Place your bets for tomorrow's track day weather

[silverblueBP]

30% chance of rain all day today = NO RAIN


40% chance of rain tomorrow = ?????????


Last track day was 10% chance of rain and it rained ON me as soon as I went on track.



Winner will be announced Thursday morning and will receive either a Voodoo doll of Rick (if it rains), full of pins and gaping wounds or a picture of me passing a PT or a PJ.

[70 StangMan]

Just sayin' that would be my luck as well.

I looked at the weather map earlier today and seen all the rain over that way.  My first thought for some reason was,  MARK WON'T BE RACIN AGAIN.

I'll say no rain....just to be different.

[Opentracker]

Well, with your luck it might snow, so you should hang onto those snow tires you have for sale !

I don't see E. All of the Above as an option.  That's what I would vote.

[AzPete]

I'm betting on a flat tire on the truck....in the rain......at the track entrance.....blocking traffic....just before it snows.

[silverblueBP]

May the curse of a thousand seed ticks infest the frontal area of your britches.

[Fast68back]

You know where my vote went...

the view on the track tomorrow:



you could always take the tractor....

With Earl heading up the coast towards me, yesterday I turned the Weather channel on for the first time in a couple of years.

Side-track.....  my retired Dad lives down in Florida.  Whenever there's any kind of weather event that could possibly effect me in the slightest my phone starts ringing and my dad asks "Have you seen the weather channel?"  "Um, no dad, what's going on?"  He'll then go into his "Hurricane Central" update to give me all of the details.  I know that the weather channel exists, but rarely will I ever turn it on.  Even with all of my power, there's just not much I can do to change the weather.  It is what it is.

Back on track.... My dad hasn't called me so I decided to turn on the weather channel.  While waiting for the latest hurricane update I had to sit through the "national forecast"... where for Wednesday they showed a massive rain/storm event moving across the midwest.  The first thing that I thought of was.... wait for it.....  Mark's gettnig rained out again!

your dad would like my best friend's dad, a floridian now transplanted in nc. he keeps the t.v. locked on the weather channel during the day & compares data with the national radar on the computer.

anytime i see its him calling during the daytime, i know i'm fixing to get some bad weather. kinda like having my own personal weather alert system.

[daveSanborn]

I'm begining to think that all retired people (sorry Pete) have not much else to do but sit around and watch the weather channel.

Yeah, but the rain is FORMING east of Topeka, not west for a change! I'm still holding out hope.

I have my computer set for Kansas weather.......always good for a laugh.

[Mach1ne]

I just spoke with Mark.  He is at the track and the sky is blue.  Hopefully he will be on the track by 4:30.  No rain dancing now.

I did not make it.  Work has been a bear this week and just could not get the strength up to go (mental not physical).

[silverblueBP]

Ahhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha , you all lose

And win.


It rained on the way to the track, but it was BLUE SKIES at the track. Ran the first session, car was great. No vibrations, nothing bad, it was blazing fast (as usual) and I had a Kev load of fun.

Second session, not so much. Either something in the engine broke or the ignition system/battery puked. I'll have to spend this weekend trying to figure out what actually happened. One second it's running great, the next....missing, popping, loss of power and if in neutral it would immediately die.


 

Sad part was, I went out behind a 2010 Ferrari 458 Italia and was hoping to get a few seconds of video as he sped away. Yeah, that didn't quite pan out like I hoped.

Maybe I'll notice some strange sound after I watch the video.


Have I mentioned that this year sucks?
