I saw most people coming in carrying coats and I thought "why is everyone bringing coats with them?"....by 8 p.m. I knew why...lol Trust me you will need the warm clothes. Weather calls for Sunny and highs in the upper 70's all week. Have fun....you will enjoy Perris.

Thanks Cowboy, wondering about that myself, just checked Weather Underground. I'm used to dry cold here in Denver, it snowed 4 inches this morning, then the sun came out, I was on my bicycle at 4 pm. But 40 degrees on the Gulf Coast is unbearable, way too humid. Isn't Perris kind of in the desert? I'll bring warm stuff, cause Monday when I fly home its supposed to snow again anyway

Got up at 5:30 AM to get flight in Denver, no problem, got to Salt Lake City for connection to LA, half the plane boarded, they tell us altimeter isn't working. After we sat on plane getting hotter & hotter, they told us to get out. Now we're killing time waiting for them to figure it out.... you'd think they'd have spare planes gassed up & ready to go?
I guess they trim every expense possible to increase profits :11:

Perris can be 100 plus summer while Ventura might be in the 60's on the same day.
I am lucky I can go to both tracks.

No big deal, just add or delete clothes. Only bad weather day at a sprint car race, is when it rains :13: I missed the trophy cup this year when the mud shut down the 5, looks like great weather for everyone this week.

cheers

Yep, they're saving $$ at our expense. Ticket agent just told me spare planes would be a drain on their budget. I should have flown to Ontario, Ca. as someone suggested. Planned this flight so as to get to LAX about noon, miss rush hr. traffic.... now? :7:

Crap that sucks

u can still catch tonights races on the cushion.

ALSO NO MATTER WHAT TIME IT IS or day, expect delays, stop and go. U might get lucky, and speed right to the track.

Goodluck and safe travels.

As I was pulling in the parking lot, B Main was just starting. Go see A-Main, which was quite good, several lead changes. Traffic is INSANE in L.A. area, took me 3 1/2 hrs. to get from LAX to Perris, & I cheated by using carpool lanes on & off.... do they enforce those? I couldn't help thinking "Why would anyone live here?" but obviously millions do...
Tri-tip sandwich was killa...
Hopefully I'll be less stressed out tonite, but at his point, give me Kokomo & summertime!
I'll be wearing a Darland or Smackdown T-shirt if you see me before "sweatshirt time", say Hi. It was cold but not as bad as Volusia in Februray...
