Went to T&T last night and I couldn't believe it. hardly anybody was there for a big race coming up you would think. Just a handful of Box guys and a handful of sportsman racers who don't know how to get a reaction time to save their life basically I had to track to myself....lol

Dino called me he's been down there since 12 noon he's all set up and camping out overnight he will call me if there is any rain out. If I find out anything I will call you. They said it was 50% chance of rain today and so far no rain. You never know.

I just pulled the plug on this event...Ryan is out and Rob is 80/20 against going as well...my problem is I have to get up at 3:15AM to leave and be there by 8AM...the weather is just too iffy to waste a day and spend $100 in fuel to watch it rain...

Today's forecast was nice down there but tomorrow it is completely awful...it did drop from 100% to 80% chance but that's not enough...man, I was looking forward to this event...if they postpone till Sunday I will be there...

p,s... I hooked my rig up in the rain this afternoon and have been charging the race car up...I'll be eating cold cuts and donuts and snacks all week...lol...

I don't blame you too long of a drive. When I get up in the morning be watching the radar and if everything looks good I will probably go and if it rains will get a rainout ticket be racing in two weeks anyway.....

Today rained out but not until after the first round...they will continue the brackets only tomorrow morning...I thought about going down and paying the entry fee plus the buyback but they are not allowing that..

96collector won his first round and had a .002 light...he does not get the bye since some guy had a .000 light...oh well...crack 'em real good, Rickster...
