Thats a bummer was looking forward to meeting the canadian I have learned a good amount from...

You guys should be fine. If you remember last year Jason told us to keep it above 10.00 and we did, for a little bit.

Actually I don't remember anyone spinning, even on the first couple passes (maybe Gary) but that was it.

When you were cutting those incredible 60's at the import event, what was the track temp?

I would have to say perfect. But I don't think you guys will need or see those conditions. I think everyone there ran new PB's (or broke at the line) MIR is an incredible track like no other.

Don't worry about the track, have fun & be safe.

Yeah the temps are favorable for some low DA but a lot will depend on the barometer, which unfortunately isn't lookin' to be quite as high as most would like see as of right now.

I know there's that Best Western (La Plata?) which was pretty close, maybe 6-10 miles away?

Just saw that! Chance of snow near 100%! I'm supposed to drive down Thurs. night. My rear tires are balding enough where dry pavement & cold is a challenge. Can't drive there in snow!!

What are we gonna do? May lose my room rate as well!
They won't plow the track!

I saw only a 60% chance during the day with only a 30% chance at night.
I'm thinking some mild flurries with only minor accumulations on the grassy areas, no need for panic just yet.
