Weekend weather--crap
 
looking forward to a great 3 race weekend and I checked out the weather forecast. 60% chance of t-storms Friday and mid 50 degrees/windy for Sat/Sun as a high. Looks like today would have been the perfect day. There is always Steak and Shake to better my day.

Oh well, still coming out and its still better than work.

Later, JERSEY

Good decision, friday would be the one night that might cancel. As for the cooler temps, run a lot of antifreeze.

60 degrees is the high, low in the 30's. Cold at the 'Burg.

I pulled the plug because of Super 8 24 hour cancelation rule at Gas City and it seems like it would be a cold night at The 'Burg to watch too many support classes.

If there was just a slight chance of rain and the race was indoors you still probably wouldnt go..:14: At least the low temps keep the big bad bikers away....:18::18:

Look at the bright side. We might get a little rain the day they're racing at a track that is better when Mother Nature helps a little bit and then two days that'll be cool enough that the other two tracks aren't going to lose most of that moisture to evaporation. In my memory, many of the great races around here happen when it's not been too hot. It definitely makes the track crews jobs easier.

Tim,

It looks like a mid day chance of showers only. I think Jiggs will do everything in his power to get this show in. JMO. Your call.

We are hitting the road in the morning no matter what. I can maybe see a mid afternoon shower but hopefully it just passes through.

We just had a shower pass through here and it seems to be moving west to east. Didn't last long and the stars are out now. :6:

Seriously? I don't care for the mini sprints at all, but mini sprints and mods is too many support classes? 2 supports classes has caused you to cancel?

FYI - The average temperature for Apr. 17th for Lawrenceburg IN is 65 degrees. The average low is 39. The forcasted temperature at weather.com is 59 for the high (SUNNY) and 37 for the low.

Analysis: 6 degrees below normal for the high (even though sunny) and 2 degrees lower than normal is causing you to cancel because of "The cold - actually about normal, but Sunny weather? I am not trying to totally bust your balls, but it seems you just don't want to come out to the races. It actually probably rains or is cloudy about 1/2 the month minimum usually in April.

The stuff I read on here literally blows me away sometimes.
