At least leave the fields open so when it does inevitably rain I can get in for the reschedule.

Just wait till next year when the Epping National Event takes away another free weekend to move things. Going to be a tough one trying to schedule all the association races & special events next year around everything. Just hope we go into a drought and get no rain all summer...lol.

The 2010 E-town div'l was adjusted to 1 tt Saturday then run to completion. They got everything but 2 finals done before curfew. That was a great call by the D1 staff since the forecast was about garranteed to be a wash on Sunday. I'm sure the D1 guys will be fully on top of things like they were then.

This forcast could change a couple of times till the weekend , but we've had worse forcasts than this and got the race in.

It's drizzling now at Etown and it's calling for it steady all day . I live in the DC metro area and our forecast for today was sunny and 92 , but its been a steady drizzle since last night and the radar maps show it pushing up the east coast towards Etown .

I dont know about the rest of you but I dont want to sit in the rain or deal with a wet track . This race should be rescheduled to the wed &thur before Charlotte or the wed & thur before Bristol points meet

Etown is one of my favorite places to race but I cant waste time or the money to go if it rains out , setting in the rain or dealing with a bad track wont help NHRA or the racers

Some of us already have to chose not to go back to Indy from div 1 (22) cars

Re: Postpone Englishtown
 

Why move a Div. 1 race to div.2 because it works for your schedule ?

Re: Postpone Englishtown
 

My opinion is to do anything possible to run the race on the scheduled date. Rescheduling is a nightmare, and there are very few times that you are positive that it is going to rainout.

The end of the year also makes it harder to reschedule because you are just plain running out of time, and there are points implications.

Our division does a great job of making adjustments for weather, Bob and Dave are not afraid of running as much as possible on Saturday to get it done. Let's face it , we are already there, and mother nature is not always in our corner

Next year will certainly be even tougher, especially up in the very northeast with new englands national event and they also are adding a heritage race.

see you saturday morning at e'town

Re: Postpone Englishtown
 

Jim it was just a option . Lots of racers will be at both of those events . Jim , I'm curious what do you race ?

Re: Postpone Englishtown
 

Is Jack going?? That's the question. :-)

Re: Postpone Englishtown
 

If you were not at etown how can anyone say it was raining drizziling or rained out. We got there at 1:30. Parked in the field . Got in and parked. Had something to eat and drink and the sun was out left at 9:30 no rain no drizzle ! Place was filling up quickly.. The weatherman gets paid millions. And cant get it right 90% of the time.
