You can tell from the puddles on the ground that a drag race is coming to town.

Think the puddles must be drain water from all the air conditioners keeping the big coaches and stackers cool....LOL. With the historic drought though it's not that improbable that rain will be in the forecast.

Actually, it rained fairly hard last night for several hours. It was 41 degress when I got in line this morning, a little too chilly for us westy weather winnies. Thanks for pics Tony.................

The weather forecast that I am looking at shows very good weather all weekend. Low to mid 60's every day except Sunday when it should be in the low 70's. I also shows no wet stuff all weekend. I know every weather report is different, but what do others say??? I hope the weather holds and this race turns into a great one. With weather like this (if it holds) the cars should be running very well and fast.

Weather channel now predicting 70% chance of rain tomorrow so sure enough if you want to break a drought just schedule a drag race....hopefully any showers will be late in the day and sportsman racers will get at least two hits.

Well go figure. If you need rain, schedule a race. I remember many times going to a race and being rained out. In fact, S.I.R. stood for "sorry it's raining". The track has been renamed to Pacific Raceways (original name) and the older local racers still predict rain by having an event scheduled. HA HA. I hope the rain is light and well into the evening so that the sportsman guys can get the day in efficiently. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
