Be mindful of competitors who might not be able to make it until Saturday.
Question is.... How late can they run till on Saturday night at Etown?

Ok just noticed in Steve's post the curfew goes to 10pm.

At least leave the fields open so when it does inevitably rain I can get in for the reschedule.

Just wait till next year when the Epping National Event takes away another free weekend to move things. Going to be a tough one trying to schedule all the association races & special events next year around everything. Just hope we go into a drought and get no rain all summer...lol.

The 2010 E-town div'l was adjusted to 1 tt Saturday then run to completion. They got everything but 2 finals done before curfew. That was a great call by the D1 staff since the forecast was about garranteed to be a wash on Sunday. I'm sure the D1 guys will be fully on top of things like they were then.

This forcast could change a couple of times till the weekend , but we've had worse forcasts than this and got the race in.

It's drizzling now at Etown and it's calling for it steady all day . I live in the DC metro area and our forecast for today was sunny and 92 , but its been a steady drizzle since last night and the radar maps show it pushing up the east coast towards Etown .

I dont know about the rest of you but I dont want to sit in the rain or deal with a wet track . This race should be rescheduled to the wed &thur before Charlotte or the wed & thur before Bristol points meet

Etown is one of my favorite places to race but I cant waste time or the money to go if it rains out , setting in the rain or dealing with a bad track wont help NHRA or the racers

Some of us already have to chose not to go back to Indy from div 1 (22) cars

Is Jack going?? That's the question. :-)

If you were not at etown how can anyone say it was raining drizziling or rained out. We got there at 1:30. Parked in the field . Got in and parked. Had something to eat and drink and the sun was out left at 9:30 no rain no drizzle ! Place was filling up quickly.. The weatherman gets paid millions. And cant get it right 90% of the time.
