Re: Belle Rose
I agree, I haven’t been able to even start the car up, and testing before Belle Rose is not gonna happen, I’ll probably just wait on Houston race and hope for the best.
This is the first day above 25 degrees here in the Hill Country and still have 6 inches of snow and ice and another storm tonight and tomorrow with a 80% chance of snow and ice. Can only imagine what people in north Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma are going through. RJ |

Re: Belle Rose
It's bad here but nothing like Texas. Grass parking will be tough at NPR. Hope my D4 Texans can hunker down. We have power but little water. RationPhish

Re: Belle Rose
Not disagreeing here. The more rescheduling that happens, the more race dates will run into each other. Not to mention each facility’s own plans.

Re: Belle Rose

Re: Belle Rose
We moved snow for over an hour yesterday to get the Pinto in the shop to do some final winter maintenance on it. Some of the drifts were 4ft deep, but we expect this sort of weather when we're getting ready for Belle Rose.
Ranger was finished a couple weeks ago so it is ready to rock and roll. I for one am hoping to get south for a couple of races for sake of sanity! We'll be in Belle Rose as long as it happens. Hopefully the majority of Texas and other southern racers affected by this weird weather will have power restored and relatively normal weather conditions back soon... |

Re: Belle Rose
In addition to Ellis, I know of at least 6 other racers that are looking forward to making the tow down to Belle Rose from Illinois next weekend. I will have to move snow to get stuff loaded too.
That 70 deg forecast for Belle Rose next weekend is looking really good right now. Hopefully everybody can get thawed out and make it next weekend.

Re: Belle Rose
I just spoke to NPR. A decision will be made on Sunday or Monday about the points race.. That is all I know right now.
