Everywhere I check says 0% or 10% chance of rain. I think you guys will be fine.

1 rainout in 40 years... odds are in our favor..

I picked up the trophies last night. They are sweet.. But you don't get one if you don't show up and run!

Our Dealer Sponsors logo looks real nice!!!!!!!!!

little confused on the pricing. The website says the car show is free for spectators, but the flyer does not mention this. Also can we park in the same hotel parking lot as a spectator?

I agree on the odds and we will be there but it did get rained out 2 or 3 years ago after a few of us drove 2.5 hours to Sacramento Raceway to find the gates closed.

That was a rainstorm that started Saturday and continued through Sunday. The track didn't call the race until 1am on Sunday since they didn't want to have a refund situation. Rain is a refund situation.

We should be good this weekend.

If your worried call before you head out.

Car show is free for spectators. You can park in hotel lot as well. You can also be in the show and not have your car judged. We do not take up the whole lot.

I remember that day well. We spent the entire afternoon, evening and late into the night watching dopler images. According to them it should have stopped raining early Sunday morning but Mother Nature had made up her mind to keep it wet. It was so much fun being in charge of that event. Thank you Tim for taking it on this year.

SacCityCorvette will be there. Not sure if can run our z06, the drive shaft just started rattling like a bearing or a coupler went bad.

Its going to still be fun to watch! I hope its a big turn out!

I had to miss it because I gave away my daughter the day before and family was still in town. Awesome wedding by the way. In any case, I'm sorry I missed it this year.

Congrats to Willie Woo- it sounds like he had himself quite a day! I hope everybody else had a good time too.

I only had one decent pass which was the first one at 10.73 at 138 but my 1.5 year old MT's broke loose badly on the 1-2 shift on all subsequent runs causing it to hit the rev limiter and short shift into 3rd gear. Time for some new and or better tires I think.

Thanks. I really need an aftermarket stall converter to lower my 1.8x 60' times and maybe better gearing (vs. the 2.56) that I have now to get the ET down to where it should be for the MPH numbers. My car is a Monterey Red C6 (with A6 tranny) and I will attach a pic taken earlier this year at the Mojave Mile event.
