I second that Ang.

I Totally and completely agree Angelo. This is arguably one of the most anticipated and cherished events of the year. S and SS class, Hemi shootout, the best track in all of div 1, and 3, record runs, factory racing, and no circus cars to interfere with real racing....... Based on the predictions which are all 80%+ for non stop rain until Saturday, they should seriously consider pulling the plug now....

Sorry! Taken straight from the NWS (weather.gov) site at the time I posted. I blame the Government for this! They changed the weather.

They have this posted on the homepage for Reading's weather service area (Philly)...

http://governmentshutdown.noaa.gov/Due to the Federal Government shutdown, NOAA.gov and most associated web sites are unavailable. However, because the information this site provides is necessary to protect life and property, it will be updated and maintained during the Federal Government shutdown. For more information please go to the following link:


Anyways, sorry for the tease, but, that's what it said at the time. I was ready to be watching some record runs on via the net!

No, it is just typical Maple Grove weather in October....

If it can rain....it will ....

I have been there so many times over the years when it rained like this it is a almost expected....

I stayed home and am real glad I did.....

It never rained much at all where I live in northern NJ......100 miles to the north and east....

I have to add I have been there when the weather was perfect and there is hardly a better event when the sun is out....
