Lets hope the weatherman continues to be wrong for the next couple of days about MG weather like he was for this weekend.
Here are Accuweather and NOAA weather links for the Grove.

http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick...2=-75.9877&e=0
At least it looks good after Thursday.
I'm anticipating a repete of last year,where we sat and waited for things to dry out.
which worked out OK except for only getting 1 hit on the track before Elims.

I hope I'm wrong!!

This is a more accurate forecast because it comes from the track area. Reading is technically about 10 miles away I believe. Forecast looks great with no rain but a cold saturday.

Now for my dumb question: If I am not coming until Thursday morning I just go right to the track and not to VF outlet, correct?

Sure would expect so, but since you have a small tow rig and trailer operation like me, they can throw you anywhere and not have to tow you out later! What time are you predicting first Qualifying hit will be for SS?

I emailed "Josh Peterson" from NHRA about Bobby Fazio's question.
"Where do we go if we arrive thursday morning?
His answer was... proceed to the track.
