The projected radar path on intellicast.com shows it moving inland slightly....missing the Atco area.....I'm outta here....see you there. Keeping my fingers crossed.

7:10 and all is dry, except me. Still some morgan left at the bar.

The weather for record runs looks outstanding, one of them fast Atco days. Sock it to em Div 1.

Jack, great reports, keep everyone out of the alligator pit for me and the Klondie bar comment hurts, Jones for one right now.

Stopped for a midnight snack and fuel at a Sheetz just north of Richmond. 4hrs to go... Hoping to get through DC tonight so I don't have rush hour to deal with in the morning. Been running through steady rain since 10mi south of the VA/NC border. Mostly light, but heavy every once in a long while.

Hope that's a pallet of Klondikes from Sams or Costco! ;-). "How to make friends and influence people". -grin-

See y'all... At some point!

Lots of standing water on some roadways. Take your time, stay alert and be safe! Caused me one good scare, but made it through, and on to the track. Kickin' back for a (very) little shut-eye. Still raining.

Good morning --- Yep , I see 'em and I've already taken my meds this morning - both cats and dogs coming down bigtime -- been raining here for several hours - very heavy at times - no flooding here but in Philadelphia they have had rivers cresting and flooding of rivers -- seems to me the last few times I've been here the big story is weather not cars .Anyway the rain is to stop by late morning with the Sun peeking out and the drying process will begin then .

Parking - if you're not already here there is plenty of parking to be had - but unless you're an Alcohol or Comp racer its on the sand for you as the paved portion of the pits are packed - after it gets light out I'll shoot a few pics of the sand areas .

Weather numbers -- Barometer -29.41 , temp 71 degrees , 74% humidity , DA 2159 '-- .55 Vapor pressure .

Later ..........
