I think there is an event this weekend out there. If there is snow or ice I'm pretty sure they will cancel the event.

I'm signed up for the F-body event this weekend and the weather should be in the 50's.
Good for horsepower
Bad for Grip

But thanks for bringing up the crappy weather, I just drove back from Milwaukee to pick up some brake supplies and went through a nice rain/sleet/snow/hail storm. They don't even talk about weather like that in the bible!!

Anyway I'll put Blizzaks on my car if I have to to get some laps in!!!!

Oh yeah NASA has an event there next weekend, MFBA is this weekend.

Tom I guess you just weren't tough enough for the Wisconsin winters

Actually MFBA's Spring event April 8th & 9th, we did get snow friday before the event but it was in the high 50's low 60's for the event, there was ice under 2 of the bridges for the morning sessions.

Maybe MFBA could trade dates with ALMS or Champ Car.

We just got a little dusting. Nothing major, but it just showed us that it will be here.
