Just curious whos' going to Mission for the "BC Nationals" as they call it, this weekend. I'm hoping, of course, that the weather will cooperate.

Im at a rest area south of Seattle. We will be there tommorow. Long drive from Bakersfield. Took our time. Hope the weather holds out.

Bring your umbrella, The forcast is not looking very good.

After planning on Mission for "many" months with everything ready to go, I decided to pull the plug last night as the weather there looks terrible for the weekend. Hard to justify pulling twelve hours plus one way through the mountains just to sit around.

For all the people who do go I hope you get some racing in.

I had to take this week as holidays at work to get the Thurs, Fri, & Sat off, so I`ll be there for the test session Thursday morning. The weather forecast seems to change so often, last night the local News showed rain on Friday, dry Sat & Sun, but the Weather Network admititly doesn`t look great, but I`ll go anyhow. Luckily I live less than an hour from Mission, but I certainly understand how someone 12 or more hours would be hesitant. See you there, Danny?

Well if you don't go because it may rain, then you find out there runnin, your pissed! so you make the trip and take the odds. if it does happen rain you huddle with all your freinds under some ones awning, have multiple cocktails! or the beverage of your choice and tell stories to kill the time. this time of year in the great N.W. is just how it is. See ya up there.

That is a good point regarding sitting with friends in the rain when racing is not possible. The northwest racers definitely make the best of it when that is the case.

For me Spokane is a go rain or not. It has been eighteen years since I last raced a divisional and I just can't wait any longer.

I agree with Jim,,, if you're going to get rained out, get it at the track, not your home. Last weekend, my wife called to ask how bad the rain was, since it was pouring at the house, and I told her we were in the staging lanes ready to run at Bremerton, only 30 minutes away.
However, if I had a real long tow, I'd think long and hard about it. I'm only 3 hours away from Mission, so you know I'll be going,,, no dog in the fight, but love to watch you guys (and gals) do your thing.
