and back gate $$$ to cover all the expenses, the purse and make a profit on a day / night like this? What if it's your track / business? We'll soon find out.

While I can understand 92’s point about starting at 1, there is actually a reason not to. Let me just take a minute to remind people what happens to dirt tracks when you race in the daylight. This creates three problems. 1 the track burns up. 2 the track requires more work and burns up anyway and 3 people complain about the track burning up and freezing because it went too long. If the track can break even, then good for them. I certainly agree with Charles that I don’t put a whole lot of stock in forecasts this far out. But if the high temperature forecast is 42 next Thursday for Saturday, and it was my track, I’m postponing. Cold take’s the fun out of it

Counterpoint for a 1p start . Were in early March with a wet and cloudy forecast leading into Saturday I dont think track conditions would deteriorate like it would during a day race in the summer. Keep in mind this is the opinion of a race fan who knows absolutely nothing about track prep
