So whats the opinion on the outlook for Saturdays Corvette Challenge? Does not look to promising, and with the gas prices it really makes for a hard decision.

I know we're not supposed to talk (or post) about the 'r' word but you guys are coming from really FAR away so you definitely have every right to talk about it LOL.
It doesn't look promising at all in my opinion.

70% chance of Rain for Saturday. Been pretty cold and damp so far this spring. Feels like November not April.

I hope they cancel this race early. ETown if your listening PLEASE post some guidance as soon as possible because gas and tolls is just too much money to just turn around. Leaning on staying home. Depression is starting to set in. Will last a month.

Not looking good. Although if it is going to rain, I sure hope it doesn't rain on and off causing the track to try and get us in. If it rains, I hope it pours so there is no chance of racing. I have no desire to drive home in the rain. Besides I could use the day to polish the car up real pretty like

If they do anything early, I will use our twitter account to send a message. If you rather, RP is also on twitter and facebook and they may make an early announcement there as they did a few weeks ago when the weather was iffy for a Friday night.

I don't think it has anything to do with rain. I think his tow rig isn't working right and it's not like you can drive that race car to the track

Oooh, more powa? Re-tuned?
What did you change dude (other than some much needed racing skill improvements )?

I think he could drive it to the track (E-town more so than Atco) if he wanted to especially once he puts his drag radials on, he just chooses not to because he does have a trailer. And it would be kind of silly to suddenly need a trailer at the track and not have it all while having a really nice one sitting at home in your driveway.
