This is pretty simple - no popcorn or beverages needed to understand the entire deal - we sit for a day or two and if it looks really bad they cancel to next weekend as the Pro's have that weekend free .Not sure what happens to the Pennsylvania Dutch Classic but there is plenty of time to figure it out .At this point we're getting ahead of ourselves as the storm could blow out to sea as some of the weathermen have said this morning .Stay tuned ...........

[Tom Goldman]

Not very encouraging , NHRA has extended the time to withdraw from the race until noon PST Wendsday due to impending weather .

[Bobby Fazio]

Accuweather forecast is getting better. Saturday may only be the "bad" day now. Tomorrow isn't looking as bad, Thursday is talking about rain in the afternoon but sportsman could be done by then. Friday says cool with periods of rain. I think we will be ok.

Bobby Fazio you are right, the bad weather is moving, just check with weather mapping and we might get it all in. i'm driving about 8 hrs and can't cancel our reservations anyways.lol Claude Ruel p.s. Jack we know you're not the cause of this but could you offer the Gods of rain an offering to stop the rain for a while. thanks.

I've offered them plenty but it's still raining here in Bethlehem - but the forecast does look better so maybe, just maybe the Gods are willing to make a deal .....we'll see ! !


BTW, has anyone else NOT received an e-mail from Josh Petersen to print out their ticket and buy others ???? I got nothing and calling Glendora all I have is voicemail ......Hmmm.

Should be able to get parked and tech'd tomorrow, maybe some qualifying on Thursday.
After it starts on Thursday it looks like Sunday is the next best day.

Question is, after getting rain today/tonight will they be able to park because we all know no one will be leaving.

Even if you're an over the top Optimist.....that forecast is dismal at best...
