Saturdays Forcast
Weather forcast is clear, 61 with extremely windy conditions. Whats RP's policy on extreme windy days? Could we be limited to the 1/8 ? Accuweather is forcasting 28mph with gusts to 58mph.

If it's windy...over 30 mph winds,then count on an 1/8 mile limit. It's for safety.

Tom, if its windy they will cut us t the 1/8 mile. the index would be somewhere 6.70-6.75 for the 10.50. For the 11.50, it was a 7.40 index...

1/8 mile racing due to wind is interesting because it seems to catch people off guard.. more mistakes on the "top end", etc.
Personally, I won't complain if Saturday rains out!

LOL...one weekend together and he is onto you.
Edgar's not as dumb as he looks.
It's a shame that an NMCA Champion is going to be crying the blues this Saturday in ten-fitty.
1/8th mile or 1/4 mile, I'm ready.
Its win light or red light and don't worry about me running the number due to wheel spin.
I plan on holding a half second in my pocket.
No more losses with .001 lights for me.
You clowns better take the stripe, cause I ain't giving it to you!

Don't worry about me.
I know where I am on the race track.
The extra time is in case the cars decides to hesitate or spin or what ever.
I want to make sure that I can run the number no matter what happens.
Now pay attention, the light is where the stripe comes in.
When my light is better, I can take the stripe no matter what, even in a double break out.
Just say your prayers that you don't get lined up with me.
Chump...I mean Champ.
Going Red or Going Rounds.
Put up or Shut up.
