date does not matter, if Jack or Bob Lang are anywhere in the vicinity,rain is likely!!

[Sorry Jack, but if I did'nt say it ,someone else would have]

I heard the reason they changed it was because the weather was supposed to be better that weekend.

Nobody controls the weather and we all know ''deep down'' that Jack and Bob have nothing to do with it....razzing them about it is done in good humour.....
Perhaps there is room for improving a ''rain disaster plan'' by being more proactive and less reactive.
Easy to say, some will think/say....but some events/tracks seem to do a better job at it than others.
No matter what weather will always have the final word and that is just the way it is.
Way back when I was still racing and complaining about the weather a more senior racer at the time told me that if rain was my problem I should take up BOWLING......
