Who is going to d4 race in baytown.looks like rain and mud.Again

Brett C · 03-04-2014, 08:40 PM

We're planning on it.

Ed Wright · 03-04-2014, 09:03 PM

Ten hours each way, and about $1100.00 worth of diesel. Don't want to sit in the rain that bad. Two Houston racers tipped me off to their weather and forecasts a couple hours ago. Worse than the weather channel app on my phone. Local forecasts are normally more accurate. Thanks to my friends, I'm skipping this one. I can make it up at Topeka. Already loaded up too. LOL

As cool as it is supposed to be, slowing the car down enough to stay out of trouble would be tough too.

You guys have fun.

Just looked at weather underground. Only one I trust. It says 10% Fri 40% sat and 60% sun. So maybe they will try to complete race sat. My car and engine are in pieces so I'll just be watching. So if it rains I won't have to be pulled out like last year.

Ed Wright · 03-04-2014, 09:32 PM

Ed, that is what my phone shows. I was told a local TV station there says 60% Saturday & 70% Sunday.

Bill Bogues · 03-04-2014, 10:22 PM

Bill's sister lives about 15 minutes from the track and she says it has been raining there for 2 days and forecast for Sunday is rain.

Working on an adjustable throttle stop today. I was told 83% to 85% was good for 2 tenths. Hope that is right. I can dump it at 1000', but am not good enough to race it that way. I have to dial honest and drive it out the back door, unless I can see I am ahead. Div 4 is full of fast cars. I pretty much always leave first. Lots of CJs & hood scoop cars here. I pretty much never have control of the stripe.

I think I need to attend that session myself. (-;

My car had already quit running by the time I got it to 1000 ft., so it didn't matter much if I dumped or not!
