We are in an "exceptional drought" here. Wish you could send some our way.

Yea I was there from 8:15Am till 5PM and it didn't rain at all. The weather was perfect...cloudy, cool, 70's.

Hope it's like that again today.

Sure it rained after we left but so what? That's why they sell the optional wiper system with these cars.

Yeah we had that a couple of years ago !

Overall the day was pretty good yesterday. Only rained early and late in the day. Won't stop us, we got a fat truck !

Headed back out there now.

I was there that year, it was hotter than _ _ _ _ all day then the sky fell Still, any day hanging around thousands of Vettes is a good day

Wasn't there a nasty storm there last year too? I remember pics of some vendor damage.

Hope everyone is okay!
