On tonights local news hour, the weather forecast for Sat calls for a possibilty of light intermitent showers, and Sundays supposed to be nice. Time will tell.Like Jim said, I`d rather be bench racing in the rain than at work anyhow!

Well if u don't show up u just want ever now and if it rains I hear storms taking some other racer to the bc strip club for drinks.

a rained out day at the track is STILL better than the best day possible at work......nuff said! ( my ole' boy is dropping the cars at the track today and says it currently looks good!)

Weather here changes by the hour and it depends what station you are looking at. Here's what the track uses.

The track webcam shows they are running. Cleaning up from a crash or broken car it looks like.
I'm headed out there in the morning, without an umbrella.

I saw a bunch of trailers heading north today and 2 heading back south from the border, PM me and I can tell you how to get across if you have been denied entry.
See ya all Sunday.

It was a pretty decent day at Mission today, I rolled in around 10.30am, no rain at all since about 6.00 am this morning, although the Test & Tune didn`t get started until 1.30-2.00PM.I saw a few cars make 6 or 7 passes today. At least 3 new Stockers in the pits, Mike Bookers Drag Pack Challenger, Grant Eldridges D/SA 68 Camaro, and although it isn`t finishd yet, Tom Nolans new 64 Thunderbolt was there, fresh out of the chassis shop. Lots of room in the pits for more cars, the test & tune was cut short around 6.30PM, when a Comp door car (AA/AT 56-57 Corvette) hit both guard rails hard, broke both front struts/wheels off, and moved at least 2 of the 3800 lb concrete blocks noticably.Sat & Sunday are looking pretty weatherwise, and if Friday is as "crappy" as the forecast called for today, we should be fine,

Good Luck to everyone this weekend! It's always a crap shoot early in the season at Mission-even though it's a month later than usual this year.

Hopefully someone will be taking pictures and posting them, as that will be as close as I can get to seeing the cars.
