Actually over the years,they have had great weather for the VAST majority of their outings. True there have been a few that looked like a mud bog contest. A tip if there is rain,,,TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL!!! I had the wife stand at an opening with a flash light that routed me away from the main mud tracks and I made it find with T/C OFF. A buddy went through the mud,and was just about to reach pavement when his T/C kicked in and killed his momentum. Resulted in almost an hour wait for a tow to get out. Just something to keep in the back of the old brain file!
We will be up there Saturday with the Lookinglass C C of So.Il from the Belleville,Highland O'Fallon area. The Mid West has been baking for a while now so it should absorb a little rain,,,,I HOPE!!

Going to miss it this year. Too many things going on around here to get away. Maybe next year I'll make the trip.
